Celts@Magic Game 5 Thread

[NewJerSpur]

No problem, I was kind of being a with my comment, sorry.

No biggie, no offense taken.

Magic got spanked in game 3 and they have to keep up this level of play for a 3rd AND 4th straight game or risk questions being asked about why their effort came so late in the most important series for them in the playoffs imo.

[Killakobe81]

I originally called the C's in 6... I'm obviously sticking with that prediction, these past two games not withstanding.

You sound like me...

Of course with the next game at home Lakers and Celts SHOULD win ...

JVG is funny he juust send pressure is = but now says he wonders how they will come out ...


IF pressure is = then they should come out the same ...no?

[Fpoonsie]

God, Vince is ing terrible.

[florige]

Oh my goodness. That guy Hayes has to have the worst free throw form in the history of the NBA. I wonder why coaches can't fix that discombobulated mess?

Gonig to be a big task for both road teams....especially given that the Suns haven't won in LA.

Each is playing like favorites at the moment though. Making for great playoffs.

[Killakobe81]

Why foul?

Celts should risk no further injuries ...

[Spurologist]

"That's a real breakdown"



Davis' best chance on defense

[Sisk]

Are concussions like that, a huge deal? This isn't like the NFL. I see Davis coming back.

I honestly am not sure. I'll be the first to admit I am extremely unfamiliar with concussions but I do know that if you have another one before you're fully healed the repercussions can be horrific. We'll see him back most likely, but just saying.

[NewJerSpur]

Great win for the Magic.

[j.dizzle]

LMAO Carter, cant even in make a shot when they're up 20. Just stop playing son

[Killakobe81]

I think Celts and thgeir fans should treat Game 6 like Game 7

[TampaDude]

It's a BLOOOOOWOOOOOUUUUUTTTTT!!!!!

[NewJerSpur]

I'm not sure they can win another 2 and complete the backdoor sweep, but they've kicked it up these last 2 games. The effort has been tremendous.

No Pierce wink and "well take care of this at home"?

If the Magic come all the way back and win the ECF, people will be throwing themselves off buildings in Boston, especially after the Bruins got backdoor swept after being up 3-0 just a couple of weeks ago.

In hockey I hear it is fairly common. But it has yet to happen in the NBA. So I agree with your Bostonian statement about them jumping off tall buildings.

There's the term.

I was thinking the same thing. Suicides would skyrocket haha

A riot would be inevitable. Still a ways to go, but things are getting very interesting......it's going to happen at some point in the league, will this be the year: stay tuned.

artest missed some time with his. i think he was out 5 min.

Celt fans ...is it too early to mention the curse of Rasheed Wallace?

Rasheed wears Philly Flyers hat (he is from Philly) to the pre-series press conference the day after the Bruins got backdoor swept.

Boston sports talk was pissed but whne they went up 3-0 it got quiet ...now?

I see it happening.....Celtics play has slowly declined and Lewis has finally woke up. If Carter gets his vagisil treatments, it will happen.

Well, other than the Flyers this year, the only other teams to win a series after trailing 0-3 were the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, who beat Detroit, and the 1975 New York Islanders, who beat Pittsburgh. The other 159 teams that won the first three games in a series all won them.
