So my friend and I got into a heated debate about which squad is going to be better between the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics. Now I love my friends to death but it makes it so difficult to debate something with someone that just got into basketball. You know who you are! So if you’re reading this then please feel free to leave comments!
“They are going to get beat by Cleveland.” “They are washed up and old.” ”Orlando will dominate them.” I have heard these words throughout the regular season and the playoffs. I have managed to bleed green throughout the good times and more importantly the bad times. There was a time where I thought Boston wouldn’t be able to flip the switch for the playoffs. But I stuck it out. When D-Wade was killing us single handedly, I stuck it out. When the Gang Green faced the team with the best regular season record, I stuck it out. When everybody and their mother here in Orlando were bragging about how bad the Magic were going to beat us, I stuck it out. Look at Boston now all you non believers! We are one win away from the NBA Finals!
Move over Danny Ainge because you might have some company. Please do not get me wrong, I enjoy exciting playoff series but geesh this Boston & Chicago series is suspenseful. If you haven’t been watching this playoff series, I think my first question to you would be WHY THE HELL NOT?? I do not mean to yell but seriously this is NBA Playoffs in its purest form. Please name me one other series that has left you on the edge of your seat? Don’t worry I’ll wait…. C’mon you cannot expect me to wait forever. I will give you the answer. There isn’t another series that is intense as this one. Let me just say that those pesky Chicago Bulls are pushing my team to the limit. I think I may have had a nightmare about Ben Gordon draining big shots. The only problem is that I wasn’t sleeping when this happened. Like the rest of the Celtics fans out there, I was witnessing this happen first hand. I must say that the fans are certainly getting their money’s worth!!! Thanks to the shooting touch of Paul Pierce, the Celtics look to close the series out in Chi-town. All I ask of you my beloved Celtics is that you do not make it so freaking dramatic. My weak heart cannot take much more. Stay tuned for my thoughts on Joakim Noah. If you do not know who he is then that is just perfect.
