I said that earlier this offseason and some guys were shocked that I didnt pick the Boston game, but I just remember the feelings after that game...it felt like a burden was lifted off my shoulders...seriously
after that, I have the Boston game
and then the game vs. New Orleans at the Amway! what a ball game! (even though we got chipped...big time!)

I was so happy for Rashard when he made the game winner that finally broke the Magic's losing streak against Detroit, even with the refs trying to screw us on yet another Billups shot...
But how can you beat the game JD said, us beating the Celtics 96 - 93 off of Hedo's 3 in Paul Pierce's face?
Sunday afternoon, national TV on ABC against the Celtics at home, in a game that was nip and tuck the whole way and brought home by Hedo it what's probably his finest moment of last season if you had to pick only one. It definitely had to be one of the loudest home crowds of the season.
A close second favorite of mine is the first time we beat Boston, I think we handed them their first or second loss of the season overall, and Kevin Garnett was healthy for that game so they had no excuses. I just prefer our second win over them because of the national exposure and the last second drama of it, but I think both were our two greatest games of the season. The Detroit game is a close third.
The SG Truth: 1. Mickael Pietrus 2. Courtney Lee 3. Who cares?
well, now you've asked for it...haha...here's my extensive Fave Eight...including playoffs:
1. vs. Toronto (advancing to 2nd Round for the first time in 12 years!) 2. vs. Detroit (Lew GW) 3. vs. Boston (Hedo GW) 4. vs. Boston (their first loss) 5. Gutsy road wins at NO (back to back after BOS) and at GSW (back to back after LAL) 6. at Toronto in Game Four (Meer taking over the game in the Fourth and then our Big Three getting it done in the last 2 minutes...Lew with a 3, Dwight with a block, Turk with a 3 to seal the deal!) 7. Blasting Miami 4 times (including one very, very good game down south...Turk with the dagger) 8. Losses to NO and LAL at The Amway...yeah, they were losses. But those were two incredible ball games.

I think it was the Boston game because if hedo hadn't have hit that shot, we would have lost that game. Second was the Detroit game, but in that game, if Rashard hadn't have hit that shot it would have just gone into OT. That's why I put it second.

Actually we would have gone into overtime during the Boston game as well. It was tied 93-93.
For me though, probably the Detroit one. Finally broke that retched streak!

actually we were down by 7, the shot was so good they gave us extra points
