"Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy paid former Piston Rasheed Wallace a compliment Wednesday night after the Magic rolled over the injury-depleted Boston Celtics, 113-92.

"I'll tell you what, Rasheed Wallace -- I mean I'm trying to say this the right way -- I hate the guy," Van Gundy was quoted as saying after Wallace scored 21 points in a losing cause. "It's like he never has a bad game against a team I coach, you know. So incredible. He's playing extremely well."

Wallace and the Pistons knocked Miami and Van Gundy out of the playoffs once, in the 2005 Eastern Conference finals, when the Pistons won Game 7 at Miami, 88-82.

As a Piston, Wallace often played well against Orlando's Dwight Howard. The Pistons went 17-4 against the Magic during the regular season from 2003 to 2009. Detroit knocked Orlando out of the playoffs in 2007 and 2008."
