So tonight I’m headed to see the Magic take on the Boston Celtics. You could say that I’m excited but that would be an understatement. This is one heck of a marquee matchup. The Celtics are the defending champion, and the Magic currently have the best record in the league. Both teams are fighting for the top seed in the Eastern conference as well as the NBA. Along with that comes home court advantage. Tonight should be a great game as both teams come in with win streaks intact. The Magic have won 7 straight, and the Celtics have won 6 straight.
The Magic are a team that prides themselves on good defense and a relentless attack on offense that typically leaves the other team picking their poison. They either get dominated down low by Dwight Howard, or killed by a barrage of 3 point shots from the best 3 point shooting corps in the league.
Boston comes in as a team that can score the ball pretty well, but prides themselves mostly as having a dominant defense. Led by perennial All Star Kevin Garnet manning the paint, the Celtics will be the best defense Orlando has seen by far. Without a doubt the Celtics will hope that Garnet has enough man power to slow Dwight Howard by himself, and then rely on the rest of their crew to hound Orlando’s 3 point marksmen.
Tonight should prove an Epic battle the likes of Vampire’s vs. Lycans. Power against power, skill against skill, great team vs. great team. Something has to break. I just hope it’s not the Magic.
