Celtics Are "Punks?"

Honestly Thats Garbage, were a tough team that plays tougher defense than most teams in this league…Dwight needs to stop being such a baby and take hard fouls like a man, its basketball, dont be such a little girl. We were just playing hard.

I can’t wait to smoke them next game. They should be grateful they got 1 against us because that’s probably the only one they’re getting.

Maybe this guy missed Rondo getting annihilated… TWICE. I also get a kick out of the “questionable officiating” claim. Maybe he had his TV turned off during the second quarter. That was fun. The refs were calling fouls on the Celtics before the ball even passed halfcourt. I thought that we got some breaks in the second half from the refs, but not many. How about the breaks that Howard got? Twice he was allowed to take a shot at a Celtic after foul. Not flagrant fouls, mind you. Run on the mill, across the arm hacks. Oh well, we get to see them again. I wonder if they are aware that when you leave Ray as wide open as he was in that game, that you usually lose… badly.

Well if your going to foul, foul hard dont let them a chance at an and 1 play. Its not exactly rocket science. If they were flagrant they would have been called.

why is this garbage on our site, let him write it and share it with the other 2 fans of that mickey mouse ball club

It seems odd. The guy calls the Celtics punks and goons, and then a great team. Maybe in his opinion, every great team employs punks and goons. (And I thought the Celtics weren’t supposed to have a bench.)

what a joke…

Howard was like, “How dare they foul me!!!”

throwing elbows on legit fouls.

It is just amazing how us fans see things; is it not?

Rashard Lewis grabbed KG as he was going for an Alley Oop…same thing Scal did to Howard but KG was a man about it unlike Dwight Howard. These Magic fans are an absolute joke. Wait till they go on their second half collapse like last season.

Both teams played hard and fouled hard. That is nothing new. Howard just got hit harder because he goes up the hardest and we can’t allow 3 pt plays. Rondo got hit the hardest though on the night.

The refs were fine. Of course not perfect — they never will be. But the game was decided by the players and we missed the shots that we needed in the end.

Bowen and Artest are goons. Scal and Pollard are pretty above the board with their fouls. They do not try to sneak in cheap shots.

I won’t say anything other than this…

Howard was called for just two three second violations, yet I know he hung around the paint by himself much more often than that. Consistency is just something I find lacking in officiating, the young ref did not earn any brownie points with me for his late calls, for(once) or against(several) the Celtics.

the name of his blog is “believing in magic”

do i honestly have to say anything else? it would be like if celticsblog were called something like “pot of gold at the end of me rainbow” or something.

the orlando magic’s legacy is being completely owned in 1995, and being introduced in houston while “it’s a small world” blared over the intercom.

when penny hardaway is the second biggest superstar in franchise history, you have issues.

scalabrine is goon? priceless!

 Can Magic fans say collapse? Enjoy now, you will do the same as last year! COLLAPSE!!! ;D

we’re all entitled to an opinion but if my team won, I’d hesitate to complain about “questionable officiating” when my team got the benefit of 33 fouls, and 44 free throws, and the Celtics got 21 calls, and only 26 free throws. Two major Celtics contributors, Garnett and Posey, fouled out when the most fouls against any Orlando player was four.

I honestly got the feeling that the only reason Howard got upset was because the hard foul came from the lowly Scalabrine. If it had been Garnett, Posey, Pierce, Perk or even Pollard, he probably wouldn’t have reacted at all. He certainly didn’t get grabbed and thrown down.

I really hope we see them in a playoff series. It wouldn’t go more than 5 games. From what I heard on the radio the only punk in the game was Howard, every altercation he was involved. That being said I like Howard and think he is a great player. I’m just going with the facts on this one.

If Scalabrine and Pollard make us look like punks because they simple kept Howard from getting And 1’s, then this magic guys perception of “Punks” is really offset, maybe from being picked on as a child, I don’t know…As for Howard, he was the punk; Howard never was clotheslined every foul was a wrap em’ up bear hug to keep his massive arms down, he must have understood what was going on, yet he was retaliating as if we were trying to personally attack him. None of the fouls ever sent him to the ground; he’s such a big guy, that if he were to think those fouls were hard he needs to question his manhood.
Other than that, Nelson and Howard are two of my favorite none Celtics and I don’t want my perception of the Orlando team to be effected by a blogger who probably has never personally experienced what Celtics fans went through last year.

Its hilarious to read a recap from a guy who was OBVIOUSLY not at the game.

The Refs gave Howard EVERY CALL. Rashard Lewis was a waste of $100million. The only reason Pollard came in at all was because the refs seemed determined to get KG out on fouls.

I was there, sitting right behind the bench. If there was a single “punk” on the floor, it was Howard! I love the kid and think he is a beast, but for people who complained about Shaq’s elbows for years, wait until they watch this kid. His elbows fly in such a dangerous manner.

As for your praise of how he handled it…. LOL, now I KNOW you weren’t at the game. THat little shyte threw a huge elbow and then shoved Perkins after the play…. but somehow Garnett got called for a tech even though he was 20 feet away.

It was a great game, but the Magic did not earn it at all and should have lost.

small market thinker.

And a very expensive amusement ride at that. Our old “Vanilla Thundrdome” has a ticket price of three million dollars a year for the next three years. Anyway, the outraged Orlando blogger’s brayings reminds me of that old ditty we used to say as kids: “It takes one to know one.”

Having punks and goons is how you win championships. Ask San Antonio. ;D

I agree with you tb727, let them go through the upcoming rematch and we’ll be seeing lots of changes. This is still a brand new team and they are already smokin’.
