how do you see the orlando-boston ecf series playing out?

lets leave all the past news in this playoffs about the hawks playing this, cavs doing that, etc.

boston vs orlando.
orlando has homecourt advantage.
who wins the series?

I think it'll be the Magic in seven. But if Boston can beat Cleveland, they can certainly beat Orlando. I'll have to update my grade in the report card to at least a C now because of their latest success.

Sue me but I am picking Boston to win this series.

Orlando in 6.

Cavs didn't have the bench or the bigs that Orlando does to throw at Boston. Jameer Nelson unlike Mo' Williams doesn't play on and off. He's been way more steady than Mo'. Matt Barnes/Pietrus can both take turns hitting threes and taking on Pierce. KG can't let Lewis shoot from outside like he did with Jamison and because Lewis rarely goes into the post and KG will need to double Howard with Perkins, Lewis will get a boatload of looks from long range. Vince is still athletic enough to cover Allen while being a legit scoring option (unlike Parker).

I've filed the papers, SRF. You'll be subpoenaed soon.

Magic in seven. But I wouldn't be surprised at all by a Celtics win. They're hungry for vengeance now that KG is healthy.

Idk but here are my predictions for both teams.If Magic win,they will win in 7.If Celtics win,they will win in 7.

It will go down to some things.

Can Perkins and the whole team stop Howard?Atlant couldnt, and Shaq is way worse but he did have 21 and 19 in 2 games, thats what concerns me.

Orlandos winning efficiency, they are one of the best home teams and away teams, they played only 8 games to get to the finals.They havent lost since April and have to lose twice since January.Boston will need a back to back win to win the series and Orlando has to lose back to back 4 months.

Can the C's play like they did with Cavs?Have they enough left in the tank?

Can Rondo get the better of Nelson, if yes the C's will have chances.

1st game will be a factor, if C's can play the fast pased Orlando will play then we will have chances.

7 games. no idea who's going to win. boston is playing a lot better than they were, but I don't know if it's better than orlando. i guess I'll stay with what I've said since the middle of the season and go Orlando, but Boston could win this series too.

I agree with Ryan wholeheartedly I think it will go a full 7 with no idea who takes it. Boston is playing a whole lot better and Orlando looks set to go back to the Finals the way they are playing. Both teams are revamped since the last time they saw each other in the semis. Boston has KG this time, but also got rid of House who was lights out in that series for Boston and scorched them for 30 and hit some key shots. Maybe Boston has another House on their bench this season. Orlando has a few new faces as well that can leave a mark on this series. Rondo-Nelson will be a very exciting duel I think and Pierce/VC matchup seems interesting. If Sheed has a good series Boston can do something here.

Magic in 6

I think this is a great matchup but lets be real here the Celtics can go out and get a 30 point lead if they want against the Magic but Orlando can get really......really hot from 3.....

And when that happens

Boston has a good chance to beat them though....beating Cleveland is a hell of a moral booster and they got grea interior defence. Boston will contain Dwight just fine but like I said Dwight doesnt need to play well for the Magic to win cause of all the streaky players they have....

ORL in 6.

They're gonna run against the Celtics... something the cavs didn't do. The Cavs wanted to play at a slower pace, which was actually an advatage for the C's... Whenever the cavs did run against the C's, they went on a little run... The Magic like to wun and I think that's gonna kill the celtics.. esp. since ORL has a bunch of guys that can score.

After the Bruins' total choker tonight, the Celtics will not win as the fans are just completely dejected. They can blame the Bruins for destroying Boston's pride until October, assuming the Red Sox are even playing by then.
