Magic got magic...with a GENIE!


As a co-writer from before Andy "the turd" Young will now be seen as young_turd.

It's said that the Magic got its name from the Magical Kingdom of Disney (although NBA.com doesn't quote that) but I do think Disney had a hand in this one by lending the team their genie. Although this genie was not played by Robin Williams he did get front row seats and was seated right by the Magic's endzone. So, after rubbing on this old dusty lamp what was Stan Van Gundy's wishes. And remember you can't wish for more wishes. One would think that he could have wish for three wins which would send it to game 7 and we all know how much Zaza loves that. But since this is the first time he has been spotted I don't think any wishes were used in the win from game 4. Therefor I will base his wishes on game 5 only.
1. Jake Sully ejected
With the refs in this game calling it pretty close, yet letting some flagrant go, it allowed for Kendrick Perkins aka Jake Sully to be ejected from the game for getting two technicals. Both of which were completely absurd. The second technical did get rescinded.
2. Big Baby turns into a baby
Big Baby Davis got knocked the fuck out and forgot how to walk. Literally crawling back to the bench after receiving a concussion inducing blow from Howard's gigantic elbow and arms. This sent the baby out for the game and questionable for the next. I am actually impressed we didn't see tears. Later Celtics Daniels also gets TKO'd by putting his head against the chest of Rashard Lewis. This happened right in front of the genie by the way so I don't think it was a wish from Van Gundy.
3. Rasheed Wallace fouls out
Rasheed Wallace was gone like that bald spot in his hair, receiving his sixth foul with four minutes to go in the game. However by this time it really didn't matter since Orlando pretty much had control of the game. It was a wasted wish by Van Gundy and I think a bit selfish just to watch Wallace collect six.

Overall the performance of the Celtics wasn't that impressive but either was the reffing. Rondo picked up a technical for asking about a foul and then a little talking back after getting warned. Garnett only had 5 rebounds to Howard's 10. Howard had an amazing game with 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals. Nelson was also on fire with 24 points and lightning fast speed comparable to Muggsy Bogues. Paul 'most pathetic facial hair in the nba' Pierce did pretty well with 18 points 3 assist and 3 boards. Speaking of hair, 'stick wax' Redick answered back off the bench with 14 points 1 assist and 1 rebound. The Celtics looked about as pathetic as "Return of Jafar."
We shall see if the genie follows them to Boston. I don't believe he had wristbands on which makes him a free genie but Van Gundy is out of wishes. We shall see if Orlando will be able to pull of the first ever 3-0 NBA series comeback.

  1. Although Robbin Williams did resume his vocal duties as Aladdin's Genie in the 3rd Aladdin (the Prince of Thieves or whatever - who cares), it was some other dude in the 2nd Aladdin, The Return of Jafar?

    I don't remember who it was, but it could've been Steve Van Gundy. Or Jeff even.

    young turds gotta grow up some time
