My prediction for game 5.....C's win, but Perk or Sheed get a T

[rondohondo]

I just have a feeling about this. The C's have the momentum and the crowd behind them and the big 4 is due to have a breakout(especially with Bynum limited or out). I also think Sheed or Perk will get a T . It is a swing game so you know it is going to be a very emotional game.

The refs will not hold back from calling T's in this game. 

Stern wants this to go 7 .but with bynum injured it could end in 6. That's why he well give the refs the go ahead to call T's quicker than they have so far in the series. Especially after the C's part owner confronted Stern about the refs

I think Perkins has been controlling himself very well, I think he will avoid a T.

I have less faith in Sheed.

yeah, Sheed went nuts in last night's game -- almost to the point of yelling "just give me a T already!".

I like the first part of your prediction, but you can leave out the second part.

that t was bs. He runs away a screams and the t him up. that was pure garbage.

No the T was deserved.  He did that about three times during the game.  He needs to control himself with that.

I know it's up to Perk to keep his composure and for the most part he has so far mostly and needs to keep on doing so but I really wish Doc would say something about the obvious baiting of Perk going on. I've seen a few too many contrived bumps into him so far to be accidental. Maybe a T for instigating would cut that out.

I'm thinking positive. No more Ts for any of our guys.

he carried on way past the point of a reasonable protest of the call.  the swearing didn't help either.  it's like he was asking for one.  I can't believe the refs waited as long as they did to call it.  I actually thought they were going to give him 2 for that display.

Once the game is in hand, maybe they should both get T's. Sit out 6 and be ready for 7?

Kobe tried to bait Perk, walked right in front of Perk as Perk was going to the bench, then slowed down and caused contact. Then when Perk didn't take the bait they showed Kobe smirking, you could basically here him thinking "didn't get him there, but I'll get him next time."

[Drucci]

I think Perk will avoid the 7th T, he has gathered himself very well in the Finals, kudos to him (although I saw on the replays of game 4 that he went nuts on the bench during the 4th when Kobe got some calls ).

Sheed, however, is more of a concern, he just can't  control himself and he went crazy last night... hopefully he does a better job of controling his emotions in game 5 and beyond.

[Brendan]

I thought Sheed played best D after the 5th foul and T - was in more control and not just hacking people. He had several calls job him last night, and I think it built up.

I'd guess they can both make it to game 7, unless things get redic.

I agree and yelling expletives, hell I'm not saying I dont cuss but when youre screaming barking cussing over and over thats just dumb. He's got to restrain himself he is probably more valuable to us than Perk in this series.

I didn't hear the swearing, I just heard the scream. They have got to give some room for emotion. How is this any different from a scream after a dunk? I've seen guys give a yell and have nothing called.

I will say that it was dumb on his part to draw attention to himself by doing it. He knows he's a target so he should shut up. But I still think the ref could have let it go.

It's showing up the refs and he did two times before.
