I’ll see your meltdown, and I’ll raise you one

I wanna slit someone throat….celtics epic choke job
hey pierce, why are you missing clutch free throw, ASAAAAHHHH ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME GOD DAMNIT?
ray allen, um. yeah. dude seriously. you are playing god-awful basketball in every aspect. its PISSING ME OFF
shouldve won this game by 30…and choked it away…GAME MOTHER FUCKING 7. god damnit son of a bitch, magic in 7, sorry.

The worst news from tonight is that the Cs came out with a lot of energy, looked like they came to play right from tipoff. And still they lost. To a mediocre team. Which was not playing particularly well. That’s bad news.
Doc: When you have a red-hot Eddie House available, you don’t keep playing ice-cold Ray Allen. Yes, Ray has been great in the PAST, but he is killing you now — why on Earth are you keeping him in? Did you have a stroke, Doc?
Paul: Live by the Paul, die by the Paul. Missed too many shots in 4th, and too many TOs.
Rondo: Really came to play tonight. Got too little help from his All-Stars, especially Ray. Also too many TOs.
Ray: Superbad. Twice as many TOs as baskets. Bad squared.
Oh well. One more. I’m sure the Cavs will be nice and rested, ready to make mincemeat of whichever team they face next.

Celtics had every opportunity to win this-no doubt. They killed themselves with their careless, CARELESS turnovers. But what do you know? Orlando+Stan Van Gundy=Foul trouble for the visitors. They couldn’t take advantage of the poor, POOR FT shooting by the Magic.
On that note…………..
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team that whines more than the Magic. They complained EVERY time down the court like they weren’t living at the free throw line all night. 31-13 deficit. TWENTY EIGHT FOULS CALLED ON THE CELTICS! FIFTEEN FOR THE MAGIC! This is the playoffs. It’s physical, but if you can’t call it LOPSIDED. I would understand the free throw discrepancy if the fouls called was close. BUT A THIRTEEN FOUL DIFFERENCE?!?! I guess the Magic used their “invisibility” superman cloaks. And I’m convinced Dick Bavetta ONLY has eyes for Perkins.

Good points, celtics came out with the right attitude, played good through 3 quarters as a team, and then choked, pretty simple.THE FUCKING CHOKED. and you know fucking what? the magic played about as bad they can. I dont even care that the refs sucked, celtics still shouldve won. magic missed a ton of free throws, shot like 30%…unnacceptable loss, and i seriously wanna fucking freak out…WHEN THE FUCK IS SOMETHING GONNA COME GOD DAMN EASY FOR THIS TEAM

Again take a good look at game 5. Celtics can and will play much better at home.

Some reasons why we lost:
1- 19 turnovers
2- 19 turnovers
3- 19 turnovers
4- Ray is now 5-30something in 3 pt shooting in this series… come on…
5- shitty refs as always
I’m so pissed, we could’ve beaten them by far and we’re down to game 7 AGAIN… what a shitty night.

Cs were up the entire game until late in the 3rd, maybe even 4th…and ray allen shoots 0-7, and? thats actually consistent with what hes done in this series
paul pierce is getting double and triple teamed, theres a reason hes not scoring 30 every night.
I dont even care, the celtics shouldve won tonight, and had to win tonight. there season is all but over. they have noone to blame for not getting rest but themselves. I dont want to hear another goddamn thing about being fatigued…ITS CALLED FINISH THE BULLS AND MAGIC OFF IN LESS THEN 7 FOR CHRISSAKES, you shouldve in both instances, but couldnt.

Celtics were burned off turnovers from the get-go and it had a lot to do with why they lost. Most were careless, it wasn’t what the Magic were doing.
They could have ended this game in the first half and lost a 9 or 10 point lead at the half.
Ray Allen’s getting plenty of open looks and missing. Nothing was more evident of that then his WIDE open miss from the 3 pt. line when there was 15 seconds left in regulation. He needs to be more aggressive. He only shot one technical foul. That was his only appearance at the line. I’d like to see him go to the basket and be aggressive, not adjust shots for misses and shoot floaters. I want to see head fakes and layups and two hand slams. He’s not getting the benefit of the doubt with the “strips.”
The Celtics came out strong in the first, then disappeared at the end of the second, reappeared in the third for a few minutes, tried to play stall-ball, then collapsed in the fourth. They didn’t exactly have a picture perfect game. I don’t consider “being up” by one point a good game. They were trying more to hold off the Magic then they were to actually running the offense. I thought the defense was there for the most part.
Dwight Howard had way too many offensive rebounds.
There’s plenty of room for improvement. I don’t expect the Magic to be at the line 31 times and only get called for 15 fouls either. That shouldn’t happen in the playoffs. Unfortunately when a coach whines about calls in a veiled way to the media, he’s going to get them.
I hope the Celtics win on Sunday, but what more can you expect if they don’t? They’ve fought more than any other team has given their injuries which have been more devastating than any other team has experienced. You can’t berate their efforts anymore. They’re trying their hardest with what they have and what’s called on them. They have no depth and their STILL playing playoff basketball. As a fan, I couldn’t be more proud. Hopefully Ray will mimic his Game 6 from the Finals last year.

Can we trade Ray Allen, please?
I think there is nothing more in the tank with this guy. I love Ray Allen, but five consecutive HORRIBLE games… no, THAT is a problem.
I’m not sure why Ray Allen has lost his stroke but this is the worst I’ve ever seen him play in his WHOLE career.

Its over on Sunday Goodguys 112-Magic 100. This is a classic see-saw battle, homecourt is the key. Nighty nite.

In other words, according to you:
Don’t say that the Cs are choking and/or playing badly, even though they are, because we were once WORSE, and also, we’ll be better next year. Probably.
Did I get that right? ‘Cause it’s a really stupid thing to say, fyi.
And btw, the Magic played very badly too. Not “all they got”. And we still lost. It was ugly, and we’re saying that because it’s true. Now please allow us our commiserations, mr superfan.

What’s funny is that, despite winning, Magic fans are complaining on their blog about not getting enough calls tonight.

31-13 FT ADVANTAGE WHEN THE MAGIC SHOT OVER 20 THREES. 28 FOULS ON US, 15 ON THEM. BAVETTA DID WHAT HE WAS TOLD TO DO AND FORCE A GAME 7. REFS COST THE CELTICS THIS GAME, PERIOD.

Ray put the C’s up for good with a key three in Game 5. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that erased. If Ray doesn’t hit that, Celtics are out of the playoffs.

Oh, please cut the crap. Celtics had a chance to win this game but what happened…
1. Careless turnovers.
2. Ray Allen sucking… this whole series.
3. Big Baby getting way too confident and thinks he can do everything on his own. Pass the damn ball, Baby.
4. Losing a 10 point lead and actually having one of the worst second half teams in the NBA beat us IN THE SECOND HALF is beyond belief.
I hate seeing Rondo performing well but lacking the teammates to show motivation to win the game. Pierce was hot… for a bit… until he missed a shot and two clutch FTs (I officially hate Pierce at the free throw line during clutch time).
I might need some sleep to calm down but this was an ugly loss. I love the Celtics and the reason I’m so pissed off with them at the moment is because I KNOW they can play a lot better but they don’t seem to want to do that unless they are playing with urgency. I didn’t see a hint of urgency during the second half, to tell you the truth.
Game 7’s seem to be the only games that the Celtics will play well in because they KNOW they have to win or else they are officially done for.
Don’t get me started on Ray Allen. I know he’s an amazing player and he’s saved the Celtic’s asses numerous times, but that’s the past. All that won’t matter unless we win another banner. Right now, he’s disappointing me immensely (except for that nice 3 point shot to put us in the lead in Game 5). Ray Allen, I will pray for you for Game 7.

The Celtics and the Magic both played ugly. I think the Celtics played uglier than the Magic personally. The C’s gave them so many extra possession with turnovers, the Magic may have shot thirty-something percent from the floor, but if you keep getting opportunities to score, good things will happen i.e. fouls-free throws, fast breaks. In theory the Magic can play better, but have they really played GREAT for 48 minutes in this series? They have yet to prove that. The Celtics have shown that they can dig deep and play. The Magic won the battle of turnover, fast breaks, fouls, offensive..Regardless of shooting percentage, how can you NOT win?

*offensive rebounds

oh, and im so furious about the celtics, how could not be? the magic were falling apart in every way possible ,all the pressure was on them, none on us….now all the pressure is on us….booo

They’re at FULL strength. Why wouldn’t they play consistent?

I have loved everything about Paul Pierce’s game during his career in Boston…except the repeated chokes at the free throw line.
For fuck sakes Paul. How can you be such a deadly shooter and such a crumbling bitch at the line? If you didn’t get a lucky bounce last year against Cleveland, Celtics might not be champions right now.
What a shitty night.

Yes, Perk was great. Except for his 5 TOs.

what makes me so mad about this game…well lets see
1. they came out with the right mindset, they looked pretty focused and ready to take the series in orlando
2. orlando shot horribly. atrocious.
3.perkins played great. and for all the nimwits in the national media who keep saying dwight howard should get more touches, or try to say he got more touches last night…well youre all incompetent jerks. dwight howard can not score 1 on 1 on perkins, at least he hasnt this series, literally can count the number of times on one hand
4. dwight howard did earn his points and play the right way for him, someone fucking gave him the perfect speech, because he got all his offense on put backs and dunks, overall, fuck I think kendrick perkins has played him to a stand still despite stats
5. ray allen is offically pissing me off, or the celtics just dont talk about injuries, which is very rare for nba players, who will talk and make known about there injuries every chance they can.. i mean what the fuck? he plays well, we win, our inability to push a 9 pt lead to 15 cost us this game, and we had the chance through 3 quarters, and it pretty much came down to turning the ball over and ray allen just flat out not coming through.
anyone who blames glen davis or even mentions he didnt play well should get their brain examined, first of all because hes played too phenomal to mention it, secondly because the goddamn refs clearly had it out for him from the get go.

He had I think at least 3 quick travel calls and an offensive foul that are non calls many times. Hey, you win some, you lose some. A few calls didnt go his way. He really held his own against the so called most dominant big man in the league.
Scal had a pretty good game too. That pass from his back was bird-like…almost…well not really, but it was pretty sweet nonetheless.

All due respect to the Celtics for battling through injuries and fatigue but if they want a chance of winning on Sunday, Doc has to sit Ray Allen the fuck down on the bench.

Yes Allen sucks, what to do?
Lets think, in regular season when he also struggled shooting they found a way!!
More penetration in early minutes will give him more space for comfortable jumers. Thats all!!
And Doc knows it, and even told it in postgame. ‘He has to touch the ball more’
So GIVE THE DAMN BALL TO THE JESUS !!!
(by the way this could help THE TRUTH)
Speaking the trades, NO for Ray out from Boston.
Buy Gortat!

when did I say it was paul or rays fault for injuries? no, no i didnt. and first of all, they fucking did this last season at full stength. its incompetence.
I dont care about injuries as it concerns to last night, the celtics shouldve won, period end of story. they found a way to lose…its one or the other for this team, find a way to win when youre down and out, or flat out find a way to lose when theres really no way you should lose..
Oh, and how does leon powe (overrated, sorry) make ray allen only have 5 pts? and shoot bricks on wide open looks and turn the ball over 4 times, and not forgivable turnovers either

RE: Ray – or have him set picks more, like Tommy suggested.

Lol. first of all, shut up…secondly the magic wanted to lay down and quit, perk said it himself, but the celtics pretty much wouldnt let them. they play too nice. and as far as KG, he will never be the same player, his knee injury is much worse then you wanna know

Agreed Nora. I’ll be there cheering them on. I am completely spent and frustrated myself, but what am I gonna do-give up on my team? Hell no.

Wow-alot of rambling went on after I crashed last night. Everything from “trade Ray” to “KG’s knee is alot worse” …lol. Chill out people, please…

I’m refering to DEPTH in general. You said it’s the Celtics fault they’re in the position they’re in when it’s more than just a bad game or an off night. Lack of bodies and increased minutes has a lot to do with why they’re in a seventh game situation. You’re being irrational and acting like the Celtics are supposed to waltz into the Finals despite their injuries. They aren’t going to win the trophy this season, get used it and stop overreacting. Since you have an answer to every criticism you have of the team, maybe you should be out there picking up minutes. I’ve never seen a fan berate a a DEFENDING world champ team that’s STILL in the playoffs despite only having one leg to stand on. Root for the Cavs since they’re perfect at full-strength…it’s easier for you that way.

Thx LakerHater-good to know I’m not the only one tired of it. If Chuck doesn’t post any cheerleaders right away, these bad boys will perk you up in the meantime: http://sportsbybrooks.com/17-year-old-simona-halep-is-shot-jaw-dropper-23512
