i like Stan Van Ron Jeremy - coaching young superstars in the NBA is extremely hard. you can't get them to do anything they don't want to do. There's only one Phil Jackson and even he has to play mind games and coddle players. You want to know when Vince Carter stopped being the next Michael Jordan and became Wince Carter - when Charles Oakley wasn't on his team, Carter was scared shitless of Oakley. There just aren't many grizzled mean veteran players around to hold young players no matter how many highlights they get on Sportscenter accountable.
I heard Tim Legler talking about Howard this morning and he nailed it, he said he'd like for once to see Howard during the pre-game warmups working on his face up game with Patrick Ewing who supposedly is on the Orlando staff for that very reason instead of having to watch Howard in a wife beater showing off his incredible physique.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting.

You got a great break when howard wasn't ejected for the foul on pierce....it works both ways.Exactly
Except the part where Boston plays the Lakers.
I live in Orlando and I'm rooting for the Magic.
Their problem with Boston is scoring and the players that usually rain threes haven't been. They had good enough attempts to score. The ball just didn't go through. They only lost by three points. Jason Williams shot a three, the ball went down, rattled around and came back out. It was as close to making the shot you can get and not. Those three pts. would've tied the game. The attempts were there. the points weren't.
What I find most frustrating is the officiating.
I know it's hard to call as it happens but one bad call can turn the game. The announcers, with the aid of slow motion replay pointed out several bad calls some that went against the Magic. You can easily place as much blame on them as you can on Carter for missing two free throws.
Zuzana has it right. The magic are not playing well enough as a team so get off Vince's back.Comment

I watched the replay and Howard jumps up with his arms out to block and he came down on Pierce with his arms still out. Unless he tucks his arms in against his chest for every landing it's understandable he's going to hit someone. So that initial hit which was probably the hardest was almost inadvertent.
However, when Howard followed through the motion to push Pierce out of the way it became a hard foul and he deserved the T. This time the refs got it right by not having him ejected.
I just hate the way a bad call can have so much influence on the game no matter which side it's on. It's a flaw of the game and it would be hard to name a few other sports where the judging is so critical.
And while I'm at it all those guys flopping need to man up and play like one.Comment

Nba officials probable have the most difficult job of officiating than any other sport, and I think they do a pretty good job, night in and night out. Any way one call doesn't make a series. Can it change one game sure, but I think all the calls even out in the end. I can tell you why boston is going to win in one word, RONDO, he is schooling nelson. That and the fact that Boston is just the better team.Comment

Exactly right.
Yes, the refs were bad last night. Worse for Orlando than Boston.
But Orlando had a better record, "more talent" and were playing at home.
Bad calls shouldn't have even mattered to them. The missed free throws shouldn't even have mattered to them. They should have won, easily.
Except that they weren't able to handle the Celtics' defense.
And it's a little late to wish that Howard had more impact offensively on the blocks. That's never been his game, and obviously he has no desire to work on it.
Your eyes didn't deceive you.
The Celts match up better against Orlando than probably anyone else in the playoffs - and they outplayed them
Almost everyone figured that the big three were done. It looked that way during the season.
The problem with that anaylsis: hardly anyone realized that the Celts aren't the big three anymore.
They're the big four.
