If Devos doesn't spend the MLE, use Hedo as trade bait and get some real men in here this offseason then I will care no more about this team winning than he does.

It's a standard pattern for the Celts to get hammered by the refs in the first half, then have fair-to-friendly refereeing in the second. I don't know why.

Learn how to play some 1-on-1 defense for god sake. The guy is friggin 6'7 and Dwight isn't even close to defending him well.


I was watching that and hte announcers were like "oh well Dwight doesn't want to get his fourth foul" and I was thinking wtf theres 5 mins to go in the game who cares if he gets his fourth! I hate watching Orlando in the playoffs. They always choke.

I feel numb. This game, it is bottom for me. I have hit bottom and now have found the needed perspective to step away from the NBA. Forever.

Good night. Now I need to avoid the news out here in Beantown until July. Ugh.

One more thing. KG is the biggest punk in the history of the NBA. I hope he never plays another game for the rest of his life.

There is no positives in blaming the refs. Its easy to go blame the refs. You don't improve as a team. We loose this series I can see Otis already thinking well we could have won if we had a call here or there. Maybe if Jameer is playing we win this game. Were loosing this series and Boston doesn't have KG or Powe. We just play well late in games we win the series 4-1. We already beat this team 4 times. Yet we are loosing 3-2.

The sad thing is that I'm not even shocked or really that pissed.

Just once again disappointed. Because this stupid ass FAIL team does this to us over and over and over and over.

One of the dumbest 60-ish win teams I've ever had the displeasure of watching in the playoffs.

I hope to God we win this series. But right now I've got to vent, because if the Magic are going to do that to us we deserve the right to bitch about it for the next couple of days. Un-f-ing-believable.

Ok, so I AM pissed. More pissed than I've been with the Magic in a LONG time. Like, years. This is just rock bottom guys...only the Tragic would lose a game like this.

As for the refs - the only call that f-ed us was reversing the 24-second violation call.

The crawling into a shell and blowing a lead in front of a national audience in one of the most important games any of these guys will likely ever play? That was all Magic baby.

Stand and cheer everyone, for your Orlando Tragic.



This game set us back about 5 years. We are officially the joke of the NBA at the moment. Most of it our fault too. We blew it. This has been a resilient team but I dont even know how they will react in game 6 to this debacle. We stoped playing again, and then Davis goes all Olajuwan on us again, a huge joke in itself. Marbury out of nowhere lol. They are lucky ass team and well we lost our testicles tonight. We blew it.

We dont have the guts to win a close game, ppl are scare to shoot, we needde to blow it uup in the third when they werent scoring, we always do this. We can still win this series but we need to score late in games, we dont have one go-to guy at the end of games who can create a good sht or draw a foul, we could have been shooting free throws, they had 4 team fouls with 5 min left. This is very frustrating but our home crowd needs to make sure we get to game 7, they will be huge. The calls didnt go our way, yet the truth is that we were the road team and thats what hapens, the air ball was a terrible call. jump ball to make it fair.

No ORL, you got it wrong...
It is a foul on Lee, since his shirt touched the glorious hands of a Celtic player. We'd be fortunate he isn't suspended for next game...


LOL

But I'm serious, though. An intentional foul before the ball is inbounds has always been two shots and the ball. I didn't get that wrong, did I?

is anyone else really frustrated with dwight's complete lack of offensive moves?? he keeps going to that 10 foot sweeping hook and misses awfully. Big baby is doin everything we wish dwight could do on the offense. He owned us once again.

I do want to point out that Orlando can't blame the refs for this loss. They just can't. The blames all theirs.

i feel the same way. i was so angry after sunday, but right now im not even that pissed. its like i expect this time happen. In fact I was thinking about it the other night, and theres a good chance I will die before the magic ever win the championship, and I'm only in my 20s. We are cursed.
