The Audacity of Hoop...
The Boston Celtics (perhaps pictured) find themselves dazed and confused.
This is getting fun.
The Orlando Magic fought back and have now taken two in a row from Boston.
The C's are halfway to an EPIC collapse.
And this could come RIGHT AFTER the Bruins blew not just a 3-0 series lead, but a 3-0 lead in Game 7.
Man would that be delicious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk about a moment that captures the essence of what's going on...
During Game 5, Dwight Howard throws an accidental (wink, wink) elbow that CLOBBERS Big Baby Davis in the head.
Davis lost a tooth.
He also had a concussion.
He got off the ground and was walking like a drunk participant in a dizzy bat race (is there a dumber in-game promotion?).
Big Baby staggered into the waiting arms of... the ref. Thankfully, he didn't fall face first onto the court.
So there you have it.
Boston trying to deliver the knockout blow gets knocked the HECK out by a game Orlando team.
Stan Van Gundy, the so-called 'Master of Panic,' has his team loose and playing together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still, to complete the gag, the Magic have to win another in Boston.
In my view, you have to get on the C's EARLY.
Get that crowd from pumped to freaked the heck out.
Still, between Kendrick Perkins' ejection and multiple injuries, the Celtics are learning, the longer you let a team hang around, the more problems that can arise.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then there's the Lakers coronation that isn't.
Kobe is just about the only person who brough his game from Los Angeles to Phoenix.
Reason number 10,000 why I hate most sports-talk... I've heard hosts breaking down the Lakers-Celtics series.
These guys were literally talking matchups.
Too soon?
Phoenix showed they are the deeper team in Games 3 and 4.
Now if they could only get their bench players to show up for ONE road game, we could really be in business.
I have to go to Monty Python to describe Phoenix and Orlando... They're not dead.
Is it just a flesh wound?
Game 5 in LA is Thursday night.
Can't wait.
