Celtics vs Magic Game 7 5/17/09 - 2009 NBA Playoffs - Jalen Rose analyzes on ESPN

[@Nadrojsleek]

That music that starts at 3:23 is funky and awesome. Reminds me of the old NBA Live games. Nice job Magic. Nice to see some fresh new teams in the semis.

[@SuperWizzle85]

This the ESPN I miss!!

[@TheMW2informer]

Back when sportscenter was actually quite good.

[@greyk610]

Yep

[@Charity78]

So true! KG being out definitely was another factor against the Celtics.

[@akonvict]

Too bad magic beat the cavs or else it would have been an epic Lebron vs Kobe finals. I'm sure that would have ended all the comparison talks after Kobe tax that ass in the finals

[@michaelaaron2415]

Wasn't even a challenge if lebron vs kobe lakers were too much better if it had been the heat vs lakers that would be a series

No kg

They lost because the Magic were better.

[@joshtaylor9884]

@@greyk610 Orlando was the better team when that series took place. The Celtics had injuries. Their depth was tested and they did not pass the test. Maybe if this were 2k and injuries could be turned off, the Celtics would've won. But that's not how it works in real life.

[@cschnei08]

PAAAAATRICK EWING!!! My all time favorite player.

with kevin garnett playing it would be more interesting series

The missing of KG vs Howard, was the Key.

[@eechaze12]

youre were right my man

[@iBeButler]

@RageAgainstMachine45 Ok, so we have one old player. Pretty sure that's a good thing. Dwight's young, Jameer's young, JJ Redick is a great 6th man with a lot of potential still, Ryan Anderson is 22 and still developing his game Rashard Lewis is 31, Q-Rich is 30, and the Magic got a nice sleeper draft pick in Stanley Robinson. I'd say that's some fairly young and prime talent they have. The Celtics average age of their players is 28, the Magic's is 26, with their best player being 24 years old.

[@hoerah]

true that! magic is a good team. Strong 3p shooters, can drive and they have the defensive player of the year too. It's gonna be difficult against the cavs, but they could pull it off. Now for the celtics, they got what they diserved, they're always telling they're so gr8 and stuff... Now they'll calm down ;)

[@GrapeCheckerBoard]

The fact that the Magic didn't have any reliable shooting from the point guard position made that spot a good place to send a double from.

[@vexed334]

NO KG. Just goes to show his greatness

[@Dunkmaster3333]

@datpoint dude, VC is probably their third best 3 point shooter after rashard lewis and mickael pietrus, and he's the best scorer on the team! who else on the magic dropped 48? I didnt' see turkoglu do that when he was with them

[@frostface1]

We all now that without kg they coudnt win but it wasnt just that they lost other key players along the stretch and because they were weak on the benh they couldnt win this series .

[@irishock]

Did we have All-Star PG Jameer Nelson last year?

[@emanueltidwell6560]

I’m gators and magic fan in sports

[@Dunkmaster3333]

@datpoint VC makes waaaay more 3s than hedo did, don't tell me he misses all the time, coz he hardly does...

[@LatinLegacyNY]

Celtics went down! GJ Orlando.

[@MaddenNationNews]

[@galvinized8]

seriously, the celtics were short of the conference finals by 1 game without Garnett. I am a big celtics fan and am proud that they even made it this far. Good luck to the Magic taking on the Cavs.

[@greyk610]

Forreal bro.

[@Jokerz199]

Boston needed KG in this series

[@dondakeee123]

im not gonna make any excuses about the celtics losing or anything but i still wonder how far they wouldve gotten this year if they had kg

[@into_play3226]

Paul Pierce sounded mad salty in his postgame interview

[@colbjay99]

what loss is worse this one or game 6 vs lebron?

[@chrislee3904]

kinda funny they both win a ring in vs rival lakers after 11 years la lakers champ

[@MistaVillain]

Lakers vs Cavs Finals Ring 4 for Kobe End of story Nobody wants it more than Kobe and Lebron

[@pats4lifebb]

17 chips, umadbro?

[@irishock]

Didnt everyone say that last year? And WHAT happened?

[@ClaudiusPtolemy]

well its kinda hard to win without your mvp and defensive player of the year how would the magic do without dwight howard?

[@joshtaylor9884]

The game still goes on. Injuries are a part of it. The Celtics had no solution when their best player went down. That was never gonna cut it against the Magic or the Cavs or the Lakers.

[@FalcoODonnell]

@peterequation Let's hope they do it again this year, too.

[@giancarlogonzalesdelvalle5150]

[@ClaudiusPtolemy]

what kind of question is that of course they would do awful are you trying to prove anything?

[@Dunkmaster3333]

pietrus is such a beast...so is dwight, i miss turkoglu on the magic....but vince carter is definitely an upgrade over him...

[@CaRLShizzle]

dang they beat the Celtics ! wow thats MAGIC !!

[@yanney33]

KG would have led the celts to the end. KG helps not only with points but with his attitude. hes the life of the team.

[@Kartuma]

hedo.

[@thatstress1]

Throw back Tuesday

[@datpoint]

@Dunkmaster3333 but turkoglu was one of they main shooters tho. VC be bull shititn on his 3-pointers

[@Dunkmaster3333]

@datpoint why would he miss shots on purpose, how is he not serioius? why would any player in the NBA be like that, except if they were invloved in matchfixing

[@negativekind]

it's not about being cocky. if you're a lebron james fan please don't talk about "not being cocky".

[@jonasvalero]

true. especially cavs without lebron, the rest of the teams can still do good.

2:24 winner winner chicken dinner??? WTF????

[@aRanDumBhobo]

Of course you don't want a reply. 'Cause you're in denile. Kobe is still in his prime. So long as he got's Phil Jackson and really good teammates, you can't stop him. I fear great players like LeBron and Carmello will end up like Reggie Miller. In the hall of fame with no ring.

[@uptight245]

Lakers & celtics r like metallica and megadeth, the fued isn't between them, its between their fans...! :-)

if kg didnt get injured the celtics wouldve repeat

[@Gradizzl3]

Robert Phillips lost by 4 pts without kp

[@nets4life377]

Robert Phillips they also beat him in 2008

[@dondakeee123]

yup but magic wouldnt have able to beat them celtics if KG was there so why dont you go get a life and stop commenting on everyones comment. Dont get too cocky, i can almost guarantee that the magic will not take it this year

[@GARIFUNA]

Trevor Ariza was the Factor!!! Bynum was foul prone and Traveling.. Howard was double teamed and some times tripled.. Howard has no arsenal in his offense.. So the double team shut him down.

[@lompa1]

they still would have won considering turkalo scored all the points

[@kakompo]

Lakers all day! Winning 2010 ..two in a row.

[@GARIFUNA]

Again, Is Bynum the Key piece in your offense or defense? Where you complaining, If we only had Bynum in the 2008 playoff run.. when you swept through to the finals?or beating celts in reg. season? Bynum is not a factor.. He proved it in the 2009 playoffs and finals!! You see, Im a logical Fan I knew we were not going to win with K.G or without him.. Our bench was not the same... You see Celts became battle tested during the playoffs without are main man. How About LA without Kobe?

[@ChopToTheSuey]

If KG plays that series... Magic lose in 5 or 6. EASILY.

[@kylegross1081]

The celtics wiped them out the following year when healthy

[@crazylegs1324]

@@kylegross1081 yup. In 6. Should’ve been a sweep though.

well the magic deserved this series there was no way the celtics would have won but magic fans do you honestly think you would have won let alone go 7 games if the celtics had kg its hard to win without your mvp

[@TheRatedIX7]

The Celtics came 2 win but it was not to be against The Magic. 19-point blow out on Their own home floor.

[@bashmo]

people dont actually realize how great of a coach stan van gundy is.

[@TheDignam]

He was a great coach, but Shaq said he was the "Master of Panic".

[@iBeButler]

@RageAgainstMachine45 Wait, you're a Celtics fan and you're talking about the Magic getting OLD? Wow, lmao. Notice that we have 2 players that are relatively "old" and the Celtics have about... Everyone except Nate Robinson, Baby, and... Luke Harangody. lol.

[@GARIFUNA]

No..Odom wouldve doubled team Garnett Gasol was getting eaten alive.. Kobe wouldve still been on Pierce.. You had two seven footers Gasol and Odom.. Their was no trouble christmas game for the celts with their starters in the paint.. Their bench was exposed... Bynum and perkins matched up in 08..Perkins won that battle in the regular season.

[@TheRatedIX7]

Well they beat them 4-2 much to ESPN's surprize.

[@galvinized8]

did i even say something upsetting? You seriously have some issues with the ass beating the celtics gave to the lakers because i said nothing about them. I am pretty sure Pierce shut down Bryant for the most part through the finals also, so Garnett is not the only defender. Also, you are saying that Bynum is a comparable loss to Garnett? Just because your team lost doesn't mean you have to get all pissy like a little girl. My team lost and am I making excuses and whining?

[@Dunkmaster3333]

@OrlandoMagic532 now miami do...

[@negativekind]

you must be a Celtic fan. Magic have already dominated them in the reg. season, 2 to 1. this is going to be a good series, but NO WAY are the Cavs going to sweep the Magic. i predict the Magic beating the Cavs. Defense is too strong, way too many shooters, and they can penetrate strong. we'll see what happens tonight. i'll get back at ya.

[@negativekind]

shouldn't you be on a lakers video?? are you lost?

[@Oneofakind407]

If the Magic were better than the Celtics, then they wouldn't have lost to the Celtics last year in the playoffs

[@Oneofakind407]

@OrlandoMagic532 Celtics own the East, and they own the Magic too, just like in 2010 playoffs

[@GARIFUNA]

Now you have Jason Williams. You shouldnt allowed Hedo to leave. To be honest , You play better without Nelson and the back up PG the old man is pretty good. You guys couldve beaten the Lakers in the Finals.. You shouldve never put in nelson.. Your entire chemistry was ruined... Van Gundys Coaching is to blame!

[@ClaudiusPtolemy]

you serious or just fucking with me? the magic would have beaten the celtics if the celtics had kg?

[@boladao10]

ORLANDO is gonna crush the Cavs.. no doubt about it

[@benweiseguitar]

@Lesking360 my thoughts EXACTLY

[@iownyou542]

everyone knows if KG and leon powe wasnt injured then the celtics would have just cruised into the finals

[@Bigtimekillr]

Where are the fucking magic now??they got embarrased in 2010 playoffs...they only won this series because KG was injured...

[@tyakack]

@Charity78 or maybe because they lost KG.....

[@MexicanChamp1000]

Wtf? That comment was a year ago. The magic suck now. ?

[@negativekind]

ya think?! was this the first thing you had to do?? haha

[@bro0wniee]

True, celtics losing this series just proves that without KG they are truly a shitty team.

i knew it, without KG the celtics cant do shit.

[@koldapu]

done!

[@Lach1234]

Sure the Celtics lost, but they made it this far without Garnett and I'm proud of them. :o Congrats to the Magics, I guess all they did was rely on 3's, nothing new. :o Good luck against the Cavs...

[@negativekind]

Magic already run the Cavs 2 to 1, and what? you're a bandwagon fan.

@datpoint lol?

[@enaseinaio8eos]

reasonably champions this year will be the Lakers all they have done that...

PAAAAATRICK EWING!!!!

[@Charity78]

Remember last year, how the Celtics had the best winning streak in the beginning of the season?? Then had it crumble on them mid-season? THEN even at the Playoffs, they BARELY made it to the Conference Finals?? Perhaps because of the lack of tenacity and a bunch of untamed ego!!
