As my colleague Chris Ryan said up here on the ninth floor of TD Banknorth Garden, “This is one of the ugliest games I’ve ever seen.” Yes. But Brian Scalabrine and Paul Pierce just hit back-to-back treys to cut the Magic lead to 89-83. There’s 2:40 left here. The Magic look scared. A few more [...]
An Eddie House trey (which kinda looked like a two from my viewpoint) and a Rajon Rondo steal and breakaway dunk cut the lead to 81-71 with 10:10 remaining in the game. Again, do the C’s have it in them? After seven brutal games? Rondo appears to have awoken from his daze. He looked like [...]

Less than a minute into the game, Big Baby Davis has already drawn a charge on Dwight Howard. Couple more of those and Baby’ll be the hero of Game 1. Howard has one bucket so far but Kendrick Perkins is battling him hard. Perk already has a block of Howard. Four minutes in it’s 4-4. [...]
Doc Rivers doesn’t want the Celtics to over think anything tonight. As is usually the case, Doc delivered a few good lines. Prepare for the Magic? Rivers chose rest instead. Right now, after a seven-game series, there’s a battle between (in his words) brains and legs. Even if there’s work to be done, “I’m taking [...]
