Celtics (3-1) at Magic (1-3) Game 5 5/27

[Thruthelookingglass]

Refereeing has been slightly one sided, but Celtics are playing lazy, reaching defense with zero intensity. Cannot afford to play that way if they want to close it out tonight. Way too many points given up in the first quarter.

It's the Rocky Balboa strategy:  "They'll tire eventually."

Agree 100%.  Where is the intensity?  DIdn't KG give everyone a little pep talk?  Come on guys!

I am NOT wrong....these refs did EVERYTHING they could to get us in Foul trouble---on CHEAP calls...or WRONG calls...Rondo's 2nd foul--Jameer stuck his elbow out...KG's foul was BS....Gortat moved about 7 feet on his moving screen for Pierce's foul....Baby just hustled for the loose ball-FOUL-!!

lol..this is so funny..even the fans on the ESPN comments section are stating that the refreeing is slanted towards the Magic..

I am shocked we're only down by 5 right now, we're playing god awful

And something is definately not right with Rondo and I'm worried.

Sheed can just stand and put his hands up to block the shot, but he decides to commit a dumb foul instead.

[nickagneta]

Apparently it's not a foul to body a shooter wearing green but if you breathe on a shooter wearing white, then it's a foul.

[Frezz]

What's going on so far is why I laugh at people who tell me there's no such thing as referee bias.

[indyceltic]

The defense can show up any time now...

[RJ87]

Sheed came to play tonight...  Does he think we're going up against Toronto?

ANOTHER FOUL?!?!

[Roy Hobbs]

You know, Orlando really isn't that good.  The refs are downright cheating, and we're only down four right now.

[Drucci]

The officiating is ridiculously in favor of Orlando... disgusting.

Sheed ballin', love the connection with Ray.

[Drucci]

50/50 ball going Orlando's way and then Redick makes a wide open 3... they have to start missing at some point right?

[MaxwellSmart86]

Oh and....Howard is allowed to LAND ON TOP of Rondo after blocking his layup attempt---If you land on a guy shooting a 3---they ALWAYS give you free throws-!??.!!

refs making sure we there is friday night hoops...but boston looks tired...i am afraid of this slope they are sliding down
