The team that out played and out manned your Celtics is being robbed by the very refs you can't help but cry about.it's called making free throws and not choking. if the magic make their free throws they win in regulation. they have no one to blame but themselves.
You win, you freaking troll.

and do less of this 
so they won't leave the arena like this: 
and so they can do more of this 
thepostman wrote:Refs sucked both ways tonight inconsistant as always, as a life long magic fan i will say this it is the turnovers and ft' s that are killing them this series nothing more nothing lessI know man. It's just easier for me, in the moment, to bash the refs, because when there is still a chance for the Magic to win despite all the things they did wrong, it makes it hard to not blame the refs in the heat of the moment for me... But Hedo and Dwight missed some key FT's, and Dwight continues to hold the ball in places where guys 6'8 and under can strip it every time... and it's just ridiculous. I know he is young and inexperienced, but cmon, take care of the ball.
ToTheLeft wrote:What a classless dunk by Gasol. The Magic had given up... the shot clock had run out, just run the clock down. I would have fouled him harder if I was Pietrus.I just watched the replay. If the Magic had given up, then why were Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu both going over to defend Ariza when he caught the ball? If they had given up, then why did both Rashard Lewis and Pietrus speed up to get to Pau, not knowing he was going to dunk the ball, as soon as they saw Ariza make the pass? Pietrus was going full speed the whole time to catch up to Gasol, as soon as the pass was made. You don't put in that kind of effort to play defense if you have given up, watch the replay. this means one of a few things to me. pietrus wanted to play defense is obviously a given with the effort he made to catch up to pau. secondly, he either was going to commit a flagrant foul rather pau was going to attempt to score or not, or he knew pau was going to attempt to score and decided to commit a flagrant foul once he realized it. either way, it's a dirty play.
