im still here too!

*sippin ole e*

On the other hand, when the game gets close, we stop getting calls, and every time the Magic drive to the basket, it's a foul.

Yep -- as I said earlier. Every time the Celtics lose it is the refs' fault. In fact, the refs made Perk elbow Pietrus in the thorat.  

Yeah, and only Celtic fans say that?

Or what´s your point?

My point is that in most games the refs make bad calls both ways and do not impact the outcome. Like tonight. That is all.

i don't complain about calls, but dwight howard fouled Pierce in the first quarter, and atleast one of those blocks were goaltending.

[Kiorrik]

Oh well, still hoping for miracles here.

We've seen weirder things happen. All in all I'm glad I got up to watch this one: at least we lost because we did bad, not because we're not a better team than they are.

I'm saying goodbye for tonight, you misunderstood me... nevermind, I'm a little frustrated after all, Perk was the most consistent Celtic so far and now he probably wastes our chances of winning this series, that's so frustrating...

[Kuberski33]

We still haven't had a game where both teams have played reasonably well.  Last series we had about 6 of them.

well, part of the problem is, we just couldn't hit anything tonight. bad defense, too, but just an awful night shooting the ball. we had lots of good looks, too. everyone except house was very off.

[Cman]

Hoping for a bunch of 3s that go in for the Cs (followed by great D).
It would be satisfying for the Cs to pull this one out with a bunch of made 3 pointers...

You're so funny. That rolling eyes smiley gets me every time. Ha ha ha. You should be writing for The Office with that biting sarcastic wit. We heard you the first two times, stop being an NBA apologist.

But you blame the refs, yet Pierce has now been to the line 14 times. You guys gotta realize that the C's did not come to play for much of the game tonight. And, that offensive foul they just gave to the C's was a bad call for Orlando. Take off your green colored glasses once and awhile.

You just seem to go way over board trying to not be bias towards the celtics. It's almost like any time someone complains about a call you try and justify it

Bottom line is the officials have had NO IMPACT on this game and the incessant whining is ridiculous. Celtics played like crap tonight and played NO defense. They were totally outplayed by Orlando tonight. The Magic is going to score 120 points.

There is a lid on the hoop whenever Ray shoots

[BASS_THUMPER]

[Celtic]

I'd like to see a run here, win or lose, let's just get a run.

TP. I have a little rule on the bench: When my team plays like garbage, I sit down and shut up. I have no beef with officials when my team plays as poorly as this one has tonight.

[droopdog7]

this Celtic.team can't beat Orlando. Just can't.

[vinnie]

This is probably the worst defensive game since Garnett joined the team. Please Doc, get all of the starters out. A thorough embarrassment for the team tonight.
