Now that the Celtics have disposed of those pesky Bulls, let's look ahead to their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against the Orlando Magic.

The Celtics were 2-2 against the Magic this season, 2-0 with Kevin Garnett, and 0-2 without him. Here's the schedule:

  • Game 1: Monday, May 4, at Boston (8 p.m.; TNT)
  • Game 2: Wednesday, May 6, at Boston (8 p.m.; TNT)
  • Game 3: Friday, May 8, at Orlando (7 p.m.; ESPN)
  • Game 4: Sunday, May 10, at Orlando (8 p.m.; TNT)
  • Game 5*: Tuesday, May 12, at Boston (Time TBA; TNT)
  • Game 6*: Thursday, May 14, at Orlando (Time TBA; ESPN)
  • Game 7*: Sunday, May 17, at Boston (Time TBA; TNT)

After Saturday night's Game 7 victory, the Celtics announced a limited number of tickets for Games 1 and 2 vs. the Magic would go on sale Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Fans can get tickets at Celtics.com, by calling 1-800-4NBA-TIX (800-462-2849), or by visiting the TD Banknorth Garden box office.

  1. Does Comcast SportsNet still have coverage, too? I definitely prefer Tommy Heinsohn and Mike Gorman to whatever Laker and Cav loving announcers that TNT and ESPN can throw out there.

  1. As good as i think you are,"wake up rondo,grow up and stop being a wise guy"
    your'e damn good,but you came close to blowing the last game with your lousy inbounds pass,which was taken by the bulls.you have to be more serious about the game and pay attention" Now that i've said that,go get the magic and beat them. and to mr.rivers why won't you play bill walker?

  1. no Tommy for the rest of the season. i loved when he talked about Brad Millar and how much he hates him

  1. me to Tommy Heinsoln and Mike Gorman are my favorite also. I love when Tommy comments on Brad Miller ..."I Hate HIM!!!!!"

  1. Is there a bigger Chicago homer announcer than Collins? For the whole game seven, if you listened to him instead of watching the game, the Bulls were on their way back to victory! Every small accomplishment was exploded for the Bulls and ignored for the Celtics. I cannot stand that announcer. Man, he couldn't even win with Michael Jordan on his team. 8)

  1. I know! I'll miss Tommy saying, "I HATE that guy. You don't know how much I HATE him. I do NOT like Brad Miller!"

  1. If you're a genuine sports fan seeking professional, impartial commentary, Heinsohn is a nightmare. I am a huge Celtics fan, but you don't get an objective voice when he speaks. According to him, the Celtics have never committed a foul in the history of the game. I prefer the TNT crew.

  1. George, We are all dumber for having read your post...I award you no points, and my god have mercy on your soul.

  1. So True Why does the national sports outlets seem to always tilt toward other teams than Boston teams? Thats across the board in sports, not as bad towards the C's though!

    Celts can take the "finesse" style Magic who haven't played in more than few,
    the C's are energy primed to roll on from Saturday's victory with a Game 1 Win
    to set the tone of this series. Celtics in 7.

  1. If the Celtics do not turn the ball over more than 10 times they will win most games.

  1. Celts should win this series. They'll lose 2 games when Orlando goes nuts from three but the other 4 games will force Orlando to actually play and thats where Boston will win.
