Coming into game one of the Eastern Conference finals, it seemed that no team had an answer for the Orlando Magic. Before today, they were undefeated in the first two series. However, the Boston Celtics snapped their win streak today with a a four point victory (92-88). The relentless defense by the Celtics was the deciding factor in this game, with the Celtics holding the Magic to a pathetic 32 points in the first half. Another critical factor in the game was the incapability of the Magic's "Superman"(D.Howard) to put up any big numbers. The success of the Magic depends heavily on Howard to provide rebounds and score points. Today he had 12 rebounds and 13 points, which is no where close to his usual numbers. The Celtics seem to being playing the best they have all year. The team that stunned LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to have all the players and mentalities to upset the Magic in this series. My prediction is that we will see the Celtics and Lakers face off in the finals, go Lakers!
