Celtics @ Magic ECF game 2

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Turkoglu would've made those two free throws when the Magic were down three...

That is all.

Can't believe it, but after watching bits and pieces of these first two games, I'm actually pulling for the Celtics in this series. Maybe make the Cavs feel a little better, and because I seriously hate more guys on Orlando than I do Boston.

Talking refs and blown calls? Did you see how many fouls we got? The screen that negated the potential Ray Allen 3 on Perkins to foul him out?

29 vs 25? While they were hacking Howard? And those Celtic screens are notoriously illegal. I know this isn't the first time you've heard about it. I'd bet they missed it several times before that. Garnett, Davis and Perkins are repeat offenders. And they got it back with Redick's offensive foul. But like I've said, the opportunity was there, so Orlando can't complain.

29 vs 25 seems pretty close to me?

I want the Lakers to beat the Celtics for #16

I'm not looking for close, I'm looking for fair


Congrats though. It sucks to see a team go away from what got them there, but I was prepared thanks to the Spurs

I actually would like the Celtics to win this one too. Just because I think they have a better chance against the Lakers (who I think will probably get to the finals) than the Magic.

Also, as much as Vince Carter had entertained me in that Dunk contest all those years ago, and his one Dunk over that 7 ft french guy, I feel that he really has done nothing else worthy of being a champion. His Nick Andersen performance at the line when it counted further proofs that point.

Interesting that Paul Pierce is already predicting a sweep....don't get too cocky now, Mr. Wheelchair.

I agree with you that Orlando shouldn't complain. It was a pretty horribly officiated game for sure. But honestly, I think I've come to the point where I accept the fact that the NBA refs are so horrible/blind/bias/crooked towards everyone that it's just part of the game and linking a lost or a win to refs is taking credit away from the team.

In the end, losers look for excuses, while winners win not matter what's against them.

The wheelchair gives him the superpowers to be "the greatest player in the world" (according to his Exquisite card inscription). Don't mock the wheelchair!! hahaha . . . .

I don't think it'll be a sweep, but I don't think Orlando can win this series, unless Vince Carter becomes not Vince Carter or somehow Dwight Howard magically shoots 100% FT's

How does the NBA expect me to believe there is no hidden agenda and the refs are good when I witness games like this time after time. I saw Barnes get hammered 3 times in a row going to the whole in one play with no call. Also, Dwight was already in the air with Pierce several feet away and then Pierce ran into him as Dwight was coming back down... DRAMA QUEEN

speaking the truth here

Travel now but not in the first half??? Hmmmm

traveling happens all the time and rarely gets called

This is THE worst officiating game I've seen in this playoffs so far.

The refs clearly want Boston/Lakers, the calls Boston has gotten over the entire playoffs is ridiculous

don't say things like that

odd that he didnt run his mouth when LeBron was shutting him down, typical Celtics jawing their mouths when they have some sort of 'advantage'
