Boston Celtics Hosed as Referees Dictate Orlando Magic's Game Five Win

It was evident from the start of the game that the officials were calling this game to extend the series.

The Celtics weren't able to get into any kind of rhythm because of foul trouble.  

Two minutes left in the first half, and Eddie Rush called Kendrick Perkins for a technical foul.  

The problem was that Perkins had walked away and was not trying to upstage the referee.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but it was Perk's second and an automatic ejection. The Celtics were left without their anchor in the middle and so started a slow dissent and a Game Six in Boston.

Ray Allen either can't handle or respect J.J. Reddick enough as he continues to dominate bench play. 

Doc Rivers's stubbornness toward change cost the Celtics an opportunity to close out the series.

The Celtics penchant for stockpiling veteran players on the bench may be their Achilles heel.

Tony Allen's play is deteriorating the further the Celtics get into the playoffs and Marquis Daniels still hasn't shown that he can contribute.

There are no answers for the likes of Reddick and the newly rediscovered Brandon Bass. This may be the season the "Big Three" show that their championship run is over.

Orlando's pick and roll play has confounded Boston's defense as they mismanaged rotations.

It’s a shame that the referees did not allow the Boston Celtics to compete.

I am sure the media will talk about Orlando's ability to stave off elimination. But unfortunately the Celtics weren't allowed to play their game, and one by one the injury bug took control.

Dwight Howard pulled on Pierce’s problematic shoulder and in a scrum under the basket Glen Davis was stunned by a Howard elbow.

Marquis Daniels also suffered an inexplicable injury.  The Celtics have fallen and now the distant roar of the Bruins' collapse has turned into a cacophony in their ears.  

Foul trouble and bad calls made game six possible in order to fill David Stern's pockets.
