Celtics (1-1) at Magic (1-1) Game 3 5/8

[vinnie]

clearly yall....u must agree

scal starts sunday

He is probably going to have to start if they suspend Perk.

[pengaloo]

Looks like the C's just ran out of steam. Paul whenever you want to wake up and start playing we can move on beyond this mediocre team, until then get used to this.

But at least we got home court!

(sorry, just had to throw that in there)

I'm sorry you aren't watching the game, but Pierce has been our best player tonight.

In fact, he's having a much better first two series than he had last season.

best players don't wait to the last minute to decide he wants to play the game... but he just looks hurt all the time. I don't think it's the score that's making him grimace.

Grande and Max would completely disagree with you and I agree with them from what I saw. They said Pierce's numbers will look good, but added he did not play a good game tonight. He was not horrible, but also not good.

So, who was our best player then?

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.  

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.

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.

TP to you.  If this was a back and forth game like something we had in the Chicago series, then yeah you get on the refs, try and give your team an edge.  Tonight though the Celtics need to check themselves before they start lookin at someone else.

Since after the break. At one point, he was 2-10, IIRC.

Eddie House. Everyone else, forget about it.

Sure, he should have tried to score and drive to the rim while being doubled on the catch by Anthony Johnson, like he was most of the game.

I am assuming your comments are directed at me since I am the one that mentioned Paul's game, if not sorry, if so that's just a silly comment. I am indeed watching the game, and I am not enjoying it, if you think Paul has had a good series then I am sorry, we disagree quite a bit. Yes he is scoring right now at the end of the game when they are down 20, but until he starts playing from the jump he is putting this team behind the eight ball. Just keep the comments related to the game no need to insult people.

[BASS_THUMPER]

Scal should NEVER put the ball on the floor. Sorry Bass, but scali is no Posey (or Nocioni)

i miss posey and if kg was healthy we wouldnt see scal on the bench at all

but when asked he stepped up and did sumthin...

point blank!!!

[johnnyrondo]

At least Pierce was perfect from the line tonite. 14 for 14. Silver lining?

[Cman]

ugh.

[Thruthelookingglass]

nothing like an old fashioned arse whooping to get you refocused..i highly doubt orlando plays this well sunday night...and i highly doubt boston plays this poorly...depends all on perk if he plays or not...but boston has been throughly embarassed tonight

It's a competitive second round.  Now we know how Orlando fans felt on Wednesday.  I'm not gonna get busy pointing fingers and I am not interested in conjecture about Perk's foul, what I want to know is how our team moves forward to win this series.  Our Celtics can absolutely do it, but it's no cakewalk and no gimme.

[vinnie]

See if Tony Allen can foul out in four minutes.
