If Rafer takes less than 7 shots, and if Lewis takes at least 75% of his shots from inside the 3-point line, I'll predict a Magic win.

I think the first five minutes will us who will win this game. Boston is going to come out swinging early, and the Magic better hit the boards hard and play like they want the series more.

Like Vinnie I'm not very confident about our chances tonight. This is going to be another close game. Go Magic!

Is it me or does EVERYTHING go Boston's way during close games? I know they've lost some close games against the Bulls, but the Celtics hit so many big shots during crunch time that it's starting to remind me of the Bulls during the 90s and the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq. Can't stand it.

17 of 23 points came from the line for Boston in the 3rd in game 4...So to answer your question.....yes.

BIG BOUNCE-BACK GAME TONIGHT
People who know me know that I’m always about keeping guys loose, so I’ve been trying to get our guys spirits back up after that loss the other night. We know it was just one game and what position we’re in now. We just have to go play and get a win. Then, nobody will be thinking about that Big Baby shot.

It’s just about us bouncing back now and getting not one, but two wins and getting this series. We know we’re a good team and we’re not going to be killed by one shot.

Big Baby hit a tough shot. If he would have held the ball one more second or missed it, we’d be up 3-1. But it happened to go in. It just wasn’t to be for us, so we move on now.

We were a little bit upset about the way the Celtics celebrated after the game. You win you don’t have to talk trash. Everybody plays basketball and the better team will win and there’s no need for the trash talking. My approach has always been about being humble. When you make a big shot, that’s what you are supposed to do, so act like you expected it.

Some people up here in Boston are talking about Bib Baby bumping into that kid after the shot. I don’t think he m eant to hit the kid. He was just excited about hitting a big shot. He wasn’t trying to hurt anybody and Big Baby isn’t a mean guy. He was so excited, so he probably didn’t even see the kid.

Boston will be emotional tonight and it will be about us weathering that storm. We’re a good team and we bounce back well. It’s just about being consistent with our effort. We’ll be ready for whatever they throw at us.

Can't believe that JJ is starting, but hopefully he takes advantage because this has to be his last shot.

I'm ready for this game to get started. I have full confidence in a win tonight. This is a game that I would be shocked if we lose. I think we'll jump on them early and hold a 12-16 point lead for most of the game. I haven't been this confident in a Magic victory since the last regular season game against Cleveland.

Good way to end the quarter. I'm kinda sick and tired of watching Alston shooting 3's and missing layups.
