2nd Round: Detroit vs. Orlando - Series DET leads (1-0)

First off, Just because Ratliff knocked the ball away, it doesn't mean Turk didn't touch it last... He was out of control when he got the ball..

Obviously, the shot was late by Billups but if the clock was moving and running down, who's to say that Stuckey doesn't take the shot instead?

Can we talk about Dwight Racking Sheed across the arms in the 1st half that should have been Dwights 3rd foul that wasn't called?

SVG is the perfect coach for your guy's team..

I don't care how your Orlando Tragic fans want to look at it. If you ever wish severe harm to players regardless of being angry over a game or not is just plain ignorant. I've seen enough of it. Its a sport, grow up these people are human being and don't deserve harm wished upon anyone for any reason ever.

You are right, i'm just a little steamed over the loss....obviously those comments are not justified.

Oh... and

Reported for personal insult. We don't like being called the Tragic...

Yeah some calls were crap for you guys, but there were some horrible ones for us too. And if your complaining about the 3 pointer, we won by more then three, so it doesn't matter in the end. And don't bring up momentum, good teams take back the momentum regardless of the situation.

welcome to the world of a cavs fan

You guys are completely forgetting about the mental standpoint. You go from up 2 (possibly 5) at the end of a quarter and that **** happens. You go from up 5 to down 2. Its just not fair

um, Detroit fans aren't trying to justify the Billups 3, pretty much everybody admits it. In case you missed it, the Orlando fans are complaining about various foul calls in the 4th.

of course they're only concerned about the fouls on magic players and not the questionable ones that caused Rasheed to miss like 9 minutes of the 4th Q or fouling McDyess out.

It is pretty obvious based on every non Magic or Piston fan that the Magic were repeatedly screwed tonight.

PUBLIC WARNING

Stop the name-calling, everyone. Talk about the game, and the game only.

The audacity it takes to defend this game is unfathomable.

Good for you. Report me! My reputation on these boards is good enough that I'm not going away especially not over something so stupid!

Whatever....

We got a bad break, we are used to it....

We just have to take care of business at home....and tonight is a good indicator that we can...

I'll be the first Magic fan to say Hedo was NOT fouled. He was dumb, and tried to get a whistle when he should've gone up strong with it and tried a put back. He might've tripped, but either way he flung his arms in the air trying to get a call (which by the way, as a Magic fan i'm getting very annoyed by, i understand trying to get the call but he's doing it way too much).

But i'll also say that it looked to ME, like Rip tripped over his own feet, and fell down. But the ref didn't notice it until he saw Rip fall down in front of him and Keyon right behind him and assumed it was a foul (probably should've been a no-call since he didn't see it though).

Da-Met go back and read my response on page 75-76 about the McDyess call. Unless you can tell me why that's a foul, that was the correct call. Not sure about the Sheed call though.

Yeah, they obviously want Boston/Lakers....

Nah, there's no conspiracy here.....just a poorly officiated game.... it happens.....we just have to accept it and move forward.

Oh well. Down 2-0. No chance of winning the series. I'd actually root for Detroit over Boston.
