96 Magic, 92 Celtics



I feared this. I did. Last night's game was one of the most frustrating games to watch because the Celtics just couldn't get over the hump. Every time they made a run the Magic would hit a three or the Celtics would mess up. You could from the second the game started that they lacked the killer instinct that they had in game 1-3.

The one play that could have been the last play in regulation. There was 13 or 17 seconds left with the Celtics having the ball after a Jameer Nelson rushed shot. Doc didn't call a time out (which I didn't agree with at all) then the possession got ugly, they fumbled the ball around and Pierce couldn't even get a shot up. I thought that looked apparent but Doc stood by his call. There could have been a call on Jameer Nelson for running into Pierce but I'm glad it was a no call, I don't want to see game 4 ended on free throws.

KG played terrible in the 4th quarter and OT (unofficial 0-4, 3 fouls and 3 TOs). Rondo (9 points, 3-10 FG, 8 assists) did not look right all night, I didn't read what his first half injury was but it obviously was effecting his play.

Jameer Nelson had a great game with 23 points, he was able to penetrate all night and Dwight Howard benefited from that with 32 points and 16 rebounds.

Looks like we have to end it in Orlando.
