Orlando Magic @ Boston Celtics

The Celtics are showing in this playoffs what they were unable to show during the regular season. They are playing much better, and after dispatch Lebron and his Cavaliers team, were able to won the 2 first games in the Eastern Final. That is particularly good, because has Doc Rivers says, the Magic's were the team playing better in this playoffs, as it shows their results of 8-0 until this eastern final. However, and as dogs, the Celtics were able to snap not one game, but two, at Orlando.

The Celtics will prepare their game based on what the Magics will have to do. The Celtics are being bombarded by their coach to not forget that nothing is already won, and a 2-0 is nothing against the Magics that can easily bounce back if the Celtics let, and its probably that the Magics could bounce back even if the Celtics try to stop them. Pierce is having great performances, and probably will have today Barnes and not Carter to defend him. The Magics will adjust their defense in Ray Allen and Paul Pierce in order to stop them.

The Magics will have to play better in their offense, as they are at the brink. Carter, Nelson, Lewis, will have to produce much better, and they are able to do so. Howard is making his job, but can't do it alone. He can shutdown Perkins, but still have Garnett to fight to, and he is not able to stop all. With a little help, they will easily control in the paint, and just need to hold the fast break points that the Celtics are making. Their offense, if it could shot just a little better, will make the difference, as that has been the big edge for the Celtics so far, being able to decrease the Magics accuracy.
