What a basketball game -- the Celtics down by 16 points in the third quarter and to have the ending we did, CRAZY! The Celts not only had to battle Dwight Howard and his Orlando Magic (who are fighting against us for the 2 seed), but last night the Cs had to battle the referees as well.
With Doc only playing KG to his limited 15 minutes, it's always going to be hard to beat the Magic's size. But the C's were not going down without a fight and closed that 16 point lead to a tie game with 1 minute left. Then it was anyone's game. That must scare Orlando either way, knowing our big man's on the bench and the C's can still hang with them. Anyway, the Celtics had a couple of opportunities to take the lead but did not take advantage of them until 15 seconds left and the clock ticking, C's down 2. Pierce "THE TRUTH" drives right at D. "Superman" Howard and their bodies collide in what looks like an obvious foul on Howard, but NO CALL!! We ended up getting another shot, but with only 1 second left, and it wasn't even close, but I believe that the C's made a great effort to fight back and make this an interesting game. This game also shows us that the C's can beat them at their house and that means a lot since the playoffs are 11 games away and mathematically we are .006% behind them, which is not much. Hopefully the C's can go on a little run and claim that 2 seed; only time will tell.
