For some reason I think the Magic win tonight.
But I'm not sure that will actually happen. Either way it's over in 5 MAX.

Magic looked laughably bad for most of game 3. Like, I'm-gonna-chuck-up-a-three-with-17-seconds-on-the-shot-clock bad. Or Vince-Carter-is-infecting-us-like-the-plague bad. That said, I think they can keep it closer in game 4 ... but I don't think they win in Boston tonight. Celts by 13.

Might this be the last time we get to see Ron Jeremy roaming the Orlando sidelines?

I've had a feeling all day that the Magic will take this one, just because usually a team fights like hell when they're on the brink for at least one game. But I'm still picking Boston, I have zero faith in the Magic. Pretty much knew they weren't any better than this--props to all of those who called it like it was and said VC for Turkeyglue fucked them.

What a absolutely terrible 1st half!! First time in awhile they've looked very sluggish and it seems like there is not effort or heart tonight, it could be the 3-0 lead and playing at home but there is no excuse for it in the playoffs. When you have a team like Orlando on the ropes you HAVE to finish them off!
Boston seems to just have no flow on offense and letting Orlando drive and kick out to open shooters and Howard is ACTUALLY playing tonight. The officials are whistle happy with 39 total FT's taken in the 1st half but Boston missing 6 FT's and 7 turnovers are KILLING them! Having Rondo in foul trouble really hurts b/c Nate Robinson or Tony Allen cannot run this team. Hopefully Doc lights a fire under their ass and they come out with a big run to start the 2nd half!

They've done an exceptional job on Rondo tonight.

"I think what Stan Van Gundy is doing is going offense/defense"--Jackson talking about him switching out Matt Barnes for Vince Carter.
Uhhhhh....Carter is 1 of 9. Barnes is 4 of 8. I think what he's doing is going with the better player.

OMG the Magic suck at life.
Agree with JVG...RUN OUT!!!! You aren't playing for the last shot right now, get down the court and score the basketball.

WTF is that shit? There were about 3 fouls in the last 10 seconds. None called. I hate that shit, if the refs could be consistent for a change then they could call the same rules at the end and not just have to swallow their whistles.

That is ridiculous for a foul not being called when Pierce is trying to pick up a loose ball with seconds left and he is blasted from behind to run the time out. That should not be allowed, a foul is a foul, call it!

I might have to rethink my "it's over in 5 MAX" statement. I think Orlando gets game 5 also....

Boston has been better on the road all season. I wouldn't be surprise if they end the series game 5.

This game was ALL on Doc Rivers..... There was NO game plan tonight offensively or defensively!! NOT Calling a timeout with 15 seconds left to advance the ball to midcourt that whole last possession in regulation was flat out terrible Pierce MAY have been hip checked but they are not gonna call that although it COULD have been called. Still the blame is on Doc for that one and Pierce was just for some reason dead tired in OT he had no lift at all. And Howard was getting ALL the loose balls and put backs. Boston pretty much almost BS'd their way to a win tonight. Gotta take game 5. There was NO EXCUSE for that performance tonight especially in close out game!
