Magic (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Round 1 Game 5 4/29/25

[slamtheking]

they should have been going at Banchero constantly after he got that 4th foul.  should be the gameplan to put both him and Wagner in foul trouble every game.

How is there no tech for touching the refs or yelling at him?

How is there no tech for touching the refs or yelling at him?

because they don't want Banchero out of the game. 

[Silas]

Wait Banchero has 5 fouls?? That could be a massive development

What a pity...

[jpotter33]

Absolutely unprofessional behavior by Brothers there.  He should never be trying to approach a player aggressively like that. The ego on some of these refs is insane.

[SCeltic34]

Talk about a makeup call.  That's not a shooting foul.

[ozgod]

That?s gotta be the worst call. I?ve seen in the last five years from Tony Brothers.

[Phantom255x]

These refs are absolutely on one this postseason

[angryguy77]

Telling you guys, brothers is either biased without caring to hide it or on the take.

[slamtheking]

Brothers making stuff up to help Orlando some more.  no tech on Banchero and a BS shooting foul for Isaac who never had possession of the ball

[liam]

OH BROTHERS that wasn't even a foul. He didn't catch the ball and it's a shooting foul???

[jpotter33]

I'm sure they'll overturn this, but that's always a crap call. If you stick your head into the area where a shooter is going up with a shot, that should absolutely not be an offensive foul. It should only be an offensive foul when it's an unnatural movement.

Well, pleasantly surprised to be wrong about that one. Feel like we'll be going on a run now in the absence of Paolo. Have to take advantage of him being out.

[slamtheking]

JB has shown up this quarter

[Phantom255x]

I'm surprised White has mostly been silent this series after Game 1

[jpotter33]

Brown looks like he has new life now.

I'll also note that he looks to be moving very well. Much better than a few weeks ago.
