00:00
The Orlando Magic will head to Boston on Sunday for game number one against the Celtics.
00:06
It will probably be a you-lose situation, but Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulli, you know,
00:11
he's not going to look at it that way, Scotty. He says the Magic, they're going to present a lot
00:17
of problems for us in this series. I mean, it's the playoffs, so I would imagine that everyone's
00:21
going to, you know, play us tough, and it's our job to, you know, play them just as tough. So,
00:26
I expect it to be a very tough physical series. Like I said, they're very well coached,
00:30
and they have a lot of versatility, and they got a lot of talent. So, I expect from here on out,
00:35
every game is going to be a fight. Yeah, I think that in Portuguese means Celtics by 20 on Sunday.
00:43
Well, a lot of people have tried to make a big deal out of the fact that the Magic have actually
00:50
been, I guess, better than most against the Celtics the last couple years. They beat them
00:57
two out of three this year in the regular season. I don't think you could take anything the Celtics
01:01
did in the regular season this year very seriously. I don't think they cared very much at all in the
01:07
regular season. So, I don't think, honestly, that this series has much juice to it. Could they get a
01:16
game? Maybe. Gentleman's sweep? Possibly. Five games? Something like that. But I can't see it,
01:23
honestly, going any further than that. It's some big lumber on Sunday. 13 and a half for game number
01:29
one. 205 and a half the total. Yeah, I just, I know what's going to happen in these games is
01:37
the Celtics are going to hit 33s and they're going to beat everyone's ass. That's it. There's nothing
01:46
else to say. And what's even worse is I can't stand them. So, like, you know, honestly, that game's at
01:54
330. I'm on the Stanley Cup playoffs and the RBC at Harbortown. I'm not going to sit and suffer
02:02
through watching them hit 30, 43s in a game. I hate them to begin with. I don't even want to
02:08
watch their games. In fact, I hope the Magic win every single game they play. But that's not
02:15
happening. Yeah, you do have some alternate options at the same time Sunday. You got game one,
02:20
Devils Carolina's at the same time, three o'clock Sunday afternoon. And like you said, you'll have
02:26
the leaders on the final round Sunday at the RBC. So, you'll have all of that as well at your
02:35
disposal. Of course, there's four games on Sunday. That is the middle game or one of the middle games.
02:42
So, Sunday's going to be the Thunder against that Grizzly Maverick winner at one o'clock East.
02:47
The Celtics will be at 330. The Cavs against the Heat Hawk winner will be at seven East.
02:53
Oh, I see why. I'm not seeing those yet because those games haven't been decided tonight.
02:59
Correct. So, you will get that. That's why there is four games on Sunday. We just don't know the
03:04
opponents in two of them yet.
