NBA Playoffs ECF: Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics

[Kakarot]

Celtics gonna F around and let Orlando win this series....

Yep. Alot of the Celtics key role players are getting injured, and I think the Magic have settled down and gotten it together. This is the Magic team i expected in the first 3 games.

Did anyone see Julius Peppers sitting on the bench?

Julius Peppers at the Orlando game? Interesting.

Maybe after Peppers gets his 20 mil from Chicago, he will team up with Howard..

After he finishes his duties for one year ofcourse

[Kakarot]

Pep watching, reminiscing on his days when he played basketball with the Heels. I bet he'll be at a lot of the Bulls games; especially if Lebron goes over there

This has been a disgusting half of basketball.

That 2nd Tech was one of the worst calls I have ever seen.

True, but it's quite simple for Perkins: control yourself. He wouldn't have been in that situation if he hadn't freaked out anyway. To be honest, I'm tired of seeing any player bitch about foul calls. It's pathetic and it does little to change what gets called on you - in fact, it likely exacerbates it no matter what attitude you have. The first technical on him was a mistake, but an honest one. I think the second technical was a mistake but there is no excuse for bad officiating, but likewise, bad officiating is no excuse for losing (your cool, or the game).

does Vince Carter still play for Orlando? anyway, if the Magic win in Boston, I think they will take the series

[Kakarot]

Atta boy Orlando, now we have a series. I hope they can pull off game 6, I really wanna see a game 7 between these two. Glad to see the Magic didnt quit like the Cavs did.

Julius Peppers at the Orlando game? Interesting.

It's funny; I posted this at the same time as the dude before me. I guess we saw the same glimpse.

Also, I just gained a lot of respect for Doc Rivers. He handled the reporters question about the technicals on Perkins with excellence. He made no excuses and realized that the officials were not out to get them. He blamed no one but the Celtics. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a coach subtly hint that the officials were a part of why they lost.

Just when the Lakers and Celtics look like two juggernauts destined to meet in the finals................

[DudeNamedJeremy]

i like the magic and i like the suns

i dislike the celtics and the lakers

id love to see the magic and the suns in the finals

steve nash deserves a championship

[necroplasm]

Those lips have to be chapped by now.

[SOJA]

Oh boy Boston why do I smell a debacle? A hot shooting Orlando team is an incredibly dangerous team. Heck the Bobcats probably would have won the first three games the Celts one. This is why the NBA playoffs are great. It gives each team a chance to prove their real worth instead of just getting lucky one game.

I'm rooting hard for the Suns all the way.

[necroplasm]

Man the C's dropped like flies that game. This could be history in the making.
