This series is a tough one to call. Both teams match up well with each other. But Ima go with the Celtics in 6 games. The Magic have not been tested at all this playoffs and will face an experienced gutty Celtics team that has taken out Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. I think with their bigs they can take care of Dwight Howard. The question is, will Paul Pierce and Ray Allen show up? Cuz Rondo alone cant do it. The Magic will score points and hit 3s so its imperative for the Celtics guards to step up. I have no faith in the Magic. They are PRETENDERS and only want to make the Finals to lay down for Kobe & LA. The Celtics on the other hand are not afraid of the Lakers and beat them in the Finals just 2 years ago. The psychological edge the Lakers have on 99% of the league, doesnt work against the Celtics who have dominated the Laker franchise thru out history. That being said, Im rooting for the C's because I think they have a better chance to dethrone the defending champs than the Magic. Should be a good series.

I'm taking Orlando. Although Orlando has been sweeping through the playoffs, this series will be different. Boston has a great defense that will keep the in games. Their defense will lead them into the offense a lot of the times in transition. Have to keep an eye not only on Rondo in transition but also Ray Allen. Allen makes a good amount of his 3s in transition. Also its going to be an interesting match-up between Rondo and Nelson.

But I think Magic's defense and 3s will once again lead them to a series win.

Magic in 7.

I'm gonna go with my gut feeling and take Boston in 6. The Celtics pushed Orlando to 7 games last year without KG in the lineup. I think the Celtics will be able to defend the Magic very well, similar to the how Bobcats did. But unlike the 'Cats, I think Boston will find enough offense to pull it out.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
