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!

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.
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.

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

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!!!
