Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

We're Going To Disney World!

Magic Blog | Game Thread | Chat Room | ESPN Preview

The Magic have been great at home (13-6) while the Celtics have been better on the road (8-9) than at home.  On the other hand, the Celtics bombed on their West Coast road trip, so who can say if these numbers mean anything at all?

Should be an interesting matchup of Dwight Howard vs. Al Jefferson.  Also, former college teammates Delonte West and Jameer Nelson match up against each other.  Blah blah blah.  I'm boring myself.  Can you tell I'm not very good at these "game preview" pieces?  Just toss the ball up and play!

jeff, you sound apathetic!
don’t be apathetic
or team may be pathetic
but double G on the wing
and big al in the paint
are prophetic

I dread these kinds of games because of the officiating. The Celtics (along with the majority of “have not” teams) get zero respect from the officials, and it will be difficult to watch Dwight Howard push, shove and bull his way around the court while all the little rinky-dinky touch fouls go against the Celtics.

The absolute worst thing about the NBA is the way the officials favor the sneaker company darlings. It really shows a lack of respect for the game.

that’s it, we need Gerald to get a major shoe contract so we can get more calls! first the dunk championship, then the $$$, then the calls!

Telfair already has the big shoe contract but he won’t get squat from the officials until he starts to live up to it.

Who is the midget starting pf going to guard tonight? Here are the #‘s: Battie 6’11, Howard 6’11, and Milicic 7’2. This is the #1 thing the Celtics have to upgrade.

Some interesting matchups tonight. Big Al vs Howard should be good. Old teammates, Delonte and Jamir Nelson. He killed us last game, 24 points, 11 for 17.

I’ll jump on the Tommy Gun Bandwagon and beat up on the officials too. They’re terrible! The biggest example was Lebron’s flop the other night, a la Reggie Miller. The Refs should call the foul if they SEE it, not based on the reaction of the player. Orlando is a young team too, so they shouldn’t get more calls…but then again, you guys are right, DH will surely benefit from his rep tonight. >:(

Tough matchups all around.

May need to start Perk and bring Big O off the bench. Turkuglu is too big for Wally, Ariza too quick. Al Jeff could do some damage against Battie if they can get that matchup. Otherwise just have to hope Perk is ready for some banging underneath. Tony should be able to beat his man, but will be tough to get to the basket. May have to earn it at the line.
Should be interesting. Take it to um. If the C’s come out tentative they are sunk.

Cousy is doing the game vs the Magic. He is fun to listen to as he
is a hard marker and a purist. His insights on the PGs in particular should be interesting. I hope Rondo sees some action and
they let Powe off the pine to provide some muscle and attitude.

What’s Szczerbiak shooting now, 1 for 50?

by Brickowski on Jan 7, 2007 7:14 PM EST reply actions  

Wally has really hurt this team since coming back from the injury.If he is not shooting well, Doc should not play him. He can’t guard the slowest player on the court. We definately need to get rid of him

by bostoncv on Jan 7, 2007 8:07 PM EST reply actions  

Well, they battled to the end, but Wally’s ineptitude was too much to overcome.

I’m not sure who deserves to be put out of his misery first, Szczerbiak or Rivers, for playing him.

Nice job of not forcing tempo Doc! Getting paid by the loss Doc?

by scndtony on Jan 7, 2007 8:46 PM EST reply actions  

The ressurection of Tony Allen continues!!! 7 steals, nice

by truthhurts34 on Jan 7, 2007 8:49 PM EST reply actions  

At least Doc will land us a top 3 pick before he goes. Great Job Nurse

by Milley21 on Jan 7, 2007 9:49 PM EST reply actions  

And 6 turnovers by TA

by maccurta on Jan 7, 2007 11:06 PM EST reply actions  

 Wally & Scal bombing away. Scal keeps missing and Wally keeps feeding him the ball. Wally a turnover waiting to happen. Al only 8 shots. He starts going good in the first they go away. He picks it up at the start of the 3rd they go away. If they pound Howard and make him work defensively he will tire everybody does. I say once again FIRE DOC!!!! Until that day we have to get used to POOR GAME MANAGEMENT. How many times have we lost close ones since he has been the coach? TOO MANY! We need an XO’s coach. FIRE DOC!!!
