Down 0-2 the Magic bring their game into TD Garden and hope for the best against "the old guys"! The Magic have not played their best ball in this series and with Boston playing .500 ball since Santa slid down the chimney (27-27) the lead that Boston has is VERY surprising. The Magic on a tear since where they did not lose a game until the beginning of this series seem like deer caught in the headlights as they cannot manufacture a win regardless how hard they play. Pierce being guarded by Vince Carter has been a joke and Carter has to realize that DEFENSE means more right now than points. He has to stop complaining and take the Paul Pierce defensive approach and play "D" first, as Pierce did against the LeBron & the Cavs and put scoring in the backseat.
Orlando is definitely quicker than Boston but Boston is using their basketball intelligence to "outquick" the younger, more fleet-footed Orlando team. Orlando has to have Howard pay a complete game, WITH HELP, and not play to the crowd with all the cheesing smiles and waves to the crowd that he had in Game 2. Howard must realize that he is in jeopardy of going on vacation shortly if he does not take this series more seriously! This is not a movie and it is not going to end the way that the Director wants it to end unless the Director is coach Doc Rivers!!
Game on!!!!!!
