Celtics take 3-2 lead over Orlando

I did not have high expectations for the Celtics after they were down 2-1 against a good Magic team, but surprisingly they came back and won a couple of close games to take the lead in the series. Unfortunately I haven't been able to see or listen to the games, but I do follow the news reports with interest. The Cavs had no trouble dispatching Atlanta and still have not lost a game yet during these playoffs. A Cleveland-Boston series in the Eastern Conference finals should be a good one. Of course, Boston still needs to win one more game against Orlando. In the west, the Lakers absolutely crushed the Rockets last night, 118-78. That's got to be embarrassing for Houston. A 40-point loss? The only encouraging thing for them at this point is that game 6 will be played in Houston, so if they can win that one they'll have another shot at beating the Lakers in LA. Whoever wins that series will likely come up against Denver in the conference finals.
