Game of the day: Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics
By: Nick Parsons

The Celtics set their sites on an unlikely sweep in tonight's Eastern Conference finals. After winning eight straight playoff games, the Magic trail the series 3-0. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series.

To be the best...

The Boston Celtics have beaten the NBA's best regular season teams so far in the playoffs. They knocked off Cleveland with its NBA best 61 regular-season wins and now are on the verge of beating Orlando who had the best record in the game after Jan. 1.

Who's next, the Lakers?

Boston raced out to a 21-6 lead in Saturday's 94-71 win and never looked back.

Blowout city

The Celtics aren?t just winning these games, they?re rolling. Rajon Rondo, who has emerged as the perhaps the best player on team known for their ?Big 3? had 12 assists in Saturday?s blowout. The Magic had just 10 as a team.

And Rondo's hustle and steal in a duel against Orlando's Jason Williams were all the rave on the highlight shows after the game. The Celtics seem to just want it more.

After Boston swept Orlando on the road, Paul Pierce said the series was not going to come back to Florida. While Celtics coach Doc Rivers told his star to hush, Boston seems to be backing up Pierce's boasts.

Boston has not only won all three games, they've covered the spread in everyone easily. All three games have gone under the total.

Break out the brooms

Ray Allen is banking on the sweep. "Monday is do or die for us," he said.

Said Rivers: "They're going to come back in the next game and they're going to give us their best shot. Quite honestly, we're not good enough to let up. I can tell you that. And they're good enough to get it going. And so we have to be very conscious of that."

Superman to the rescue?

Dwight Howard had just seven points and seven rebounds Saturday night.

"They played a lot harder than us tonight," said Howard. "They went after all the loose balls. And they did it from tip-off to the end of the game.

"It seemed like tonight our bodies were here but our minds weren't. Our hearts -- it seemed like we weren't really into it."

Howard concluded: "We can't hold our heads. This is a very tough situation, but if we already think about being defeated, then we shouldn't even come for Game 4. So we got to just keep fighting and stay together."

Injury report

Orlando's Matt Barnes played 15 minutes with a sore back in Saturday's loss. He could have played more but why bother. He'll be probable for tonight's game.

The Celtics are old, but healthy.

Trend-setting

While Orlando has great numbers on the road as of late, remember that they finished the season so well and then won eight straight games to start the playoffs.

Are the numbers skewed for this one?

Here they are:

The Magic are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games.

The underdog is 7-1 in the last eight games in this series.

The Magic are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games.

The C's have covered the spread in six straight and are 7-1 ATS against teams with a winning record. On the downside, Boston is 9-21-1 ATS after winning a game by more than 10 points.

Game 4, Orlando at Boston
By Brian Edwards

If you weren’t playing close attention to Saturday night’s Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, you might’ve mistaken the Orlando Magic for the Atlanta Hawks. In other words, like Mike Woodson’s (former) team in the East semifinals against the Magic, Orlando brought no fight, no intensity, no heart and no competitive fire to a must-win game against the Celtics.

The result was a 94-71 shellacking that was nowhere near as close as the final score indicated. Other results could follow. Translation: Like Woodson, Stan Van Gundy is now on a boiling hot seat and that might also apply to General Manager Otis Smith. To his credit, SVG stepped up at the post-game press conference, pointing all of the blame at himself for his club’s atrocious performance.

Dwight Howard should thank his head coach for taking the bullet of blame. He went 3-for-10 from the field and 1-of-4 at the charity stripe, finishing with only seven points and seven rebounds in 39-plus minutes of playing time. His plus-minus rating was a team-worst -29.

Rashard Lewis should also thank Van Gundy for taking one for the team (or him). Talk about non-existent in a series! Lewis, who owns a $118 million contract, has been a complete no-show. In Game 3, he had just as many points (four) as he had turnovers.

But that’s enough about the Magic. At this point, it’s time to offer props galore to the Celtics.

Boston (61-35 straight up, 44-50- against the spread) now has a shocking and commanding 3-0 series lead and will attempt to deal out broom treatment at home Monday night. Most betting shops have installed the Celtics as seven-point favorites to do just that in Monday’s Game 4.

The total was 188 as of late Sunday afternoon. Bettors can take Orlando (67-26 SU, 53-38-2 ATS) to win outright for a plus-280 payout (risk $100 to win $280).

Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis came off the bench to score a game-high 17 points in Game 3, while Rajon Rondo finished with 11 points, 12 assists and four steals. Paul Pierce added 15 points and nine rebounds, while Ray Allen had 14 points, six assists and six boards.

The C’s raced out to a 27-12 lead at the end of the first quarter and the Magic never threatened to make it a game the rest of the way. By halftime, you knew the game and the series was over. Orlando’s body language said it all, as the team looked bloodied and beaten.

Now Van Gundy’s bunch is looking at its most generous underdog spot of the season. The Magic have been a six-point underdog three times this year, going 1-1-1 ATS in games at Boston, at the Lakers and at Cleveland. They won 83-78 at Boston way back on Nov. 20, lost 98-92 to L.A. on Jan. 18 and lost 115-106 to the Cavs on Feb. 11.

Doc Rivers’s squad has now won six in a row both SU and ATS since losing Game 3 at home to the Cavs in the East semifinals.

The ‘under’ has cashed in five consecutive Orlando games. The ‘under’ is 55-36-2 overall for Orlando, 30-16 in its road assignments. Meanwhile, the Celtics have watched the ‘under’ go 48-47-1 overall, but the ‘over’ is 24-23-1 in their home games.

Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

Rashard Lewis had six points in Game 1, five in Game 2 and four in Game 3. His shooting performances from the field have looked like this: 2-for-10, 2-for-6 and 2-for-8. By my math, that’s 6-for-24 from the field for a pathetic 25-percent clip. Lewis averaged 14.1 points per game and shot 43.5-percent from the floor during the regular season. Obviously, that’s not the postseason production you want out of a player whose contract is for more than $100 million.

Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel issued Sweep Dreams to the Magic’s season after the Game 3 debacle.

Ira Winderman, who is the Miami Heat’s long-time beat writer for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, thinks Udonis Haslem might be that toughness piece the Magic could use next season.

Team Line Action - Where the money is going!
Oddsmakers move a line in part because of one-sided public betting action on a side or total. They also move the line in reaction to wise guys selections. Either way, this section attempts to uncover whether the wise guys and public have a read on a given team. It summarizes both line and total movements. As a general rule, follow the line or total movement when percentages exceed 57% and go against it when they are below 43%.

PICKS 'N' ROLL

Monday's Best NBA Bet

Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics (-7, 188)

A picture is worth a thousand words, and one play from Game 3 tells the whole story of this series.

As Orlando's Jason Williams casually jogged down court for a loose ball, Boston's Rajon Rando made a Pete Rose-dive on the parkay floor, scooped up the ball and scored a layup on a befuddled Williams.

Not to make too much out of one play, but if an alien spaceship abducts you and demands to know the secret to how the Celtics have so thoroughly trounced the Magic, skip the anal probe and show them that clip.

"It was a great play just to be a part of," Boston's Paul Pierce said. "Me and my friends were talking about that play. You're going to see them replaying that hustle play throughout all the NBA commercials, I think, for the next 20, 25, 30 years. That's how great that play was."

OK, so it may not replace Michael Jordan's facial of Craig Ehlo or an injured Willis Reed's grand entrance into Madison Square Garden, but it does tell the tale of the Magic-Celtics series.

"They’re beating us in every category in terms of hustle things," Orlando's Jameer Nelson concurred. "I can't put my finger on it, but it's more than just one thing."
The two most-telling "hustle things" are steals and turnovers, with the Celtics leading those categories by 27-20 and 49-37 margins, respectively.

Those are the X-factors the Magic have lacked all series and there's no reason to believe they will magically appear tonight. The Celtics have them in the perfect pose and it won't be a pretty picture.

Pick: Boston Celtics

Hondo

Hondo did a bad split yesterday, hitting with the Blue Jays in the afternoon but missing with the Yanks in the soiree to raise the IOUs slightly to an even-steven 600 parnells.

Tonight, he'll go with the TBs, who tend to give the Sawx the heebie jeebies -- 10 units on Davis over Buchholz.
