According to NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions experts at SBGGLOBAL.com, the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic are projected to score a combined total of 189 points in Game 1's OVER/UNDER.
The Celtics are of course coming off a momentum-building series victory, as they derailed the favorites to win it all this year: the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thus, the Celtics have certainly out themselves in the conversation for championship contenders out of the East. “If you look at them, that's the (same) team,” Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy said. “What would be the difference?”
But before the Celtics can even think about winning another title, they must first get by the hottest team in this year’s Playoffs: the Orlando Magic. “Orlando was the team coming into the season where if you wanted to get out of the East, you had to beat Orlando,” Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. “They're the team that won the East last year, not Cleveland, and I want to make sure our guys focus on that.”
Orlando comes into its second consecutive Conference Finals red-hot, sweeping through its first and second round opponents. “I think for us if we want to win the series, we have to do all the things we did in the first two series,” reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Dwight Howard said. “And if we do that, we should win. We should win this series, but we all have to believe that and we have to understand that it's not going to be easy.”
