FINALLY, Some Good Games

Orlando set some double staggered screens so Jameer Nelson could get around the corner and the Magic avoided the sweep. What adjustments will the Celtics make in Game 5? The Leprechauns looked their age at the end of game 4 and Rondo came out flat for the most part. Can the Magic keep up their energy and get a game out of Vince Carter in Game 5. It would help their cause. The Celtics rotations were slow and with the staggered screens, Howard had a ton of easy scores. The Chess game begins, with Stan V making the first move.

Phil Jackson got really out coached in the 4th quarter of game 4. The Phoenix zone made a slight adjustment and it was enough. Phoenix got a superb effort from their bench. Having seen various Phoenix teams play about 200 times in LA, I do not believe the trend continues at the Staples Center. It will be interesting to see what adjustments the Zen Master will make. The Lakers usually get pushed to 6 or 7 games most series. I don't see a jump shooting team beating them. Still they looked slow on the rotations on defense and that has to be a concern. it will be very intriguing to see what moves are made tonight and tomorrow.
