Diaz: Orlando Magic Will Win Eastern Conference Finals

Orlando Sentinel columnist George Diaz has come away from the Orlando Magic's last two games convinced that they will become the first NBA team to ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit. He says the Boston Celtics are no longer dictating the series, and that Orlando's adjustments have proven too potent for the Celtics to counter. An excerpt (brackets mine):
Starting with a worthless possession in the last seconds of regulation in Game 4 — when the Celtics could have sent the Magic home in four games — the Celtics have unraveled, piece by piece.
They are no longer stuck on Orlando's perimeter shooters. Notice the space between shooter and defender in Wednesday night's 113-92 victory, when the Magic hit a series-high 13 3-pointers. They are no longer stopping Orlando's smooth transition offense. The Magic are off and running at every miss, facilitating better shots. They are no longer the better bench team, with [Rasheed] Wallace (bad back), [Glen] Davis ( concussion) and Marquis Daniels (concussion) all struggling with physical issues.
Meanwhile, J.J. Redick is having a fabulous series, Brandon Bass is now a factor inside, and Mickael Pietrus is giving [Stan] Van Gundy quality minutes with defense and long-distance shooting.
He might be onto something. Prior to Wednesday's Game 5, John Hollinger of ESPN Insider explained that, no matter how you look at it, at least one team trailing 3-0 should have come back to win the series by now. His odds show that Orlando's chance of becoming the first club to do that stand at 14.5%, which isn't much, but is "still a grand improvement on zero." And John Schuhmann of NBA.com ran through the reasons why Orlando can make history in this post.

Stop Paul Pierce................
Just one name I will throw to the mix..“Paul Pierce” forget about the big three; Pierce will take over this game, the sucess or defeat of the Magic will be depend in how well they can deal with Pierce’s game. If the Magic can stop or slowdown Pierce’s game, definitely there will be a game seven and perhaps a Magic celebration to the finals. But meanwhile please “STOP PAUL PIERCE”.
that is the logical strategy
so the game will be won or lost with rebounding (and Celtics fast break)
and Garnett jumpers
KG hits, Orlando goes golfing
KG misses or overpasses instead of shooting, game 7

To a point
Maybe. But I think the bigger thing is stopping Rondo, Allen and Garnett. Pierce has more or less gotten anything he’s wanted all series, but that’s rarely had much effect on the result. What matters is a) how many points we can score and b) if we can stop the other Celtics from breaking out.

boston is advocating "taking down howard"
I know they are frustrating but this needs to get national attention.
http://www.celticsblog.com/2010/5/28/1491237/borges-time-to-rambis-howard#38516361
The other funny ingredient to all that is they keep saying there is a conspiracy to keep Boston out of the Finals.
Yes, ’cause the NBA prefers a small market team with zero rings to go to the Finals, instead of the most historied team in the league probably meeting their arch-rivals in the championship series for the umpteenth time. How can Celtics fans compare themselves with the Sacramento Kings? At least that conspiracy theory makes some sense since the Kings went down against a LAKERS teams that had KOBE, SHAQ and PHIL JACKSON, while the Kings…. well, you get the idea.

...sad
Truly a travesty what happened and the NBA backed throwing Game 6 100%. I dont believe there was a conspiracy to have the Kings lose, I just dont think the NBA wanted LA to lose at home in Game 6. They probably ultimately figured a Game 7 was good for business and Sac had another shot to win the series anyways. And that my friend, is bullshit.

I think that Kings team didn't know how to close games.
So regardless of what people think about their being a conspiracy, beating LA was not something they were guaranteed to do. Best series I’ve ever experienced as a Kings fan, but there is a line to cross when saying something should or shouldn’t have happened.
The Kings should have beat the Lakers in game 4 too. But they didn’t.

You do realize
that the kings shot more free throws in that series than the Lakers did right? But by all means, don’t let those pesky facts get in the way…
You're not gonna actually defend the Lakers on that one, won't you ?

c'mon
pointing out facts is “defending” a certain side? Don’t you think it is relevant that the Kings actually shot MORE free throws, and by a large margin, than the Lakers? Sometimes fans especially hate something so much that they gloss over facts to get there.
Can't believe fans would actually write that sort of stuff.

Those fans are completely worthless.
They try to dish crap out all the time and when there’s a player on another team who fouls hard, they are in an uproar. I never posted on that blog before (because it’s a wretched hive of scum and villainy), but that article and the ensuing comments warranted it. I should find a video of all the dirty plays KG has made over the past couple years and post that, but that’s too much work.
I really can’t believe they think that elbow on Glen Davis was intentional. How can any human being with a brain larger than a walnut watch that and see an intentional play?

I agree that it's in their best interest to play Howard really hard and use up fouls.
But this crosses a line. The only thing you could have a point on here is the flagrant on Pierce. Other than that, the elbows are clearly unintentional. The KG elbow was just him turning around after getting a rebound. The Davis one was all gravity. Dwight was never even looking at or considering Davis on that play.
Dwight is just a dangerous guy to be around and play physical with. Courtney Lee and Jameer Nelson know this all too well.
Plus, who the hell are you to say that a guy is disingenuous when he expresses concern over a fellow player getting hurt? You don’t know Dwight Howard and you don’t know how he feels about his friends and fellow players. It’s just like people trying to reason out what Lebron’s intentions are this summer. They are thinking how “they” would handle this offseason or trying to get inside Lebron’s head. Only Lebron knows his intentions and all this assuming that goes on in sports journalism is maddening.

Don't mind my spelling. I'm a Typo Master.
Absolutely. Thus further proving the point.
The intensity has to go up, up! Not down...UP! -Stan Van Gundy
I think the KG one was a little more than accidental
I don’t think he deliberately tried to whack him, but he knew he was there and didn’t make any attempt to avoid whacking him in the head.
Flagrant is a touch harsh, but it was definitely a foul.
by eltharion_doa on May 28, 2010 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Any crime can be traced back using motive.
What would Dwight’s motive be to elbow KG in the head after securing a somewhat easy rebound? Nothing good comes of it. He doesn’t hit KG hard enough to “teach him a lesson” or anything. It gives the Celts a possession, and puts him in foul trouble.
There is absolutely no advantage to Dwight’s so called “dirty” play. It only hinders his team’s momentum and emboldens the Celtics.
The intensity has to go up, up! Not down...UP! -Stan Van Gundy

I don’t think it was deliberate. He just didn’t care if he did or didn’t hit him.

I have no statistical evidence to support this, but I firmly believe that these guys need to stop making sensational predictions and just let the teams play. We’ve got our rally caps on, you can look at the previous games and analyze that, but for the love of god, stop saying things like “The Magic will make history!” or “Boston’s lost control of the seriies!” No, Boston has not lost control, they’re the ones still up 3-2.
I hope the Magic team are shutting out any kind of hype like that and are just going to play their game that they’ve been doing the last 2 games.
I love LeBron. No really, I love Jameer.
I, for one, do not buy that IF the Magic win tonight the series is over.
And neither should the Magic coaches/players. It’s not over ‘til it’s really over.

where would you rather be, in the 2009 semis where the Magic just lost Game 5, down 3-2, with little winning momentum, or coming from 3-nil down, then winning 2 straight?
but all this talk of momentum is useless unless the Magic have a brilliant first half. Then they give themselves a chance of winning.

it was a saying. calm down
but actually.. yeah a bit of luck will help the team quite a bit.
who would’ve known Perkins would get an iffy tech that would lead to his suspension? It was a perfect storm of injuries and concussions for Boston last game. Heck I wouldn’t mind a bit more of the same for them.
though i take nothing away from your comments, the team’s gotta play hard
I don't think there's any momentum game to game
Both teams have the opportunity to go back and reset their mentalities.
The thing with being down 3-2 was that we had home court for game 6, so I’d definitely still prefer to be in last season’s shoes.

Supposedly he's a game time decision
But if he’s plays, that’ s borderline reckless on his part and the part of the Celtics. He was out of it after the game, and usually players need at least a couple of days to recover from a concussion.
Nobody should play a day after a serious concussion.

He'll be fine.
You’re talking about a guy who almost went Pro in football. Low-grade concussions are nothing new to him.
The only reason to worry, is when Howard throw his elbows around above his head like he’s a freaking helicopter again. He’s going to seriously injure someone someday…
How else is he supposed to clear space after getting a rebound with people constantly trying to swipe the ball. You'd think people would have learned by now.
After he gets the rebound, get out of the way, stop trying to steal the ball.
How about following the rules.
Ya know it’s not like there’s anything in the rule book that says any shots to the head, intentional or not are automatically a foul and technical.
Oh wait… that’s right, there is:
http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_12.html?nav=ArticleList
EXCEPTION: Rule 12A—Section V—l(5)
l. A player, coach or trainer must be ejected for:
q. Elbow fouls, which make contact above shoulder level, and punching fouls, although recorded as both personal and team fouls, are unsportsmanlike acts. The player will be ejected immediately.
Ummm
That rule just sets out the consequences for elbow, punching and above shoulder fouls, it doesn’t define any contact above the head as a foul.
by eltharion_doa on May 28, 2010 5:16 PM EDT up reply actions
They should really stick to those rules
Karl Malone also did similar things with his monster elbows, one time knocking out David Robinson cold. Players that swing their elbows like that should be ejected and suspended. In public, if you did what Howard typically does, it would be assult and battery and the guy would go to jail.
Really, safety should come first. Accidental is one thing, but when the guy does it on purpose, it should be the harshest of penalties. The only reason magic fans love it, is because it’s coming from one of their guys. Boy, i miss the days when Shaq was young and on the Lakers and he threw elbows around…actually, i don’t. Even though i was a fan of shaq, it is still ridiculous to support something like that.
Half of the NBA over the last two decades alone would have to change career if those rules were applied.
Time to get that finger bling-bling
Don't mind my spelling. I'm a Typo Master.
In football
Repeated low grade concussions are causing extremely serious long term brain injuries. Studies are showing that almost no football players don’t have long term retrograde brain damage from playing with concussions.
If Davis plays and gets another hard hit in the head, he could (unlikely, but possible) die or more probably, have serious long term brain damage. It’s not about how tough he is, it’s about whether one game of basketballis worth ruining your cognition for life. I don’t think it is, and I don’t think the Celtics should allow Davis to take that risk.

Wearing a suit is a little too progressive for me

pure insanity!
This is perhaps the most insane thing that any “facts based guy” like HOllinger has written: " His odds show that Orlando’s chance of becoming the first club to do that stand at 14.5%…"
This makes so little sense as to be funny. It has never happened before in NBA history. How in the world does Hollinger attempt to create a probability for the Magic to do it? This is not even a mathematical possibility. Perhaps he can figure out a “ball park” figure for some team to do it, but no way you can put a figure on Orlando. And even if you could, it is no where close to 14% which is very high.
What some people like Hollinger obviously do not understand is that every event is independent. Just because some team last year couldn’t come back from 0-3 does not increase the odds of the Magic doing it. Not only that, but he obviously is not taking a lot of things into account.
In fact, i may be jumping the gun. This move by Hollinger is so insane that i actually don’t even believe he would do it. I’m just going off of the author of this blog saying that Hollinger said such a thing. I’m willing to bet that it is a mistake and Hollinger didn’t just utter such stupidity.
He could just be talking about the odds of a team coming back from a 2-3 deficit.
Because that’s all the Magic face at this point. We’ve already done what no team has ever done to Boston in playoff history twice now… Come back when they’re up 3-2, and force a 6th game when down 0-3.
Calm down and worry about your own series.
I love LeBron. No really, I love Jameer.

It is the lakers blog, it is interesting to see another perspective of game 5. Man that is a classic. I just hope we pull off the series, then I have new fav magic memories.
I don't care about winning the series....
Yet. We can’t win it tonight. All we can do is win game 6. Let’s do that.
``There’s no need to quit. There’s no need to say that we’re going down fighting because we’re not going down. You just have to think positive and if you think negative you are going to lose. Like I told the guys in the locker room, `If anybody has any doubt, we’re not going to win. But if everybody’s on the same page and believes we’re going to win, then we’re going to win it.’’’ -Dwight Howard

To each his own but . . .
How can you NOT care about winning the series? Won’t you be happy if they do advance?
Isn’t the goal to win a championship?
Just curious . . .
Sigh . . . Now I need new AVATAR!
We have ONE GAME to win
We MUST WIN IT. If we don’t, there isn’t anything else. There’s no series, no Finals, no titles.
Everything after tonight doesn’t exist until we win tonight. That’s what he’s saying.

Game 7, on Sunday [in Orlando], is going to be a first in NBA history, after the Magic win tonight’s Game 6 [in Boston]. The higher seeded [#2] team will be returning to its home court to host Game 7, after trailing at one time in the Conference Finals series 0-3 … if Orlando can win tonight.
It is always a great deal of fun to watch history in the making.

but you have that right as a fan..bianci, diaz...all these guys wrote orlando off and now are scurrying like the rats
they are to be on the bandwagon again. if orlando wins the series then so be it. i just hate when one day the local media is throwing every player under the bus and the next they are making these great proclamations

Bianchi has always been fair weathered, no matter what sport he writes about
It’s nothing new from him.

only thing worse than the columnists are the comments. They're sickening.
Time to get that finger bling-bling
Don't mind my spelling. I'm a Typo Master.
Most papers have comment sections like that.

Man, the 3point shot abandoned the Magic tonight. Tough to win that way.
There was also little of Jameer’s penetration and pass.
At least they never gave up.
