The Boston Celtics lead the Orlando Magic and Eastern Conference Finals 2-0 after smothering the defending Conference champions twice on their home floor. I’m not saying the series is over but Orlando should start dusting off their fishing gear.
One person willing to say the series is over is whoever hacked Paul Pierce’s Twitter account. The friend hacker posted “Anybody got a BROOM?” on Pierce’s verified page, leading to Dwight Howard responding to the fake tweet.
Paul Pierce sent this real tweet acknowledging that the series is only halfway done:
Reporters at Dwight Howard’s postgame press conference asked him about Pierce’s comments without knowing that Paul’s Twitter account had been hacked. Howard sounded depressed but tried to keep a positive tone.
Dwight Howard Responds to Paul Pierce “Broom” Tweet:
Some biblical detective work by Matt Humphrey at the Orlando Sentinel shows Howard was loosely quoting Proverbs 16:17-18:
Proverbs 16:17-18 (New International Version)
17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
he who guards his way guards his life.18 Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
I think the old saying “There’s always next year” is the most applicable.
