Magic 113, Celtics 92 (Celtics lead 3-2)
To be totally honest, I am not surprised that the Magic, at home, came out focused to take Game 5 of this series. Dwight Howard looked ready to go as he scored 21 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked 5 shots.  The real key to this game was Jameer Nelson.  Nelson gave the Celtics a dose of their own medicine as he did his best impression of Rajon Rondo.  He cut his way into the defense finding his teammates for wide open threes.  Nelson …

Magic 96, Celtics 92 (OT – Celtics lead 3-1)
Down 3-0 and hearing the rumors that they already gave up, the Orlando Magic went into Boston and found a way to win in overtime.  Up seven with 2:15 left to play in regulation, the Magic surrendered their lead giving Boston a chance to win the game.  As Paul Pierce set up for the game winning shot, much like he did earlier in the playoffs against the Heat, he fumbled the ball.  As both teams dove for the ball, time expired setting …

Celtics 92, Magic 88 (Celtics lead 1-0)
Did anyone else think they were going to blow it? Or did the Magic wake up too late to complete the comeback?
Holding a 20-point advantage in the third quarter, the Orlando Magic launched a massive assault at Boston, including a 6-point swing off Jason Williams and Mickael Pietrus 3-point bombs. While they were able to get the lead down to two off an acrobatic tip in by Jameer Nelson, the Magic were unable to revert the lead.
Story of the game was Paul Pierce and …

Celtics 94, Cavaliers 85 (Celtics win series 4-2)
Oh my, that just happened…
Boston will now move on to face the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference finals after a 9 point clinching win at the TD Bank North Garden. I’m honestly still in disbelief this happened. Again, the Celtics used a balanced attack of Rondo, Ray-Ray, Pierce, and KG and gave LeBron and Co way to much to handle.
But let’s be honest – if anything was telling about the last 2 minutes of the game, it was Cleveland giving up. 9 …

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Celtics 97, Cavaliers 87 (Series tied 2-2)

Let’s start with some simple facts about this game.

Rajon Rondo had 29 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists in this game. This has to vault him into talks of being one of the better point guards in the league. Looking at his stats you can tell he had a big game, but watching thebeginning of the fourth quarter, my Dad told me it looked like he was Usain Bolt, and the rest of the players were handicapped. The Celtics were leading 2 …

Celtics 104, Cavaliers 86 (Series tied 1-1)
The Celtics give me heart trouble worse than a Double Whopper. Over the years, June Jubilation has given me “Playoff Palpitations”. There seriously is no safe lead when it comes to the Boston Celtics – it’s like they almost enjoy making it interesting.
Up 91-66 with 9 minutes to go, it appeared the C’s had it in the bag. JJ Hickson and LeBron had other ideas, scoring a combined 15 points in 5 minutes. Meanwhile, Boston was held without a basket during this period.
With the …

Cavaliers 101, Celtics 93 (Cavs lead 1-0)

Although the first round of playoff action isn’t completely over (Bucks/Hawks), the second round went underway Saturday night with an iconic matchup between MVP LeBron James and his Cavaliers hosting the veteran-laden Celtics. Our predictions have been compiled and will be shown after round 1 completion, but I can tell you from my standpoint, the Cavs should be able to win this series in no more than six games. Tonight’s game makes me feel confident that they could maybe even do the job in …
