[EC 2nd round] #2 Boston Celtics Vs. #3 Orlando Magic

Yep, nice job with no fronting and no double teams and that's about 5 games of touches for Yao as well.

 

A lot of those touches come as a direct result of his phenomenal athleticism.

9 offensive rebounds through 3 quarters.

Yao is more than welcome to collect offensive boards like that... the question is "can he?"

He also finishes an alley-oop or 2 per game... another thing Yao can't do effectively.

And the rebounding numbers have little to do with touches or types of defense... he is just a far better rebounder than Yao.

 

is it illegal to call a flagrant on the celtics? was house really playing the ball at all?


and as much as i hate boston, i almost want them to win. watching these mental marshmallow magic makes me want to vomit. lewis and johnson both going 0-2 from the line. another crime against humanity 3 point performance (just because it's may doesn't mean 3's become impossible). howard still not making any post up scores. meanwhile boston has perkins and davis nailing jumpers and rondo going crazy. granted, ray allen getting a series win out of this is pretty pathetic as well, but whatever. he and pierce didn't make a shot in the 3rd quarter of a game 6.

 

He's (howard) got my vote over Yao in the whining department...jesus bruh, dude looks like Brad miller when he dont get his way.

 

That is what I call a completely unbiased post. 100% USDA T.R.U.T.H.

 

Gortat, the guy some people are eyeing, comes in around 2 minutes into the 4th.

 

Does anybody happen to know the record for rebounds in a single game by a PG?

Does Oscar hold it?

 

The tempo is too fast for the celtics right now.

 

Dog did you look at the date when I picked Orlando in 6?

Hint : That was before the series start good lord.

 

This game has OT written all over it.

Hate to say it but its true.

 

hedo is now scared to shoot. dude sucks. get him off the floor SVG.

 

Clutch Dwight, clutch

 

Skip just made Scalabrine look stupid too bad Howard couldn't hold on to the ball.

 

Looked to me like he should have put the shot up. He fooled his own player, too.

 

Rafer tried to pass throw a tiny window with two Celtics on either side. As much as I hate to say it, he should've taken the teardrop.

 

3-10 from the FT line in this half, and he wonders why his teammates don't want to give him the ball in the clutch

 

Yeah he should have shot it but I guess he isn't too confident in the tear drop this game.

 

lol, Rashard Lewis can't take Scalabrine and then proceeds to get blocked.

 

Rashard Lewis is a joke.

 

That looked like Dwight went vertical but of course, Celtics will get the call.
