Celts@Magic Game 5 Thread

[bostonguy]

This series is going to be even tougher to close out now that Orlando has some life. If this series shifts back to Boston, it is going to get very very interesting. Hopefully they can do what they weren't able to do in game 4 and put the Magic away.

[D2Procon]

Why are you worried? Stern has this game under control

[bostonguy]

Why are you worried? Stern has this game under control

Because Orlando has some life in them. They take it tonight, they have even more life. The long this series goes, the more it favors the Magic. Celts being a better road than home team is why I believe they can finish it tonight.

This series is going to be even tougher to close out now that Orlando has some life.

:rolleyes Quit gettin' your melodramatic on and act like somebody.

[bostonguy]

:rolleyes Quit gettin' your melodramatic on and act like somebody.

I am not being dramatic. I am just being honest. The more you give a team life, the tougher it is to finish them off.

Plus Boston sports has been on both ends of a 3-0. Red Sox in 2004 and Bruins this year.
:lol

tee hee

[lurker]

Not sure who to root for tonight now that Phoenix tied the series up. I'd want the Celtics to be well rested for the Lakers but exhausted for the Suns. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

I'm relatively sure we close it out tonight. Rondo had a poor game, and if he plays at even 75% of how he's been playing throughout the playoffs we take it. I also expect Doc to make a few adjustments.

Stern has just taken over the game.

[ffadicted]

Carter good start, already equal his game 4 output lmao

[LnGrrrR]

Did both teams decide they were only going to make 3's this game? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Late, but always on time. Do you believe in Magic?

[ChrisRichards]

Orlando wins this one, Boston closes this series in 6.

[ffadicted]

Holy shizzle superman

[NewJerSpur]

What's happened to this point, I haven't even been able to watch the game?

[djohn2oo8]

What's happened to this point, I haven't even been able to watch the game?

Dwight just went Hakeem on that block

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight doing work.

[NewJerSpur]

Great effort by Rondo.

[NewJerSpur]

This is the series we expected to see, too bad it's come so late.

[hitmanyr2k]

Never thought I would ever say this but I'm becoming a fan of Rondo :lol I love how he never gives up on defense.

[LnGrrrR]

Magic draining threes well.

[Amarelooms]

Magic are the perfect team to play zone against when Reddick is not in....Suns would be killing em with da zone

:elephant

[Chieflion]

Orlando Magic, first team to overcome 3-0 deficit? Naw, just kidding. I am waiting till it happens.

[hhml]

Great block and hustle. Howard with no regard for human life when he flew in to swat that ball.

[NewJerSpur]

Great block and hustle. Howard with no regard for human life when he flew in to swat that ball.

You've got to type that in CAPS to do it justice. :lol

[ffadicted]

Celtics gonna get in foul trouble early

[NewJerSpur]

Nice to see Jameer still attacking the paint.

[hitmanyr2k]

Two straight bullshit calls on Perkins and Rondo. Let'em play.

[LnGrrrR]

I'm listening to the game on the radio... is Boston hacking Dwight? Or are the refs calling this close?

[NewJerSpur]

Bad transition defense.

[NewJerSpur]

I'm listening to the game on the radio... is Boston hacking Dwight? Or are the refs calling this close?

Refs calling it close in favor of Orlando early.

[NewJerSpur]

Matt Barnes looking better as the series goes on, especially with his help defense and rebounding.

[hitmanyr2k]

It sucks that the only significant highlight of the Vince Carter/Prince of Persia promo is the 2000 slam dunk contest :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Redick doing work.

[j.dizzle]

It sucks that the only significant highlight of the Vince Carter/Prince of Persia promo is the 2000 slam dunk contest :lol
:lmao Thats like a kick in the balls

[NewJerSpur]

Matty B, great rebound by Gortat.

[hitmanyr2k]

What the fuck is up with these refs man? Goddamn. Let'em play!! They're trying to foul out Boston's frontline in the first fuckin qtr.

[NewJerSpur]

If anything, I let them play through there, especially if you aren't going to make that call in the 4th.

[j.dizzle]

LOL refs callin the playoffs like its the WNBA , you cant even touch ppl these days.

[NewJerSpur]

Nelson had Pierce on skates.

[LnGrrrR]

Refs providing home-cooking?

[hitmanyr2k]

Refs providing home-cooking?

7 course meal so far.

[HarlemHeat37]

Refs providing home-cooking?

That out of bounds looked like it was off Rondo..followed up by an and-1 for the Celtics..meal is over..

[NewJerSpur]

Dumb play by JJ to even put himself in position to get that foul to close the quarter.

[D2Procon]

BREAKING NEWS


I have reliable sources that tell me that David Stern has a change of plans and will force this series to a game 6 due to lack of revenue from the playoffs. According to Stern Magic are going to win by 2 points

[NewJerSpur]

Great start by Orlando, good to see them hitting from downtown again and still penetrating the lane to set the table. Game's going to get tighter as we go on.

[Bob Lanier]

I don't understand how Spurs fans can dislike Ray Allen so much. This guy is just a joy to watch.

[j.dizzle]

Orl actually playing hard & scoring now. Past 2 games have been completely different then the first 3 games.

[NewJerSpur]

Get that weak sauce out of here.

[Bob Lanier]

LMAO Bass

[NewJerSpur]

That's a great sign if Pietrus starts making those.

[HarlemHeat37]

'Sheed and Howard can't keep their hands off each other..

[Bob Lanier]

Finally Sheed is on Howard instead of Big Fatass.

[NewJerSpur]

Looks like a different Magic team out there from the first 3 games indeed.

[Bob Lanier]

Why the hell are NBA bench areas so fucking crowded? Christ.

[LnGrrrR]

Magic making a great start. For those watching, are the Celts not rotating on defense? Are they boxing Howard out of the low post?

[NewJerSpur]

Do it to it JJ.

[j.dizzle]

LOL all i ever see is Sheed & Dwight wrapped pushin each other. Sheed hacks until the refs call it

[Bob Lanier]

The Cs are mostly being picked apart by screen/rolls and in transition.

[Cry Havoc]

Celtics coming unglued right now.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic making a great start. For those watching, are the Celts not rotating on defense? Are they boxing Howard out of the low post?

Celtics not defending the pick-n-roll well in terms of collapsing on the point and not getting out to the 3-point shooters.

Magic have gotten some favorable bounces in terms of rebounds but they actually have perimeter players crashing the boards for a change instead of just Dwight.

[j.dizzle]

I would just run Boston into the ground. They dont look too great after only 1 day of rest.

[Killakobe81]

Looks like the Lakers arent the only ones with a fight on our hands ...

All yall with thge Celts in 5 Stuff (Finals) ...chillax

Celts are good but not >> Lakers

Any Finals series out of these 4 is probably going at least 6 ...even if Suns beat Lakers ...

[LnGrrrR]

The Cs are mostly being picked apart by screen/rolls and in transition.

Thanks. Are they setting double screens/picks?

[NewJerSpur]

You are gay, or a girl.

:lol

You know you guys wish you had him right about now, lol.

[Killakobe81]

I would just run Boston into the ground. They dont look too great after only 1 day of rest.

Cant believe Im saying this especially after his braincramp in game 2 ...

But I would seriously consider Jj if i wa sthe Lakers his range would gives us great spacing he was MEANT for the triangle ...

[Cry Havoc]

:wow

Sheed just played a good defensive possession.

:wow

[j.dizzle]

LOL Sheed all arm

[Cry Havoc]

LOL Sheed all arm

Well he's got three now. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Thanks. Are they setting double screens/picks?

Mainly the one screen for the point (Jameer has danced a bit resulting in a second screen at times).

[Bob Lanier]

What was that, the crab hop?

[NewJerSpur]

Nice shot by KG over two bigs.

[NewJerSpur]

Who was that pass for?

[Bob Lanier]

lol Pierce

[NewJerSpur]

JJ mofo Redick.

[j.dizzle]

Fuck, Dwight is beasting. This is crazy

[HarlemHeat37]

If only Orlando showed up a little earlier in the series..particularly Dwight in game 1, and overall effort in game 3..

[NewJerSpur]

D-Ho's defense at the rim has been stellar the last two games and has rejuvenated the Magic.

[angrydude]

Howard playing up to the hype.

[picc84]

:lol Vince coming off the bench to greet the real team like Mateen Cleaves

[JamStone]

I wonder how Vince Carter felt when he realized that JJ Redick was a better player than him.

[LnGrrrR]

TO was needed there.

Looks like this series is going back to Boston unless they wake up on D.

[j.dizzle]

Cant believe Im saying this especially after his braincramp in game 2 ...

But I would seriously consider Jj if i wa sthe Lakers his range would gives us great spacing he was MEANT for the triangle ...
Ofcourse, if he got the same looks as failmar & brown, he would avg 12-15 points a game off the bench. He hits contested 3's on Orl, all his shots would be wide open playing on the same court with Kobe.

[picc84]

Magic making a great start. For those watching, are the Celts not rotating on defense? Are they boxing Howard out of the low post?

Magic changed their PnR schemes.

And frankly, they are just playing way harder than they were before. Thats really what it boils down to.

[Spurologist]

LOL , CARTER. Fucking cheer leader.

:lmao

[TampaDude]

Joey C slowing this shit down too much.

[NewJerSpur]

Ofcourse, if he got the same looks as failmar & brown, he would avg 12-15 points a game off the bench. He hits contested 3's on Orl, all his shots would be wide open playing on the same court with Kobe.

When does Phil start giving Sasha more of a look? I'm not saying he's the answer, but just wondering.

[TampaDude]

Shake it off, Rondo!

[Cry Havoc]

3 on Lewis. Wow.

[Bob Lanier]

lol Howard. A thug with a watermelon smile.

[NewJerSpur]

Bass manned up for that rebound.

[NewJerSpur]

Great recovery by Pietrus.

[Killakobe81]

SVG is dfumb for not playing Bass earlier I always liked that guy ...

Kills the Lakers ...

[picc84]

What took Stan so long to play Bass?

[Bob Lanier]

Perkins is a big part of Boston's problem defensively. He just camps in the paint and doesn't rotate at all.

[NewJerSpur]

Wow.

[JamStone]

This series could take on a completely different tenor if the Magic win this game AND Rondo keeps getting banged up like this to the point he's all bumps and bruises and can't play like the start of the playoffs. He already doesn't seem like the same player as the first couple games this series.

[hitmanyr2k]

Celtics have to get this down to 8 by halftime.

[picc84]

Game 6 is game 7.

[hhml]

The Magic are hustling like crazy and challenging every shot. If they had put in this kind of effort earlier rather than wait 'til they're down 3-0, this series would've been a lot closer.

[NewJerSpur]

Got to finish the quarter strong....can't let Boston go on any kind of run, especially with Howard going out.

[Killakobe81]

Ofcourse, if he got the same looks as failmar & brown, he would avg 12-15 points a game off the bench. He hits contested 3's on Orl, all his shots would be wide open playing on the same court with Kobe.

I agree ...DO it Mitch!

[HarlemHeat37]

I was hoping they would play Bass or Ryno since game 1, thankfully SVG did it after some desperation..Magic fans have been asking for Bass to play all year, SVG went with him for a stretch of a few weeks and then benched him again..he's a poor defender and takes some bad shots, but his energy/physicality/mid-range shot are all quality..

[HarlemHeat37]

There's Pietrus being Pietrus there..

[picc84]

Pietrus wanted to shoot BAD.

[Bob Lanier]

Mickael Pietrus: still an idiot.

[NewJerSpur]

Pietrus stalling the offense trying to hit a homerun....just dumb.

[TampaDude]

Magic made a nice run there...let's see if the Celtics can do the same.

[Spurologist]

This series could take on a completely different tenor if the Magic win this game AND Rondo keeps getting banged up like this to the point he's all bumps and bruises and can't play like the start of the playoffs. He already doesn't seem like the same player as the first couple games this series.

not to mention the Celtics disadvantage in the youth department (of core players). Celtics overall have a younger team

[NewJerSpur]

Agreed. I think he was injured for a stretch in the season as well that took him out of the rotation and Van Gundy didn't really make the effort to get him back into the flow of things. The Anderson disappearance has been a mystery as well.

[Spurologist]

Pietrus stalling the offense trying to hit a homerun....just dumb.

thought the same thing. He's playing too predictable right now. He is hustling though. Coach has to settle him down

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, nice try by Gortat though.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ Pierce..

[NewJerSpur]

thought the same thing. He's playing too predictable right now. He is hustling though. Coach has to settle him down

:tu

The defensive effort is there, but everyone knows he wants to take a stepback 3 at every opportunity.

[Spurologist]

What the fuck is pierce doing playing after the whistle. He deserved to be put on his ass.

[Bob Lanier]

Vince Carter just wants to suck cocks and play basketball, but he forgot how to play basketball.

[Spurologist]

:lol

JVG:The NBA: where soft happens

[NewJerSpur]

Vince needs to stop shooting.

[picc84]

Vince is the worst player in the Magic's rotation.

Thats half-amazing.

[HarlemHeat37]

Vince's jump shot died all of a sudden..he was very good in game 1, don't know what happened..

[ffadicted]

These T's are so queer

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao at these officials.

Boxing out on a rebound is now a technical foul.

[Bob Lanier]

This constant whistling is ruining the game.

[NewJerSpur]

Pietrus taking a smart 3.

[D2Procon]

Fuck looks like Stern has arrived.

[Spurologist]

Magic are letting all their good work go to waste.......Pietrus for 3. :lol He's been bottling that shot for a while

[NewJerSpur]

Now that was a foul.

[Cry Havoc]

Another tech.

:lmao

Officials are clueless.

Bye bye Perkins.

[ffadicted]

oh my god are you serious..... I'm cheering for orlando, but this is just ridiculous

[Bob Lanier]

Oh good God. Howard's getting the LeBron whistle tonight.

[NewJerSpur]

Or not, I thought Perkins reached in.

[picc84]

See ya Perk.

Dude probably has cornbread stashed in his locker. He'll be alright.

[JamStone]

Bang!

[Spurologist]

No way that should be a tech especially if perkins already has a technical foul

[Cry Havoc]

This officiating is absolutely abysmal on both sides.

[Bob Lanier]

African-Americans should just not be allowed to referee in the NBA.

Perkins got fucked by the refs again lol. His last two fouls were complete bullshit and now the ejection? :lol

[TampaDude]

Yup...hardcore...

[NewJerSpur]

Weird.

[Cry Havoc]

At least the refs haven't been favoring one team too heavily... although that last tech was BEEEEEEEEEE ESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[Spurologist]

I remember when Vinsanity actually mattered

[san antonio spurs]

No way that should be a tech especially if perkins already has a technical foul

WTF is with this reasoning. What should get you a tech, should get you a tech no matter how many you have. That reaction is a textbook tech.

[Amarelooms]

lol now I see why Perkins is so angry.....he got fucked. Refs should not take over games....welcome to the nba

:elephant

[DJ Mbenga]

oh man. stern is on fire. first the suns now this. man does this guy ever take a day off?

[TampaDude]

Sheeeeed!!!

[Killakobe81]

Wow. Well that was weak ...but Perk has done enough crap they let go ...so I cant say they got screwed ...


Also giys in here bitching about calls are some of the same badasses that sauid the Lakers shouldnt whine about calls since the Lakers ALWAYS get calls ...

Yall dont think the Celts got calls on their way to 17 titles?

It all evens out and homecooking ALWAYS happens in the playoffs with calls

[LnGrrrR]

Joey Crawford. We'll be seeing a few techs called tonight.

:worthy:

[DPG21920]

That was a technical foul with the way he showed up the refs. Just because he already had one, does not mean what he did is not a tech. If he did not have a tech before and did the same thing and got hit with one, no one would have a problem.

[angrydude]

its really sad that this was entirely predictable once the refs were announced.

[HarlemHeat37]

NBA refs are just extremely incompetent in general..they need to invest in better training and get some more young guys TBH..kick a lot of these old dudes off..shit, I hear NBA refs make 6 figures, I'd do it..

[Killakobe81]

Howard just got fouled no Call ...you guys happy?

[TampaDude]

Damn...whistle much, refs??? :lol

[An Unbiased Fan]

What happened? Did the Celtics just get jobbed?
Didn't I tell you this would happen last night, bro. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Howard just got fouled no Call ...you guys happy?

Certainly a no-call for Howard makes up for Perk's ejection. :lol

[TampaDude]

Celtics have to get this down to 8 by halftime.

There ya go... :toast

[LnGrrrR]

Didn't I tell you this would happen last night, bro. :lol

I refuse to believe that the NBA is fixed, as it would ruin my enjoyment.

However....

You do seem to be right. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Magic have played better defense and played smarter on offense to start, but they're still a ways from closing this game out.

[TampaDude]

I refuse to believe that the NBA is fixed, as it would ruin my enjoyment.

However....

You do seem to be right. :lol

With Joey C reffing, you KNOW it's gonna get "interesting". :lol

:elephant

[Spurologist]

WTF is with this reasoning. What should get you a tech, should get you a tech no matter how many you have. That reaction is a textbook tech.

:lmao

That's the reaction of many nba players. You just can't do that shit in a game of this importance. That is one call that's never 'clearly' called. If you watch Perkins play, that's his normal reaction to almost every call that goes against him. By your logic, Perkins would never finish any game he plays

[TampaDude]

Expect the Celtics series to go 6 and Lakers vs Suns is going 7....Stern has lost too much $$$ with all those sweeps last round

:elephant

I think that's been Stern's master plan all along...two long series for the Conference Finals...there were too many sweeps and short series early on...gotta keep that $$$ coming in! :toast

[Cane]

Donaghy ftw so far. After the PHX win last night and with the probable W for Orlando tonight; he'll be 15-1 for this year's playoffs.

[hitmanyr2k]

There ya go... :toast

lol...they're in striking distance. Celtics better use Perk's ejection as a motivator and come out with some fire to start the 2nd half.

[D2Procon]

The same ref that ejected Perkins is in my sig. What a coincidence.

[Spurologist]

Certainly a no-call for Howard makes up for Perk's ejection. :lol

Who do you think the crew chief is tonight??? :lol

[j.dizzle]

Should Carter even sniff the hardwood in the 2nd half? hahaha damn this guy is utter garbage...Its like playing 4 on 5 when hes in the game now...Reddick & Bass >>>>>>>>

[NewJerSpur]

Should Carter even sniff the hardwood in the 2nd half? hahaha damn this guy is utter garbage...Its like playing 4 on 5 when hes in the game now...Reddick & Bass >>>>>>>>

He's got to stop taking jumpers.....even if he's open. The main asset he still has to offer is his ability to drive and make some sort of play at the rim: whether it be for himself or a teammate. But he's got to stop settling because he's hurting the team's offense.

[bostonguy]

Celts are falling apart. Now we may lose Perkins for game 6 which would be a devastating blow. Magic have a very realistic chance at making history here. :depressed:depressed

[Bob Lanier]

Story of the game: Kevin Garnett looks like Vince Carter out there. If he can play like an NBA player in the second half, the Cs can win this series tonight.

[lurker]

Man, if he gets suspended for that bullshit, I will have completely lost faith in the league. I'm not even a Celtics fan and I'm annoyed as hell. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Props to the announcers and halftime commentators for calling out the refs. About time we hear some direct criticism.

I hate the way Reggie Miller and others will say, "*pause* I don't know about that call right there..." when it's obvious. Just say it's a bad call! Yeesh.

Good point. But as a fan of basketball that call really pissed me off. This is another example of a ref thinking that it is all about him and how he felt. Fans didn't pay to see Ed Rush officiate, they paid to see the world's best athletes in their respective sport play the game of basketball.

No way the Bruins and Celtics both lose 3-0 leads. One is historic, but both? The odds are about as good as flipping a coin and having it land heads up 37 times in a row. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

they will rescind it.

That what's I'm thinking.

[TampaDude]

Perkins might be suspended for the next game if that was 7 t's! Wow.

I think it was. He had 5 Ts coming into this game according to FoxSports.

BTW, that leads all players in the playoffs, too.

Magic have to keep up the defensive intensity more than anything else....their offense is going to sputter at times, but the defense HAS to stay aggressive.

[TampaDude]

D2Procon...once is enough...seriously...

[TampaDude]

Someone's about to get banned.

[DJ Mbenga]

you are taking this reply too far

[rasho8]

yeah.. Ignore button is my favorite

[j.dizzle]

D2Procon...thanks for fucking up the thread

[hhml]

No way the Bruins and Celtics both lose 3-0 leads. One is historic, but both? The odds are about as good as flipping a coin and having it land heads up 37 times in a row. :lol

NBA: Where Magic Happens :eyebrows

[JamStone]

First time I've ever used my ignore list.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic getting beat on the double team/traps again.

[rasho8]

First time I've ever used my ignore list.

Me too, I never have had to before. But its pretty effective.

[Spurologist]

3 beats 2 everytime

[NewJerSpur]

That's what Vince needs to do more of.

[D2Procon]

Ok finished. Just wanted to bring up the point that Stern is in the game taking over the game.

[TampaDude]

Someone tell Kori to ban this fool.

[Spurologist]

^ :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

First time for me as well LOL..I didn't even know how to use it, I had to figure it out..

[NewJerSpur]

Lame flop by Jameer, great defense by Matt on Ray Ray.

[ffadicted]

I'm glad ESPN was showing me that slow ass replay as howard got an alley oop play

[TampaDude]

First time I've ever used my ignore list.

Same here...works pretty good...thanks! :toast

[JamStone]

How does one add another to their ignore list

[TampaDude]

How does one add another to their ignore list

It's under the Control Panel.

Edit Ignore List

[NewJerSpur]

Still rather have Vince taking that baseline pullup than fading away at the charity stripe.

[rasho8]

How does one add another to their ignore list

Copy his name, go to your control panel. Ignore list link. Add his name, hit save.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice shot by Rondo.

[cobbler]

Ok finished. Just wanted to bring up the point that Stern is in the game taking over the game.

Are you like 12 years old?

[NewJerSpur]

There you go.

[D2Procon]

Just trying to make a point

[hhml]

lol I had to go into user profile>control panel>edit ignore list, then type in the user name to do it. Would've been simplier just to have the ignore button.

[Spurologist]

Celtics really haven't made in the entire game yet.....Magic have been letting them chip away. I'm still waiting for that run

[NewJerSpur]

Garnett is a bad matchup for Howard, Vince still shooting.

[XFactor]

Whats up with all the stern pics?

[TampaDude]

Celtics really haven't made in the entire game yet.....Magic have been letting them chip away. I'm still waiting for that run

Don't worry...it's coming...
