Magic coach Stan Van Gundy loves to open his fat trap. He's taken verbal jabs at the Knicks (about Patrick Ewing) and Shaq (called him a flopper) and now is targeting the Celtics:
"I want to know how some teams get on the list, where they get excuses and other teams are not on that list. All I've been hearing about is all the injury problems the Celtics have had this year," Van Gundy said.
He then reminds us that the Magic lost Jameer Nelson for the season. We know. It was a devastating loss for a pretender with zero chance of winning the title.
The difference between the Celtics and Magic (besides one is defending champ and the other is southeast division champ) is that Orlando isn't getting any healthier this season. The Celtics will be getting bodies back - KG, Leon, Tony, Scal.
Hey Stan - I know you are frustrated. You still haven't gotten over the fact that Pat Riley forced you to resign in the middle of the Heat's championship season. And you still live in the shadow of your elfish brother Jeff. And most of all - you know - deep down in your cholesterol infected heart of hearts - that the Magic have no chance of beating the Celtics in a playoff series.
