The key here is Paul Pierce vs. Vince Carter - Carter has to win this matchup for Orlando to have a chance. **CLICK ON VIDEO BELOW FOR FULL VIDEO BREAKDOWN** While the Celtics played great team defense, it looked more like the Magic was off their game.

Nice point of view

But another point of view could have the title named "How the old and tired Celtics beat a young and rested Magic"

And it Continues...

The Utter Disrespect to a Team That is talented, experienced, and Hungry. For the last 3 wins now, there has been an excuse for why our opponents Lost, instead of what The Vaunted Celtics Defense did to Help them lose.

I like to compare The Boston Celtics to an Ugly car at a car show – It’s there, and it kind of drove itself there..no one invited it, wanted to be seen in it, or wants it there. It is unappealing. Not cool, or sleek.

The sleek, cool, hip model was sent home in a heaping wreck a few days ago. Details at 11.

But it’s here..and now ORL has to deal with it. The Car no one wanted at this Car Show is here and causing trouble. It is aware of the other models of cars at this show, and admires them for their body of work.

But it knows that it is one of a kind in its own right. It sees its own beauty, and how it functions. Every single part of this ugly car contributes to the Whole. When one part may have trouble operating, another part steps in to compensate.

The longer it remains at this car show, the more respect it will get from the other model cars.

And if we aren’t careful, this undesirable car may win its 18th Prize.

Eh...

I’m not sure that you give nearly enough credit to the Celtics. The role of the Celtics defense is to make teams look like they’re off their game. It’s exactly what happened in the Cleveland series, and it’s what happened in Game 1. Of course, nobody can give credit where it’s due, so we have the “elbow” and “rust” excuses.
