Epic comeback or epic collapse? Does Perk get to play? Does Eddie Rush get another playoff assignment ever again? So many questions.

Finally scored tickets to a game so I'll be at the Garden for this one. Not sure I'll get as hoarse as SVG but I'll try.

Eddie Rush will be taken care of properly... and by that I mean his crewmate last night Joey Crawford will break his kneecaps for stealing the show from him.

The T's should get rescinded, but Stern always backs the refs unless it's something obviously egregious (the ball throwing to a fan thing, Crawford challenging Duncan to a fight a few years back, etc.), so they will stand.

My money says Perkins is back. There was absolutely no reason he was ejected last night.

Game 5 should be remembered as one of the lowest points for NBA officials. Just absolutely, awful, awful officiating.

Yet the league will defend them to their core. Amazing. The day the NBA drops AARP members as their officials, the game will become much better.

I think the NBA will overturn one if not BOTH Technicals on Perkins... Rondo did the same thing just ask the official why the charge was called on him if the call was right or wrong that's all he did and he got a Technical for it... Joey Crawford should be ashamed of that game last night... If Perkins plays I expect very energetic team and crowd tomorrow night.

I don't think the 2nd T will stand so Perkins should be back. Will be interesting to see if Davis will be cleared to play. If niether are there the C's will be in some trouble. But I think even if they both are back the C's are going to have to hope the Magic don't shot that well again. If the Magic are hitting 3's like the did last night then they will take game 6 and if they do win game 6 I don't see them losing game 7. Should be a great game though hope you have fun gorocks.

It's really interesting to see how things play out leading up to the game, does Davis and Perkins both play? Just one? Neither? If neither play, I think Boston is in some serious trouble because Orlando will be shooting free throws all night long.

I don't know why, but I think Orlando pulls this out, and then loses on their home court for game 7.

I think it is simple. If Orlando shoots 3's above a 35% rate they will win the game.

At least the ref ran over and caught Davis before he hit the floor again. Could have been worse...
LMAO at Doc wanting Davis to get up and hustle back, then the sick look on his face when Davis staggered past midcourt.
I can't believe both Boston teams will blow a 3-0 lead. Not happening.

NBA just announced Kendrick Perkins' second technical foul last night was rescinded, meaning Perkins available for game 6

That's good to hear about Perkins. Not only did he miss half of last nights game, but he would have missed game 6 as well. Let's see if he can keep his mouth shut for another series if they advance.

No idea what will happen, very intrigued at this point. It's an epic comeback if anything, because the Magic were playing like SHIT early in the series. However, they still have a long way to go. I'd still put my money on Boston, but I'm definitely not as sure as I was after they went up 2-0.

Great looks like Bavetta & Bill Kennedy are possibly part of the crew for game 6.. I sure hope not, Kennedy has held a grudge on Doc Rivers ever since Rivers questioned Kennedy's sexuality (in which it's been reported that he is gay) and I am sick and tired of 71 year old Dick Bevetta doing meaningful playoff games!

As long as Joey Crawford doesn't see the court again...I will be happy. Seriously, does this guy have info or pictures he is using to keep his job????


He needs to find his way to a home and lay down.

If I'm Boston, I'm still not sold in Dwight Howard. He has been scoring a lot lately, but most of it came from lobs and broken plays. I say play him straight up and play the 3-point shooters hard. Make Howard prove he can score 3, 4, 5 buckets in a row, as he still isn't polished offensively.

Perkins, although easier said than done just has to be careful. Orlando knows about the 6 Technicals and will probably do everything they can to really get under his skin and force him to do something to get a technical or two. Perk just needs to play strong and physical and not worry about the officials probably watching him with a close eye.. If we can get Ray going, then Rondo will go .. then Pierce and so on. We NEED a big game defensively from Tony Allen like he put on LeBron and just stay in front of Jameer and JJ when he is in the game.

The officials are the reason for Howard's play. They let Boston bang him around early in the series and then the games got called tighter and he became more effective. They just need to not worry about him and stay out on shooters. Can't let the Magic shoot 52% from 3. Howard CAN NOT beat you by himself--never seen him do it in his career, not sure if he could pull that out of his ass now.

Hate to say it, but the "Magic" is finally up for Orlando.

Boston by 21.
