Who is gonna gaurd Rashard Lewis?

[Chi_archie]

big baby???

some major match up problems on the court tonight....

Lewis presents match up problems for most PF's with his deep range, even a great defender like Garnett had his troubles with him

and when Perkins gets his typical 2 quick fouls, who is gaurding Howard?

it could get ugly

[onthewhat]

what is the series price?

we like magic

[Chi_archie]

I got magic at +115

I think its even at -110 for either team right now...

courtney Lee might not make it back for this series though, so Skip to my Lou is gonna have to go head to head with Rondo.... I dno't like that match up

[pavyracer]

Scalabrine will "guard" Lewis. That is if he can stay on court for 5 min before fouling out.

[Chi_archie]

Lewis is one of the toughest matchups in the league... the celts actually did a pretty good job on Dwight Howard this year using Perkins, but with Lewis's quickness and deep range, I think Big Baby is in way way over his head. Scalabrine actually might do okay, despite giving up alot of quickness. He is usually pretty smart on D and knows how to not give up the baseline and funnel his man in toward's help defense

[pavyracer]

I don't know Archie about Scalabrine. Guy got blocked from behind by a guy 1 foot shorter than him on a dunk. If he guards Lewis then Hedo Turkoglu will be scoring 50 points a night. The Celtics can't guard Lewis, Turkoglu, Howard all at the same time. Especially with Baby Davis and Scalabrine in the line up. They are too slow.

[Chi_archie]

on the flip side, the celts gaurds have a big advantage on the offensive side vs Orlando's lackluster defense, especially without Courtney Lee.

I'm counting on Paul and Ray to have some weary legs after playing almost 8 full games worth of close, intense, physical basketball vs a younger bulls team....

Orlando should steal home court advantage by winning tonight.... if they don't then it will be tough to comeback

[csimmalavong]

perhaps pierce ? lol

Who is going to guard Rashard Lewis? Is this some kind of ****ing joke? Lewis has no skills besides spotting up for a wide-open 3. If R Lewis is the Celtics biggest concern, I have a feeling they will be just fine.

[Madetowin]

not a major fan of Rashard Lewis he is off and on .

100% Spot on

Silly question Chi, lot's of guys from Boston can guard Lewis.

[Chi_archie]

You guys don't watch enough NBA. Lewis vs Davis and Rondo vs Alston are the key match ups in this series

[Tsoprano]

Archie, i've watched 94% of the Celtic games this year

NBA League Pass daht com

I know that T, we are talking about the Magic games here... because you don't seem to know their personel or how good Lewis is.

but since you know the Celts I'll ask you another question about them

after kendrick get's his 2 quick fouls who are the tallest guys that are gonna be gaurding Howard and Lewis???

[5 star bomb]

Celtics will win this series

Of course if Perkins picks up 2 quick fouls Boston is in big trouble, but what if Howard picks up 2 quick fouls? Then the magic are finished.

It goes both ways

[pavyracer]

Here is the biggest problem of Celtics: Lack of Speed

If Magic play an up tempo with Howard, Lewis, Turkoglu, Alston and Lee running up and down Celtics can't match up with Perkins, Davis, Pierce, Rondo, Allen. The Celtics front court is extremely slow. And the only backup to Perkins and Davis who are slow like a tractor is Scalabrine who is slower than a lawn mower.

[Tsoprano]

Good defense from Boston will make sure it is not an up tempo game.

[Tsoprano]

Courtney Lee is not playing

[Chi_archie]

aren't the celts like 21-20 against the spread at home?

[tullamore]

Magic offense is throw the ball into Howard and 3 pt shooting. Lewis is a fine player but he cant create his own shot.

Exactly, the Magic live on open shots by spreading the floor, once they meet good defense...they are...drumroll please....FINISHED!

With Dwight or without

[pavyracer]

Courtney Lee is not playing

He is only missing 2 games.

[Chi_archie]

coach said if Lee sees anytime in this series at all it would be a "bonus" they aren't really expecting him back

[Tsoprano]

He is only missing 2 games.

Only 2 games? That's most of the fukkin series. First 2 games are crucial, and if he does come back I like Boston even more as they need to readjust to him being in the lineup.

Bingo, he won't be a factor.

Pavy, find out who the fukk is even playing before you make an analysis on the series.

This is what I read:

Guard Courtney Lee is recovering from surgery on a fractured sinus that he injured in Game 5 against the 76ers. He has been cleared to play with a protective mask, but he is expected to miss at least the first two games of the Celtics series. J.J. Redick is expected to start in his place.

[blackbart]

real question
who guards ray allen?
reddick no way

[j0hnnyv]

didnt magic beat the celtics last 2 times they played?? 1 of them being at home??

[Chi_archie]

they need to decide who is gonna stop lewis soon...

[pavyracer]

I don't know Archie about Scalabrine. Guy got blocked from behind by a guy 1 foot shorter than him on a dunk. If he guards Lewis then Hedo Turkoglu will be scoring 50 points a night.
