I think the Celtics will win but I hope i'm wrong. The Magic have been playing like complete crap lately. But if they can get JRich, Hedo, and Arenas involved more, they can totally win.

Not sure what they are doing with Arenas off the bunch. Much better than Nelson IMO.

 

[DJT]

I think they are going with the Mavs approach with Terry. Gives them that spark off the bench that can provide a lot of energy and scoring.

 

[RipCity32]

Well that can be the case for half the players in the NBA lol.
Arenas is a much better player than Terry though and deserves to start.

 

[DJT]

I could see him starting in place of JRich sooner or later, but not over Nelson. But who knows.

Can Orlando pull it together by Christmas day? I caught some of the game last night & they looked like a bunch of guys who were just thrown onto the court. I foresee more playing around with the lineup until they find something that works. I'd also agree with Rip, Jameer should be coming off the bench. Arenas looked like he's got some game back during his final stretch with the Wiz.

Magic also need to upgrade their center. Went from one of the best to an unproven guy. Boston has too much big man depth...Dwight can't be on the court all game long. Celtics bench is going to kill this.

The Celtics probably have this win. Especially after the big trade for Orlando. The players might not be too comfortable on the court with each other.
