Pierce can't buy a call tonight.

[celticinorlando]

odom lead with his knee....

[vinnie]

As I just said about turnovers, and there is the third on Ray. Stupid, stupid basketball.

[jadams5214]

CAN'T afford to give back this entire lead before halftime come on guys!!!

[buellj814]

this league is a fuggin joke?? look at ODOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats the defintion of taunting

I must have missed something. What did Odom do?

just rewind it.. he looked and ran his mouth the whole way back up the court

[Larry for 3]

for christ sake, STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER

[buellj814]

typical joke of an NBA game  

[celticinorlando]

and just like that....a promising relead of 10 is gone and it looks like boston will be tied or behind at the half. just not going to be easy this season.

[jadams5214]

And another turnover followed by a fumbled pass leading to a jump ball.  Just terrible basketball and there is no excuse for it when the C's are playing so well offensively if they can just hang onto the ball!

[Who]

A lot of runs in this first half.

[crownsy]

Wow, for all the NBA says the circle is not the deciding factor on charges, positing and timing is, it sure seems like if your in it, your pretty cooked.

I mean...ray could have ordered coffee in the time that odom took to run him over.

I don't mind if that's the rule, but i wish they'd just come out and say "if your in the circle, you can't take a charge"

Failure to do so just makes me angry when paul gets called for a charge while in it the other night, but tonight ray takes a much better charge in it than the one on paul last night vs the kings, and it's a block.

[celticinorlando]

and another foul called on boston. this is a f'n joke....17-4 FT margin

[mjammz54]

Perk is playing awful right now, a black hole on offense and cant stop anybody on defense, His game has fallen off so much its stunning

[ManUp]

Pierce at the top of the key, Rondo screams for the ball on the left side. Pierce dumps it downlow to Perk. Perk turns it over...

[celticinorlando]

ray got steamed rolled and odom led with his knee...NBA refs are on the take
