Unfortunately, I dont think the Celts have a shot against the Magic... as much as I would like to see them win.
1) Perk is the only one who can match up with Dwight... if he gets in foul trouble, we are screwed! Scal and Miki "I was I could foul" Moore wont be able to help us down low.
2) They can stretch the floor with size. Their front line, Howard, Lewis and Turk are all big bodies who can run the pick and roll well. Lewis and Turk are matchup problems for us on the perimeter. I think lewis is going to have a huge series vs us.
3) I know this sounds funny, but my bud plays for Orlando... Anthony Johnson... and in his career, he is 3-0 against the Celtics in the playoffs.(with the Pacers once, and twice with the Nets). Hope we can get by the "AJ" curse this year.
I think the celts will win game one, but fall in six. Marbury needs to become a scorer again if we are going to have a chance.
Oh, and if we could bring back Robert Parish, it wouldnt hurt either.
