Monday Recap

Orlando 95 Boston 90
Orlando exploded out to a 28 point lead in this game only to watch the Celtics get to within 4 with about a minute to go. Ray Allen had a wide open 3 and it rimmed out. The Magic had 6 guys in double figures, and stayed away from what would have been a terrible loss. The Celtics looked like they just came off of a Game 7. Ray Allen and Rondo combined for 4/24 shooting and the Celtics still barely lost. I know the final score shows Orlando with the win, but I think if I am a Celtics fan, I am OK with this game.

Houston 100 LA Lakers 92
Houston led throughout. Great execution, good shooting, and a crowd around Kobe every time he got inside the 3pt line. Yao is really, really good. He gets doubled almost every time he gets it inside, and the 7'5 giant hits 20 footers in the clutch. The man can play, and this team is very, very good. This will be a long series, thank god T-Mac is not there to ruin this team. The role players for Houston will decide this series, if Brooks, Scola, Battier, and the rest of the guys can play that way throughout, the Lakers could get shocked here. Im not sure any team in the league matches up with the Lakers as good as Houston.
