I never thought I'd say this, but

I think it's about time. He was one of the best college players of all time, he is such a smart player and such a great shooter that I think he is Magic's joker.

**doctorlw** · 05-28-10, 12:51 PM

I agree. I always made fun of JJ in college, and thought he wouldn't succeed in the NBA (as has been the case). But he has looked pretty good in this series... just like in college he is reliable whenever he has an open look. He is definitely a good piece to have.

**KiDBaZkiT** · 05-28-10, 04:51 PM

JJ has been doping it all year, Van Gundy just didnt give him quality minutes this post season til now.

**tealish** · 05-28-10, 04:55 PM

JJ is servicable, but Magic isn't beating Boston tonight/in gm 7 without Vince. It's not happening either way, IMO, but for argument's sake Orlando's best shot at completing the comeback is for VC to pull out a huge game, which he is def capable of.

**youngerthree** · 05-28-10, 05:00 PM

Van Gundy needs to continue to run plays so he has open looks

**SRBI** · 05-28-10, 05:01 PM

I agree. JJ has picked his game up ten-fold and as sad as this is for me to say, Celtics are havin trouble finding an answer for him. I will say this though, he won't be shooting nowhere near that percentage in Boston tonight.
Doc is gonna find a way to lock him down.

Vince didnt show for either game 4 or game 5... I agree that if VC is rolling, it's going to be REALLY tough on the Celtics, but with Howard/Nelson/Reddick all playing exceptionally well and Lewis much improved, they can still win without a big night from VC

**SparJMU** · 05-28-10, 05:33 PM

How is anyone still talking about Vince Carter? The day they traded for him I called it a phenomenal mistake, and he has proven me right all year. The Magic's success has been from Nelson, Howard, Reddick, and the overall performance supporting cast

Vince Carter has never been a championship caliber basketball player and he never will be. The Magic are worse off with him on their team. Bring back Turkoglu and Courtney Lee.

I'm actually impressed with J.J. Redick's game, and think he presents a major problem for Boston.

He's been +14 and +18 in Orlando's last two wins.

Yes he is Coin,, and the only way I see Boston defending this Fukk is by giving him a concussion....................

W · 05-28-10, 05:53 PM

Celtics -1.5 first half

**jjgold** · 05-28-10, 05:54 PM

JJ just has not been given a chance to play decent minutes

He was never a bad player

**Rixsaw** · 05-28-10, 06:08 PM

The poor kid has been trying hard to prove that he can play and should be given more playing time. Magics won't give him his fair share and they won't trade him. He is bailing Van Gundy out and Van Gundy won't even admit on local radio interview.

**mikemca** · 05-28-10, 06:08 PM

He has played well whenever he got minutes when Jameer Nelson was hurt

IMO, not in these last 2 games. Game 4 and 5 aren't the same as 6 and 7. Boston brings it tonight. Vince better do the same or it's quickly over.

how long have you followed college hoops? 10 yrs?

he was a great acc player, and a very good player nationally, but one of the best ever? not even close. ignorant statement.

**PAULYPOKER** · 05-28-10, 06:18 PM

What is stabbing the knife in Bostons back and twisting it,, is Redick's ability to get off quick 3's without even having to set up the shot,, with pin point deadly accuracy!! if Boston finds an answer for this they should be able to take this one down tonight but I don't see them doing it legally so I say Knock the fukk out cold,, like the Magic did to baby and no name...........................

**bradleysnyder** · 05-28-10, 06:24 PM

i hope orlando wins tonight.i hate the celtics

Orlando will pull it out

**Ralphie1412** · 05-28-10, 08:24 PM

why did u think u would never say this? Kid had one of the smoothest strokes in ACC history. If not the smoothest. Not to mention he learned under coach K. He plays smart.

**Brock Landers** · 05-28-10, 08:29 PM

he's a fukkin joke at the NBA Level

yet he is scoring against arguably the best team and the best defense. Reddick definitely pulled his weight.

what have u been watching? Hes been the most productive guy on their bench. Hes not supposed to be a superstar. Great role player.

That's what I'm saying. He's worked hard and is now a great role player. The dude was straight junk out of college; not all collegiate stars are automatically NBA material.

**tatommack** · 05-29-10, 01:00 AM

He is not the player he was in NCAA
