Indiana just gave away home court by playing like they were figuring out how to play.

Magic score the last 11 points, and Pacers miss all types of shots the last 4 minutes of the game. Both teams looked bad.

Atlanta up on Boston.


Do Rockets fan cheer for Tracy McGrady and hope he finally gets his first playoff series win?

So does he have to sit out the next contest?

Also bumped the official.

How is Jason Collins in the NBA? He has 0 NBA skills. And somehow he's on a playoff team. Just more evidence in support of the argument that your roles players are little more than random interchangeable parts. But Collins may be the worst player in the entire playoffs and maybe the entire NBA.

I've been trying to figure out too Pasacals. It's unbelievable.

In Rondo's defense, Marc Davis sucks as a ref.


Based on precedence of past Rondo offenses (tossing of Hinrich, hitting the head of Brad Miller, etc.), Rondo will not miss time.

Yea but he also tossed a ball at an official earlier this year and got tossed what? two games? He will get one, minimum. Maybe two.

I think if Rondo tamed his volatility, he'd lose a big part of his game.

Rondo is an idiot. I'd think he has to be suspended for at least a game for making contact with an official.

I think he gets one game suspension.
Based on his past, he should get two.

Rondo should get suspended for the bump, but what a horrible call to make by the official. Loose ball scrum on the floor with 3 seconds on the shot clock. Rondo has every right to be pissed because it killed their opportunity to steal that game, but the bump is inexcusable. I do wonder what exactly he said on the first technical though because that was a hella quick call by the ref.

Rondo admitted that he deserved the first technical, so debating how quickly it was called is moot - besides, it doesn't take a dissertation to earn a T.

Furthermore, the fact that the ball is loose on the floor is no defense for fouling another player in an attempt to secure it. There were two fouls by Boston there, and the Celtics got away with the first one.

Being on the floor doesn't give the other team permission to maul you. Not sure Brandon Bass got a whole lot of ball when trying to get it from Josh Smith. Bass looked like he grabbed more head than ball. I would understand no-call in that situation, but a foul isn't a horrible call.

The technicals were easily the right call.


But again, as I mentioned above Marc Davis is a horrible ref.

Pacers get their first win.

Still, not that impressive until the 2nd half.

Absolutely embarrassing 2nd half performance from the Bulls. Inexcusable.

Paul Pierce and the Celtics showed up tonight, especially in the 4th.

Josh Smith's injury will be worth watching. I still think it will come back to Atlanta 2-2, but Boston took control tonight.

Anyone catch the Pacers beat down the Magic to go up 2-1.

Not thinking we'll see a 6th game in the series, but it still might go longer than the Heat Knicks.

Agreed. The Bulls are not the same team with Rose and Noah out and Deng playing with a torn ligament in his wrist.

I don't wish injuries on anybody, but I can't stand Noah. It sort of pleases me to see that ***** lose.

Stepped on someone's foot driving to the basket during a fast break and twisted his ankle. It was pretty nasty. He tried to return but was gimping up and down the court.

I'll be very surprised if he's ready for game four unless they shoot him up with painkillers.

In the other game to determine who will face Miami, the Celtics beat the Hawks, who were without Josh Smith.

This is a good series to watch.

Might as well just forfeit the rest of this series so no one else gets seriously injured.
