“Howard’s post game definitely needs work, he did have one sweet spin move last night though.”

that was nice, but it wasn’t really a post move. he got the ball maybe 15 feet out facing the basket, and it was more of a drive with a spin to get him clear of the defender, assuming we’re talking about the same play.

Gortat is a free agent after this season…

It was the immovable object vs. the irresistable force: Stephon Marbury’s pitiful play-off W/L record vs. the Celtics impressive Game 7 home court record. The winner?

Marbury!

As a big KG fan, I was actually happy to see the Celts win it last year.

But with Marbury on that team, it was so great to see them lose yesterday. The power of Steph! Don’t mess with his mojo!

That was shocking to watch the Celts wilt at home in a game 7, and Pierce just looked shot. Very smart move by VG moving Hedo to the point forward, seemed to open things up for everyone. I really hope they can give the Cavs a series, but they’re so overreliant on the 3 and the Cavs defend it so well, I don’t see how they can take more than 1 game. I also agree with JA on Howard, he has no post moves at all unless he’s within 2 feet of the hoop. If he wasn’t such a freak athlete, he’d be an Okafor or Dalembert.

I am also in shock. I looked at my phone at the end of the third quarter, and the Magic were leading by just five. I figured it would be a close game. When I finally got to my tv, the Celtics were down 17. Just a bizarre way to go down…

Marbury had a second hilarious turnover soon after the first, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Dwight Howard is somehow the best center in the league and he has no post game. how many awful hooks did he take from the lane after Perkins pushed him two steps beyond his range?

Pietrus was huge, on both ends. I’m still in shock that Orlando won, to be honest.

Marcin Gortat is the s**t. He’s a more than capable Dwight replacement.

So what chance does Orlando have against the Cavs? Will they get a game off them?

Sort of anticlimactic here too….

Love Van Gundy leaving Howard on the bunch with five fouls. Why not just let him foul out?

Also, I love Marcin Gortat, the White Dwight. Dude can dunk from the free throw line and his stats are off the chart.

When I watch the Magic, I always wonder why they don’t play those guys together. Might not work out but could be an interesting combo….

Stephon Marbury checks in, drives the lane all alone. No where to go. Falls out of bounds with the ball.

Awesome.

Well that was anti-climatic. Hopefully the Eastern series will provide more action.
