"Official" Eastern Conference Playoff Thread

[LyricalRico]

^ Yeah, Stan has really been outcoached this series. Orlando also has shown that they don't have a go-to scorer. Carter just isn't that guy anymore. Could the Magic be interested in Gil?

I'm shocked at how badly the Magic are gettin' whomped on. I thought they were a steam roller of doom after those first two series'.

As to Gil, I'm sure they'd at least have internal discussions about it and if they don't call, it's because they were spooked by the sticker price. But they have suffered a humiliating defeat here that has exposed them as a team that ultimately isn't built to get it done.

I'm sure they'll do something.

I'm soo glad the teams I hate the most have been bounced from the playoffs...and in such deserving fashion as well. Suck on it Cleveland and Orlando....

















b*tch.

I remember when the Lakers took a playoff record of 11-0 into the finals against the Bad Boy Pistons. They left with a record of 11-4. People, myself included, overestimated the Lakers and underestimated the Pistons. I did the same this year with the Magic and the Celtics. Celtics look good.

Yeah the Celtics have peaked at just the right time.

Hopefully this leads to Howard becoming a more serious player. He smiles way too much. I know he's having fun out there, but STOP SMILING AND LAUGHING. You don't see KG laughing and smiling on the court? Or Pierce? Or Rondo? It's all business for these guys.

The Magic could come back and win this series. The Celtics looked pretty tired in that OT game. If the Magic win their next game, the will be in the same situation as they were last year, down 3-2 to the Boston Celtics. Still, the Celtics have an opportunity to make adjustments going into game 5.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Vince Carter has to show up, though.

[Benjammin]

There have been some seriously poor technicals given out tonight. Some of these refs hopefully are refereeing their last game of the playoffs and frankly should be subject to fines for their poor judgment and handling of these situations.

+100 on that

I'm not a big C's fan and have to say Perkins got hosed. Neither
T was really justified. If they suspend him, instead of Ed Rush....
a waltonism, that's horrible, will be in order. It was as bad
as the notorious Sac-Lakers game.

Could the C's be the first team to 'blow' a 3-0 series lead?

[closg00]

Make your predictions now, who takes game-6? I will stick my neck-out and say that Boston will find a way to win tonight.
