It would be this years Magic-Celtic series. This isnt one of them other 93 series where its the Cavs-Bulls in the first round for example. Both of these teams can bring it and we know how the Celtics are capable of choking(Nets game) and how dangerous of a team the Magic are when they are hot.

I don't think it will happen. But if it does, I could see it happening this series.

If the Magic are hitting 3's like they did in the first half tonight I think they can win game 6. If they do win game 6 I can really see them winning game 7 as well.

The Celtics seem to finally be breaking down now.

It seems they blew their wad over the last 2 1/2 weeks and it's now catching up to them.

Um..you could have said this about any series that went from 3-0 to 3-2. Yet none of them have turned out 4-3 for the team that was down. But, yes, it could happen in this series, that's like stating that I'm American. Statistics say it won't, but the statistics have zero outcome on the games to be played.

The only reason I could see it happening is because of all the uncertainty regarding Boston for Game 6.

Seriously, Kendrick Perkins got severely hosed in Game 5. He could be suspended for Game 6, though I do expect one of those two BS T's to get waived.

Glenn Davis got KTFO and suffered a concussion, so he's doubtful for Game 6.

Potentially, you just lost two of your post players for an important Game 6 in Boston. I don't think the C's want to go back to Orlando.

I posted this about beginning of 4th..when it was still a game. It CAN happen in any series to someone who is down 3. BUT IF it were to ever happen, it would be this series.

Before this series, I thought Boston might get swept, and then they came out and dominated the first three games. After game 4 I started thinking it was possible for Orlando to win the series.

If the Perkins suspension holds up, Boston could be in some trouble. And who knows if Big Baby will be able to play? That really hurts Boston in game 6 on their home court which is basically a must win. If they lose that game, which seems more likely under the given circumstances, then you are back in Orlando for game 7.

I've been watching the Celtics for a long time. Bob Cousy ran the show when I first started following them. They have always found a way to dig deeper. This game 6 is obviously a huge match-up that will give the Magic tremendous momentum and confidence. For that very reason, I'm going to say the Celtics win game six at home and move on.

I think the Magic are toast in game 6 too, but the C's have to pick it up because the Magic are playing better. But the Magic players went from saying "one game at a time", "we need to refocus", etc.

Turn the TV on and Jameer Nelson is talking about how now they know they can win the series.

Oh, and Perkins' suspension will NOT stand. If it does, it's even more bullshit than the T's (I finally saw 'em).

If you would have posted this after game 3 or maybe even game 4 then it would mean something. But to do it when the Magic had a 9 pt. lead going into the 4th at home when they had controlled the game from the 3 min mark of the 1st qtr. doesn't really fly.

Game 6 will be the last game of the series.

The Magic won't do what the Flyers did.
