Magic finally got the memo that TA can be pumped faked every single time and he will never learn

Orlando playing with more energy than all previous games combined.
Keep this to less than 6 down in Qt 1 and I say storm has been weathered.

Agreed, looks like he's running through water compared to his normal self.

You'd think the prospect of having to go back to Orlando, and the chance to get rested up for the finals would be huge incentives to play better than this.

Apparently, Pierce is just gonna go ahead and do it on his own until the rest of this team shows up.

With the personnel on the floor, PP and KG should be playing a two man game on offense every possession.

Brandon Bass is playing because he played a really inspired minute in the last game.

Does Gortat have mono?
Because he falls asleep on every defensive end.

Just as well to get him his bench time early when he's misfiring anyway. Tony Allen as point guard... that's not nearly so awful a prospect as it used to be.

Just rewatched that foul on Pierce. Pierce wasn't even touching Redick when they called that foul.

31 points, multiple open 3s. That quarter is what most people expected this series to look like. We better turn it around

They finally abandoned the automatic feed inside and driving into lanes then kicking it out.
Thank god they didn't start doing that last game.

Don't like the way this is going. Still confident the Celtics make a run and take this game over soon, though.

Awful first quarter.
Certainly not the defensive intensity that we saw from start to finish in Game 3. I expect them to ratchet it up and take the lead back by halftime.

Orlando played their best quarter of the entire series, Boston played one of their worst (except Pierce)....and we're still right there.

Ok Doc, 2 fouls doesn't mean you have to bench Rondo for 10 minutes of game action

Nate Robinson? Really? Rivers letting the foot off the gas a bit here? (although I do actually like Robinson)

Has he appeared in non garbage time before this?

JVG is full of shit. That was definitely traveling on Redick.

Maybe we should play a lineup that has seen the floor together before.

Rondo has 2 fouls. Why has he been on the bench for half an hour?
Sheed's magic has worn off. Back to airballing threes.

This shit is all on Rondo. He just killed any flow the C's could have had at the start. He wasn't trying to create or anything. Kept deferring to Ray at the start, letting him handle the ball, run the sets, etc. His 2nd foul on Howard was stupid, too. He's gotta understand how much he means to this team every single game.

It feels like they're down a dozen right now.
The fact that they're not is really comforting. It feels like the C's are merely toying with Orlando right now.

I love your optimism.
I sort of feel like they were due for a bad game. This is hardly the worst place for it.
