Pretty much overall Stan Van\u2019s boys are\u00a0just not nearly as good right now and have regressed a little bit when compared to the last few seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Dwight Howard is obviously a superstar and a guy who will dominate inside but with Kendrick Perkins back and with Shaq in Celtic green there are at least some big bodies on the C\u2019s that will bang and use up their allotted fouls if necessary. To be able to get Rondo, Pierce, Allen, Garnett and the rest of Doc\u2019s squad at home and only lay a handful is more than enough for me. It\u2019s not like this Orlando team has exactly rounded into shape after the trades. They did look a little better at\u00a0one point after the sluggish start with Richardson, Turkoglu and others but\u00a0they haven\u2019t been very magical of late after\u00a0dropping three of their last five games.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando has been beating up the bad teams like Washington and Cleveland and Toronto and Indiana but every time they have had to step it up against major competition they have not been able to do so. The final score may have said four the other day but if you watched the game you saw how LeBron and the Heat were the much better\u00a0team and that game was in Orlando. The Magic also just lost at Memphis and at Chicago.\u00a0Something is a little off with this team, whether it be the lack of size or the new pieces not fully fitting or just the team getting a little worse, I don\u2019t fully know. But\u00a0until they play better in a spot like this I am glad to lay a few points with quite possibly the best team in the entire NBA in the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last\u00a0few seasons and the other day at in Los Angeles this Boston squad has been able to raise their game and play big. Today will be another\u00a0example of just that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?PageID=140\">Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Boston Celtics from Matt Rivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information: <\/strong>Things are going very, very well of late and nothing at all changes on Super Sunday, that I can tell you with absolute and complete conviction.\u00a0It was a 3-1\u00a0Saturday including the big 400,000* on the Oregon Ducks winning outright as the eight point dog along with 300,000* UCLA and 200,000* Virginia, very almost outright.<\/p>\n<p>Not one 400,000* today but two 400,000* today! A pair of monster locks with\u00a0Ohio State-Minnesota on the hardwoods and Pittsburgh-Green Bay on the gridiron PLUS five Super Bowl props. I am absolutely smoking hot right now and if that\u2019s not what you want to listen to then there\u2019s nothing else that I can do.
