Magic (32-19) at Celtics (37-12) 2/6

[soap07]

Jeff SHUT UP. You are making an ass out of yourself.

Please tell me what he was wrong about. JVG is right. This is certainly not a game that C's fans can complain about biased officiating going the other way.

What he is wrong about? Everything he said. DH12 gets away with more than anyone on the defensive end because of his "reputation" as a defensive stopper. But he should get ticky-tack calls down the other end.

Oh and where did I complain about "biased officiating"? All I said was JVG is an idiot and that rant was embarrassing.

You didn't complain about the biased officiating. But everytime the C's lose, there are always threads about the anti-C's conspiracy. I would point to this game as an example of generous officiating going the Celtics way.

And I would disagree about Howard getting away with stuff on the defensive end. He doesn't get away with anymore or less than anybody on the Celtics.

Which is why JVG's complaint is completely irrelevant.  If Dwight gets away with the same fouls he's highlighting for Perk, then Dwight doesnt have to rise above anything.  It's just the way the games being called.  He's not some hero that has to overcome these people holdiing him back like JVG is making it out to be

We're talking about two different things. Howard gets fouled more on the offensive end than anyone in the league and doesn't get called for it. That was JVG's point. Shaq had this problem in his prime as well. If Howard flopped more, he'd get to the line about 89 times a game.

This is too funny. The Magic want so desperately to be Boston's rival.

JVG truly needs to shut the hell up

RT @carolynmanno: @Gary_Tanguay reporting Marquis Daniels will be ok. All extremities moving according to medical staff sources

SHUT UP JVG everyone else is trying their hardest to not publicly blast him

Seriously. Whether Howard has advanced offensively or not, I could see them losing in the first round. No joke.

[Tenacious D]

Perhaps J-V-Gumby should RECUSE hisslef from announcing this game  The ant-Celts animus is too much.

And Dwight Howard gets away with more fouls than anyone in the league on the defensive end.

There should be zero complaints coming out of his mouth.

pierce instigated that confrontation between clark and nate.

pierce has been in clarks ear since he came in the game

[CelticSooner]

Howard can get his. As long as the C's shut down the Magic shooters we're good.

DH is the KING of swinging elbows.

[bruinsandceltics]

Pierce is deep inside Earl Clark's head.

Do us all a favor Jeff, find the tallest building in boston, go to the top and jump.

[bruinsandceltics]

DH is the KING of swinging elbows.

Bingo. And he gets away with them so much.

[Neurotic Guy]

How did the C's win this half?
