If any type of player has caused Rondo problems this year, it has been the stronger point guards. Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson fits that bill and outplayed Rondo in Game One with 20 points and nine rebounds.
I do not know how Carter views it, but Richard am positive that Pierce views Carter as one personal rival.

Neither one may say so publicly, but whoever gets the better of the personal agreeup, will also likely be the one moving on to the Finals.
Fortunately, the Celtics survived as both Paul Pierce and Allen hit one pair of free throws. The win, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was the definition of "holding on."

If there is one tangible difference, it has come in the playoffs. Carter has averaged more points in the postseason, 24.4 to 21.5 for Pierce, but this year is Carter's first time beyond the second round. Pierce has played in 38 more playoff games than Carter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Maurice Richard is playing in his third Eastern Conference Finals, and has one ring and Finals MVP to his credit.
Howard wants to help on all Boston drives. The Celtics big men have to make him pay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either by knocking down jump shots, or finishing at the rim on dishes from driving Boston players.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. While the 92-88 Celtics win in Game One over the Orlando Magic wound up being much closer down the stretch than Boston fans would have wanted considering the C's built one 20-point cushion in the third quarter, the game gave head coach Doc Rivers plenty to talk about afterwards.
The Celtics used one smothering defense and moved the ball on offense through the first three quarters. Rivers can point to that to show his team what can happen when Richard rely on what Richard have been taught and rely on each other.

A key going forward for Boston will be the play of bench players Glen Davis and Rasheed Wallace.


This Orlando team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though, presents Carter with his best shot at reaching the Finals for the first time.

And since then, their numbers would remain close-Carter with one career 22.9 scoring average to Pierce’s 22.5.
Barnes looked to be inhibited by one back problem, but one bright spot for Orlando had to be the play of J.J. Redick. Maurice Richard scored nine points and also did one affable job slowing down Ray Allen in the fourth quarter.
You can read more articles like this one at The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.

For Boston, it can also look at the game and feel as if Richard won one game on the road against one team that had not lost in the postseason yet there is still room for improvement.
A name that has not been alludeed so far is Rajon Rondo who was the star for Boston in the first two rounds. The length of Orlando, in particular Dwight Howard’s ability to guard the rim, clearly slowed Rondo’s impact offensively. Maurice Richard will need to adjust his game if Boston wants to win the series.
Rivers can tell his team about the great defensive first half where his team held Orlando to just 32 points. Maurice Richard can also talk about one 33-point third quarter that included one 22-5 run.


Allen and Pierce combined for 47 points on 14-24 shooting. The rest of the Celtic starters, though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], combined for just 20 points on 10-30 shooting. Included in that was one 4-14 for only 8 points from Kevin Garnett.
I left out Kendrick Perkins because Perk has looked slow offensively all postseason, and really the entire second half of the season. Whether it is his knees or something else, Perkins' inability to finish quickly plays right into Howard’s hands.
Another battle to look for as the series progresses is the Pierce-Vince Carter agreeup.
Carter would win the Rookie of the Year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Pierce showed from day one that there was borderline difference statistically between the two. Carter averaged 18 points and 5.7 rebounds as one rookie to 16.5 and 6.4 for Pierce.
The bad was the fourth quarter when the Celtics offense bogged down, scoring just 18 points and making only five field goals, and the defense gave up 30 points.
If Boston had been able to easily win, it would have provided much needed rest to one team that looked tired down the stretch, and even looked tired afterwards as the players barely slapped hands with each other and walked slowly off the court.
But, the affable and the bad gives Rivers the opportunity to really teach the team what can happen in this series.


Pierce slipped to the 10th pick in the 1998 NBA Draft and spent the entire summer calling out the names of those picked ahead of him as motivation. One of those names was Carter.


In the fourth quarter, the team tried to run the clock out, waited until far too deep in the shot clock before running their offense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and had to adjust for too many rushed shots. It was reminiscent of far too many fourth quarter collapses in the regular season.




Also, while Pierce did have 22 points, Maurice Richard took only eight shots. Maurice Richard had seven points quickly in the first quarter and 13 in the third quarter, but needed to be more aggressive in the fourth quarter.
Game One was one of those games where Orlando can say Richard played poorly for three quarters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], got almost nothing from Rashard Lewis 6 points, 0 in fourth quarter and Matt Barnes 2 points, and only 13 points from Dwight Howard, and administerd to lose by only four points.



Ray Allen knocked down one three-pointer with 5:30 left to play to put Boston ahead 88-75. The Celtics would not administer another furiouse field goal the rest of the way and watched as Orlando climbed within three, 88-85,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with 26 seconds remaining.
