CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

I think the Celtics come out strong, however, making us all nervous for the majority of the game. Even though we took home-court, it feels like the pressure is on us after the disaster in Game 2.

I'll be there. I'm thinking of bringing a sign that says "NBA: Where 5 on 8 happens"

This is a bit over the top. The Magic had a 37 to 25 free throw advantage in the last game. Pierce got into foul trouble early which effectively took him out of the game. There's bad calls both ways. No one's favoring either team.

Our players should elbow them all night. Maybe they will even eject their players for it, like they did to Artest.

Win or at least hurt somebody
AJ got 6 hard fouls to make Rondo suffer

The NBA does not want Orlando to win so they won't.

This just in. Rashard will breathe on on Rondo and be suspended for game 4.

#48 Scott Foster - Strangely enough, he was assigned to the game that Dwight was suspended for. He proceeded to T up Stan, and eject Hedo for headbutting Dalembert's elbow. Dalembert remained in the game after his sick display of hot man love.

After Rafer apologized..... Doc Rivers said he disagreed with the suspension......
House called him a coward, and that the punishment was justified.
Karma needs to kick this piece of human filth right in the groin.

Wood: Road team fouls 65.6% , Home team fouls 34.5%

To be fair, Rafer apologized to his teammates and not House.

I'd like to see someone kick Rondo's butt sometime, he's nothing but a punk.

Come on Ray. Don't be a flopper like Pierce. Don't make me hate you too

Whistle happy for the Celtics. I hate the nba. Worst league in the officiating caegory. Mmmm no fouls for us gotta love it

Rondo is a disgrace to Basketball!

We are scoring in the paint and they are settling for jump shots, if they keep doing it we are gonna win this one!

Wow they call offensive on Celtics marbury, I must admit I was suprpised

Once the 3 balls start falling, its over for Boston.

Did someone forget to give this officials instructions that Celtics must win? It just seems wrong when share of calls go our way too.

Boston seam to be doing a lot of crying. I love seeing that

Boston should never cry, there flat out dirty.

CAN't COMPLAIN ABOUT THE REFS SO FAR!!!!

Eddie scrubhouse has come in the game now...how does this guy make those crazy shots? Lol...
You see em shaking his head like "yeah what!" running up the floor...please someone deck him on a screen...

Scalabrine's 3pt efficiency so far in this series makes me want to puke.

Scott Foster is the worst ref in this game, but so far the award goes to Leon Wood

Honestly the refs have been on our side this game .. Please stop complaining about them.. It actually feels good for once to get the benefit of the call

It seems like the refs are a little tentative to call out Orlando this game. Orlando's bringing the effort and the refs are punishing the C's for screwing up. I love it!

If things stay the same, I can only imagine the Celtics fans' outcry after this one.

Dwight got away with goaltending on that one.

AJ OWNS RONDO!

I think this is just a simple case of veteran experience (AJ) out classing a young guy (Rondo) tonight

I love seeing Kevin garnett's face during this game, I hate that guy

Magic's crowd puts Boston's crowd to shame.

When was the last time Eddie house missed anything?

Scal took the contact there against Lewis without flopping. ::clappyhands::

Here goes Pierce flayling his way to the line again.

Can we please attack Marbury, he can't play defense.

None of pierce's free throws count...he always steps over the line

Perkins is a punk!

Once again Boston trying to instigate something. At least the refs saw this one.

Boston will go through this series without a suspensio or ejection which will be the biggest joke in sports this year.

They have a lot of foul trouble down low, Davis , scalabrine, Perkins all have 5

Keep thrashing them... Pile on the pain! >_<... I want the Celtics to suffer

Pierce needs the refs love, cos he ain't that good.

They should just have the refs go up to pierce before every Boston possession, ask him if he wants to go to the free throw line this trip, and if he says yes, take about 10 seconds off the clock and send him straight to the line

Wacabrini is a joke too.. He's a wannabe defender like Vujachci for the lakers or how ever you spell it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA they have to ride Eddie houses soon to be short lived shooting streak to stay in the game.

The refs doing their best to allow Boston to win.....as usual

Can't complain about the refs cause we shot 10 more FTS than they did. We got our share of calls.

Thow in the towel Doc cos your team will need rest for game 4 hahahahaha!!!!!

Feels good to pour it on, but it only counts as 1 win and all we're doing is pissing the Celtics off.

Bill Walker would've had dunk of the year if that went down.

Do u think Perkins will be suspended.. Is it as bad or worse than the other plays which resulted in suspensions ?

He wont be suspended because he was called for a flagrant 1

He won't be suspended, he didn't decapitate Pietrus.

Someone please make a gif of KG looking like an stupid **** pointing at his watch and then a frame showing the final score of the game.

Great win, wonder how the media spins this one to favour Boston.

If there is any integrity in this game at all Perkins should get suspended. An elbow compared to a slap? Come on

Going by the rulebook? Yes, that was (a very good covered up) intentional elbow to the face. Knowing the league they'll probably won't suspend him because he's on the Celtics..

I'm still willing to bet Perkins see's NO punishment for elbowing MP in the throat.

Any Boston player with any suspension? Of course, not!

I love how Barry can't find anything good to say about the Celtics

Doc looks disgusted I love it.

I'm quite sure I saw a Boston fan accidentally elbowing a Magic fan sitting next to him while reaching for his cell phone is his pocket. Should have been suspended..

I believe Dwight's blocks scared Rondo tonight. He was very passive. Way to go Dwight.
