NBA Playoffs ECF: Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics

[pantherfan49]

I wish the refs would T up Howard as easily as they T'd up Perkins.

If I were the Czar of the NBA, I would put a stop to Van Whiny and Orlando this offseason. Their constant bitching about officiating is really hurting the NBA's credibility.

As much as Orlando whines, Celtics flop just as much. I can't stand when Celtics come off screens and fall the ground like they've been shot after getting a nudge from the hedge.

But his penalty might have implications beyond Wednesday's game. After entering the game with five postseason technical fouls, Perkins would be at the limit of seven -- provided both technicals stand upon league review -- and will be suspended for Boston's next playoff game...The NBA said it would have an answer Thursday about Perkins' status for Game 6.

Article about the suspension of Perkins and if T's are upheld (I don't think the 2nd one will)

Flopping and whining are not one in the same, though I do think the Celtics do their fair share of complaining.

Orlando is a joke. These are the defending eastern conference champs! But you wouldnt know it by how they act. We're supposed to believe this team wants to win it all? They dont even act like they've been there before! They've won 2 elimination games to keep from going home and now this is a series? Now they're doing something? LOL. Celtics should finish these dudes off tomorrow in Boston. We dont need a team full of tinmen who live and die by the 3 pointer representing Eastern conference basketball in the NBA Finals. No one wants to see a repeat of these bums laying down for Kobe & LA, just happy to be Eastern Conference champs and to be in the Finals.

Funny. Didn't see this talk when Lebron and the Cav's completely laid down to the Celtics.

I would rather see Celtics Lakers but i can't bring myself to pull for them. They are the biggest drama queens in the league. You touch them and we have to have a 15 minute break so the trainers can check them out. Plus if the Magic come back we can at least say we lost to the Eastern Conference Champs.

I'm glad the C's are going to lose this series.

They are old cocky f*cks.

They thought this series was over when they went up 3-0, hell even when they went up 2-0, when Pierce tweeted "get your brooms out".

They are too old to withstand the talent of the Magic.

[King Taharqa]

This series is over. No team has ever come back from being down 3-0. Magic wont be the first. Doc Rivers is a far better coach than Stan Van, Celtics are a tougher team than the Magic and it will show tomorrow night.

The Orlando Tinmen gettin blown out by 20 late in the 3rd quarter.

[Dpantherman]

well. the magic is gone. looks like the Celtics are headed to the big dance

the 2 best teams in the East squared off, and in the end, the better team(Boston) is moving on to the finals.

I still think Boston is a squad full of actresses and queens, but congrats to them. I'm assuming it will be the Lakers the Celtics face. If so, the C's are really the only East squad(out of Cle, Orl, Atl, etc) that pose a threat to LA.
