EDIT: I'm first. I'm the real first, losers.

TD Garden, Boston, MA
2:30 PM ET, February 7th, 2010

Broadcast on ABC (that probably means Mark Jackson; I'm so sorry.)

Starting lineups:

Magic




PG Jameer Nelson




SG Vince Carter




SF Matt Barnes




PF Rashard Lewis



C Dwight Howard

Key Bench: White guys and Peaches.(could pass for a country band name?)

Injuries: Pietrus and Nelson are listed as day to day. Any heads up on their status would be appreciated.



For the Celtics:



PG Rajon Rondo



SG Ray Allen



SF Paul Pierce



PF Kevin Garnett



C Kendrick Perkins

Key Bench: Rasheed Wallace, CopperCab, Eddie House, Big Baby

Injuries: Pierce is nursing a foot injury, and he didn't play in their last game against the Nets, but he is expected to play and presumably start. Marquis Daniels is also expected to play(?).


Here's a team leaders thing I copy pasted:

Points D. Howard 17.8 P. Pierce 18.9
Reb D. Howard 13.4 K. Perkins 8.2
Assists J. Nelson 4.7 R. Rondo 9.8
Steals D. Howard 1.1 R. Rondo 2.4
Blocks D. Howard 2.7 K. Perkins 2.0


X Factor of the Game:



It's gotta be Foyle. I figure he's due to go off. When Foyle steps on the court, the opposing defense has to focus primarily on Foyle. This should allow our shooters, especially Bass, to get good perimeter shots. I also feel that Foyle is our best answer to Glen Davis.

Yeah, but the key will be how well Pierce will play because he may be a "gametime decision" but he'll play

Same.

Feel like they could get the best of us.

We'll probably get jumped on early. I'm gonna get real specific with this pick.


27-14 Boston after one.
54-39 Boston at the half.
66-66 tie after three.


...drum roll...


90-86, Orlandoooooooo.



That's my pick, but I think we're gonna lose.

But these games against boston proves we can still have a chance against them...even if we lose by 2 or 5.....Can Cleveland handle them?

Magic lose by 237

First.

A BIG FAT L

First

We lose

Dont feel good about this one...I'm even more worried about the rest of this week...4 games in 5 nights with the last one being the high-flying Cavs and Lebron in Cleveland.

We're gonna have to develop some of that road mojo we had going on last year...
