ECF Game 5 Celtics @ Magic

A wild first half. Whistle happy refs no doubt. I think the foul and T were both horrible calls on Perkins, but is on par with the officiating so far. Matt Barnes made a horrible play for us on that T. Vince needs to quit touching the ball bc he is KILLING us. I have no clue why he thinks he needs to settle for these long 2's. Here's to hoping Orlando pulls this one out

But Carter's tech didn't eject him from the game before halftime...didn't eject him from the game period...Carter's tech had no effect on the game other than one point from the free throw, which still would've resulted in a 2-point Boston win.

Considering the foul call was terrible and the tech was even worse, it completely changed the entire outcome of the game...Perkins should stop crying then, every foul...he makes Sheed look civil, i get its the playoffs, but lesson learned, stop acting like a punk and he'll stop being treated like one...him not playing really doesn't effect Boston they have enough bigs playing

I was watching and though the exact same thing, the energy and teamwork with Reddick out there and Vince sitting was great, as soon as Vince came in, the energy was gone and the team went sour

Magic forgot to attack down the stretch. Vince's problem was he settled for the J when he should've attacked. They started dumping it back into Howard which got them in the hole in the first place. If Howard can learn to pass out and re-post, he'd be dangerous.

cgb, they said it best the other night when they said he is only 24 and has a lot to learn, his post game is a ton better than in the past. He also seems to be rattled by Perkins and settles for some LONG hook shots

good first half for orlando, I think the perkins T was a joke.. but oh well go magic!!

I have a gut feeling Pierce might light up a lil more and Rondo is going to get fed up and the Celts are going to take it home tonight in Orlando... which would make me a saaddddd panda.

Might not be able to play game 6 though, which would be critical for the Magic.

If the T on Perkins stands, he'll be out for the next game...league should retract that call though...at least they SHOULD.

As a Celtics fan, I would have to say... Wow D Howard that was nice.
