Match preview: Boston Celtics - Orlando Magic 2010-05-23 (NBA)

No time to let down

Who would`ve thought that the Celtics will have the 2-0 lead after the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals. Boston has been the underdog in the Conference semifinals against Cleveland and has found itself in the same role once again. The Celtics are now proving everyone wrong and have been playing really well as of late, winning five straight games. The key to their success has been their defense. They`ve held the Magic to a 40.5% shooting from the floor in the first two games. bet now

Time to do some Magic

Orlando has been flying high after the first two playoff rounds and many have thought the Magic are the favorite to win it all, but they`ve stumbled against a formidable opponent. It seems they just can`t get it going on the offense. One of the best three-point shooting teams in the league shot just 5-for-22 from the three-point line in Game 1 and although they`ve shot much better in Game 2 that just wasn`t enough to get a win against the Celtics. In Game 2, the Magic shot 7-for-18 for three, but were held to just 39.4% shooting from the field. online betting

Should be a defensive battle

Both teams know that the team that will win the defensive battle will win the series. With the Defensive player of the year - Dwight Howard under the basket, the Magic played good defense throughout the playoffs, but their opponents were not even near the level the Celtics are playing on right now. The Celtics have been solid on defensive end as well. They are playing tough, physical defense and are one of the best teams in the league in that category. They`ve been especially good at home, allowing just 89.2 points per game during the playoffs and that is counting a 95-124 blow-out loss against the Cavaliers. The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Orlando`s last 10 games when playing Boston. bet online
