Magic @ Celtics ECF Game 3

Same here. When the refs are throwing balls at fans and making phantom calls and no-calls, not much you can do but wait until next year.

garnett_21, its not disappointing to watch the Orlando performance. Its disappointing to watch the refs screw your team over and over again and ruin a great season.

and before we have members come in here and say 'your just mad because they're losing to the Celtics' no, i get mad in general

when a referee comes out and says he and other refs fixed games in the finals against your team to make sure they lose, you take it personal when you have refs blowing easy calls

Can't blame it all on the refs though...the free throws/turnovers don't result in +21 for Boston.

All about effort.

Magic doing to the Celtics what the Spurs did to the Suns.

[garnett_21]

Celtics up 51-34 at halftime. 3 Celtics in double figures already.

Way to step out there


The Magic need to stop forcing to Howard, move the ball and start going after it. The effort is pathetic.

To this point, Boston has outplayed Orlando. However, you can't tell me that with halfway decent officiating the series wouldn't be at least tied at 1, and a Game Three that's within single digits. Its not all the refs, Orlando had been outplayed for a majority of the game(s), but it would undoubtedly be a different series with a different officiating crew.

Maybe, maybe not...Orlando has gotten a good number of calls in their favor that shouldn't have been called too...it's not like all the bad calls are going in favor of Boston...alot are this game, but I wouldn't say it's even a 2/3rds majority.
