Celtics Fan Shows The Love and Loyalty

Tonight in Boston, as the home team staggered off after a leg-dead first half that created a deeper hole than even the drama boys could overcome, what did Celtics Fan do? Boo. My dears, don't you know that only Philly Fan could do such a thing? Shocking!

As for actual analysis here, the C's aren't going to win games, home or away, when Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen each shoot 2 for 12. I don't see that kind of thing continuing, but it is noteworthy that Kendrick Perkins gave the C's something (6 and 16, with 3 blocks, in 36 non-foul plagued minutes), which is a hell of a lot more than the Magic saw in the Round 1 series against the Sixers. The Magic are now 3-0 against the C's when Kevin Garnett is a spectator, which describes the rest of this series... but I still feel good about my C's in 7 pick.

But before I end on this... what the hell is wrong with the Magic's willingness to piss away huge second half leads? Tonight, they were 28 before crapping the bed with quick misses and turnovers, and needed late Rafer Alston heroics and some awful return turnovers from the C's to ice it. There wasn't even any rampant free throw bricking to explain this; it was just the Magic losing their minds and almost giving away another game. Let's just say the Cavs aren't going to get scared watching the tape on this one.
