------------------

I'm gonna take the Celtics in this 1. Everyone's saying the Magic have an advantage since no Garnett for the Celtics, but I think the Magic are pretenders. I dont have faith in their coach and the fact they fall in love with jump shots. Celtics in 7.

Magic win Game 1

[Tweeder]

Magic tried to give the game away in the end of the 3rd-4th quarter.....lucky they had almost a 30 point lead or Boston would have won game 1

Celtics crush Magic, series tied 1-1

Rajan Rondo bounces back from his bad game in Game 1 and puts up yet another triple double. Eddie House came off the bench and dropped 31 points and got in Rafer Alston's head. I still think the Celtics will win this thing.

Rafer Alston slaps Eddie House so hard, his headband spins!

[King Taharqa]

The NBA suspended Rafer Alston one game Thursday for slapping Eddie House(notes) in the back of the head, leaving the team in the hands of 34-year-old Anthony Johnson(notes) and seldom-used Tyronn Lue(notes) for Friday’s Game 3 against the Boston Celtics in their Eastern Conference semifinal.

Alston contended afterward that House goaded him into the play. A Magic spokesman said Alston was not planning to comment until Friday’s morning shootaround.

Physical play has frustrated the Magic throughout the playoffs and ballooned into a series of foolish retaliations, a formula the Celtics look to continue as the series shifts to Orlando tied.

That game....was awesome....

[King Taharqa]

Big Baby with the buzzer beater! Boston still in it.

[King Taharqa]

Series tied 2-2

[King Taharqa]

Big Baby's buzzer beater

[Falcons1stPanthers2nd]

He got suspended for that slap but Rondo can throw a guy and get nothing more than a technical?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

lol he just pushed that fuging kid out of the way.

[King Taharqa]

Magic take Game 6, force Game 7

More rest for King James and the Cavs. I'm still taking Boston to win this series. Winning a Game 7 in Boston as a visiting team is one of the hardest things to do in sports.

Let's go Magic.
