rest assured he will show up soon enough hes always on here :eek: cant really gloat to much tbh though...cant really be happy with a "win" like that..i mean you can be happy that you "won" the game and potentially clinched the series with the "win"..but be real here...the refs totally botched the game here...i mean COMPLETELY..yea some missed free throws my vince sucked donkey big one..but the late calls and charges and the timeout delay..all adds up..and tbh again they (refs) were consistent the whole game with making calls against orlando in favor of boston....REMATCH imo LOL whatever..congrats on makin it to the championship boston...i only hope that in future games you can "earn" your "wins".

Ture, but Orlando still could have won that game. They made some dumb mistakes towards the last two minutes of the game. Good teams win despite bad calls.

Just wanna touch base on something here. Earlier on when Atlanta was pissing and moaning about the calls during the Magic/Atlanta series PattyR had this to say, Now when the Magic are on the other end of it hes on the other side of the fence hmmmmm.. just saying

PC69...ill address your post.

1.) first and foremost the things that Atlanta and I are stating are completely different and in no way shape or form can be compared.

now to clarify my points

*Was i really pissing/moaning for my home favorite team? absolutely not....i dont even really like the magic....obv im a 76er fan big time and right now rooting for the lakers in the entire playoffs so im not a homer for the magic...i mean i disagree with alot of the calls that were made and obviously PC your not gonna agree and not see eye to eye with this because you loved the calls ...so your not going to understand..which is fine..you dont need to. The calls were completely bullshit bro, i made a statement in the first quarter and the things in that statement continued to happen throughtout the end of the game.

*Whats the point of the image you posted of the shit i said to AtlantaFalcons? in it i addressed 3 questions HE had so why is it being brought up in the Celtics/Magic series? The questions i addressed were..

1.) Joe Johnson has more class than the whole magic squad

why this part of the convo made it into the pic doesn make any sense...nobody is talking about johnson or the low flying hawks so to bring that up ITT again is stupid.

2.) Home court means alot in the NBA

Again...im not disputing anything about homecourt since i responded to Atlanta Falcons post....so again why this part of the convo made it into the convo seems retarded and has nothing to do with anything anyone is talking about in the magic/celtics series.

3.) You get all the calls at home

Once again this claim has something to do with homecourt and the calls you recieve on your homecourt...so ONCE again it doesn really make any sense as to quote and bring it into this convo...now if it was intended to show the quote where i told atlanta "calls go either way, no excuses". That comment was in response to the question/statement he had about getting all the calls at home...obviously his statement was moronic and was about getting all the calls AT HOME...im bitching about the referees in making calls AGAINST the HOME team...in his post he was bitching about referees making calls AGAINST the AWAY team. So really my post means shit in this conversations and the stuff that was said between AtlantaFalcons and I about the Magic/Hawks series should remain there and not be takin out of context to try to prove some type of point.

btw the hawks/magic series was the most lopsided in playoff history....so calls matter a little less down the stretch and in crunch time..unlike the magic/celtics series where its far from lopsided and the calls in crunch time make all the difference.

Also to make a note to T1riel...i agree the magic could have won that game..in fact i think they should have won that game...but the charge call against redick was with under 2min to go in the game...gave the possession back to boston who already had a 5 or 7 point lead...i think its hard to argue that the magic could have won with calls that were made..i mean even if the free throw by vince went in...they fould allen and he makes his 2...3 point game and you end up with a overtime trying 3 at the buzzer again...sigh..whatever..PC...let my banter with Atlanta stay there...dont bring it to this series

well you can almost count on another lakers/celtics finals. how many times have they played each other before? it will be a great series. i like it to go either way. i dont think that the lakers will dominate. too much talent on the celtics and they are clicking on all cylanders. i will still be rooting for the lakers though.

uuugh this is painful to watch

celtics simply look like the better team, they make everything tough for us, theyre playing harder on defense, theyre hitting shots and we aren't, etc. good job celtics, you're making a very good team look very bad

Tbh I dont see how the Celtics can lose in the finals IF they play like this. Ten x better than '08 and fun as a die hard homer C's fan to watch this. 7 points 7 boards for dwight.. Some blocks.. But as a unit the C's exploited and dominated every Magic flaw.

So far not much competitive series in the NBA playoff, but I think the Lakers and C's will be the best the NBA has to offer and its gonna be good

Well it certainly was a disappointing start to the ECF. Its just one game so I am not overly concerned. The C's were definitely locked in defensively but I dont expect the Magic's poor shooting or turnover issues to continue throughout the series. I dont see them losing 4 games out of 7 to any team but of course I am completely biased. Of course my opinion is based on watching this team play 95 games this season (couple of preseason games and every game reg and post-season).

A must win in Game 2. I hate to have one so early in the series but it is what it is.


I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

I just hope I'm not in the same boat this evening with the Suns/Lakers.:eek:

The Fantasy: Suns will figure out how to play defense. Channing Frye will feel like himself after some home cooking. Amar'e will shake off all doubters and score 45. Suns will take both games in Phoenix to make the West conference finals at least mildly entertaining instead of the completely lopsided mess like the ECF.

The Reality: More of the same.

I will go to the bar tonight to drink and pay my respects to a great season by a team that was never supposed to reach this level in the first place.

So PattyR, you hate Lebron, don't like Pierce, but no class Iverson is your man? wtf. Seriously. I was an Iverson fan at the beginning, but the way he ended his career (well if its over) Im surprised anyone could be a fan of his anymore.

Let's go Celtics, 1 more win and into the finals. Lakers - Celtics should be at least be a good series.

No class Iverson? haha well once a true fan, always a real fan i guess. I still believe he has some class...the shit thats happened over the past year hurts more than anything and to see your childhood icon being put on blast like this sucks the big one. But ive been an AI fan for ~11 years and always respected the way he represented himself on the court, the crazyiest thing is what the media can make somebody out to look like...ive read every biography and autobiography of this dude..some of the things the media portrayed in the past was so inaccurate its not funny..but w/e i suppose.

basically boils down to i dont like to bandwagon and hop onto newer players and id rather support my childhood icon even in this tough sucky time. I would like to know for sure if his career is over or what i mean wtf man come on ..hes still got gas in the tank, just needs to get back on the court...deeply saddening to a big fan.

SIDE NOTE: Nice win for the Suns tonight...i expected the lakers would get the broom out and take the series in 4 games. I guess its alot easier to win when you dont allow 125 friggin points every game
