Celtics (1-0) at Magic (0-1) Game 2 5/18

[wahz]

tell me how this blow by Howard is different than what KG did in the Miami series. I'm all ears.

And the thing about it is Dwight did it Intentionally..KG's was an accident..

It sucks that our fans don't see that this was MUCH worse than what KG did

[4THQTR]

Got lucky there with Howard's fourth. And just like that four on Howard.

You can read the flagrant rules here: http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_12.html?nav=ArticleList

Basically, flagrant one: If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul--penalty (1) will be assessed.

flagrant two: If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpret-ed to be unnecessary and excessive, a flagrant foul--penalty (2) will be assessed.

I fail to see how what Howard did is severe enough to be ejected. A hard flagrant one. Plain as day to me. Again, it can't be compared to KG's ejection. That was an elbow on a dead ball, non basketball play which the league considers a punch. The equivalent here, as I said earlier, is Rondo/Brad Miller.  A play on which Rondo didn't even get a flagrant.

And enough getting bogged down in that talk....RONDO!!!

TP!

[RebusRankin]

Time to make a push.

[fan33]

Oh My... No matter how many times I see him do that, it's unreal...RONDOOOOOO~~~ 

[Meadowlark_Scal]

You don't believe shel;don has back spasms.....heck Scal was not dressed for some storied injury....that is how they tell it....doc hates sheldon because he makes doc look like a fool...for not playing him......scal makes the team look like a joke for playing him....!

This is ridiculous.

don't stasrt that stuff again...huh..what is with you....don't like it...pass it by.....don't call me out dude....

Call em as I see em. That's comment is just nonsense.

you need to go back on your meds....you need the 12 step program to learn to talk and post without acting like mt know it all...you don't it is your opinion..and CALLING people out is not accepted here

[Tai]

Pierce nad Rondo got it going on!

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

just to fix this....i don't know if sheldon is hurt or not..i don't know if scal was ever hurt...it is just odd to get a perfect swap at once .....1 in 1 out....hows that...i don't want to argue with anyone...driving in somerville is a battle enough for me..!

But Sheldon is hurt. He has back spasms. He can't play tonight. Period. So activate Scal in his place. Scal hasn't been on the injured list this playoffs. He has been inactive.

[Tenacious D]

There you go KG!

Just saying

You think the coach of the team hates one of his players because he has him fifth on the depth chart and when he uses him he does well. So by doing well, that makes Doc look bad so Doc hates him??

Really!!!

A championship winning head coach in the NBA hates his player because when he does well he makes his coach look bad?

Really!!

[Ohio Celtics Fan]

Ray Ray is absolutely sucking today, I predict a huge bounce back in game 3.

[BudweiserCeltic]

There you go. Keep going to KG with Howard off.

Carter broke arm I think.

[houseonfire09]

Vince Carter got shot again.   

[RJ87]

There you go. Keep going to KG with Howard off.

Carter broke arm I think.

He's not moving that arm at all

[mzepol]

Wow even Ray's FT shooting is off tonight. How lucky can the Magic get?

[Neurotic Guy]

Great defense.  Great play by KG.

C's defense is alive.   

I don't want to see either of these teams injured.  Hope he is OK.
