This is a huge match-up and I'm sure a lot of these players are going to remember the seven game series last year ultimately won by the Magic. The Magic want to stay ahead of the Celtics, and the Celtics will be looking for revenge. The Celtics match ups got a little easier because Magic pg Jameer Nelson is out with a torn pec. The starting line ups are:
PG J. Williams R. Rondo
SG V. Carter R. Allen
SF M. Pietrus P. Pierce
PF R. Lewis K. Garnett
C D. Howard K. Perkins
Obviously Rajon can run on the old bones of Jason Williams, but the most interesting matchups are going to be Perk and Rasheed on Dwight Howard. Howard is a monster and has been scoring more this year. Perk always plays Dwight tough on defense, and when Rasheed is in it will be interesting how Dwight will handle him when he spreads the court.
Celtics- 109-77
Tommy Award: Perk
