Re: Who else, really likes the Orlando Magic in game 7.. Looks like one of the better plays of the season..
gonna be all over my magic. way more talented, boston is on fumes, and ray allen hasn't done shit all series with the athletic magic guys guarding him (even JJ is staying with him!!)
if lewis and turk were playing even half as good as they did all season and dwight starts hitting his little jump hook, magic will absolutely crush the celtics, no matter where the game is played. big baby will get in foul trouble again because he's a fat fuck that's too stupid to realize he can't beat a point guard to a loose ball, perkins will get beasted on by dwight, and scalabrine simply knows he can't guard dwight.
if gundy is smart he'll give pietrus and lee a lot more playing time, as they've been playing like MEN. those guys can score and defend, and are playing better than turk and lewis have been. i'm loving how those two guys are playing right now.
anthony johnson has been playing much better this particular playoff series as well, and don't expect marbury's punk ass to put up 12 points in the 4th quarter again in game 7 to keep his team within striking distance.
boston has the advantage at point guard, and that's it. lee is playing just as well as allen, pietrus and turk can matchup with pierce just fine (and so long as he doesn't start hitting 3's, he isn't a huge threat because he's the only true scorer along with allen), lewis is certainly as athletic as big baby/scalabrine - and if he starts hitting 3's he'll absolutely blow the game out - and dwight is obviously the most dominant center in the league.
anybody betting on boston is basically saying they think rondo can guide this team to victory over one of the most talented teams in the league. i don't buy it.
the magic have fucked around all series and blown leads they certainly shouldn't have. i blame some of that on gundy, some on turk and lewis' terrible fucking shot selection. this series could have been over two games ago easily had big baby missed that shot and the magic not blown a 14-pt lead.
without kg and powe and pierce and allen clearly showing signs of old players, the magic are without a doubt the better team. the atmosphere of game 7 in beantown isn't going to stop that.
go magic, baby.
