Game 3 is two hours away and I'm stoked. If it feels like they haven't played a game in this series in months, it's because they haven't. Christ what a pointlessly long break. Let's hope it doesn't have much effect on the Celtics. I've never been much of a believer in "momentum" carrying over from one game to the next in sports. It doesn't matter what you did in your last game, only what you do tonight. What's so great about the Celtics is that they know that and have brought it every night in the playoffs.
Quick thoughts on tonight's game:
The most intriguing thing to me is what will Orlando try to do differently? It seems like they've been trying to run their offense through posting Dwight Howard and it hasn't been effective at all. What will Ron Jeremy do to change things up? Will he stubbornly stick with the same gameplan and go down with the ship? The Celtics can bring out the brooms if they win tonight, so you have to figure they'll get Orlando's best game. I find it hard to believe Rashard Lewis can play this badly for a whole series, so it's time for him to man up tonight. It feels like Orlando will keep it close tonight, but the great thing about sports is you never know.

I think momentum actually plays a huge role. For example, when players split sets in tennis the player who won the second set has the confidence (momentum) going into the tiebreaker. You see this all the time in the pros- the more experienced player will concede the first set then turn it on in the second and take the tie breaker.
ReplyDeleteAloy, I know you play tennis, but is that anonymous kid serious? Did he really just bring tennis into this? Lets think on the level of TEAM *SPORTS*. Yea, I emphasize "team" and "sports" on that.
ReplyDeleteBut, more importantly, I'm pissed. The Celtics are playing well enough to force me to write about them and the NBA on my own blog! Fuckin KG
