Agree Magic shouldve still won with the lead they had. But the officiating was atrocious.

Officiating was not bad at all. All Magic fans do is cry cry cry.

They probably should have won if they didn't let a 15 point lead get out of hand and if they did something better than run an iso for Hedo — oh by the way that would have been called a charge but the referees usually let the teams play it out in the final seconds of games and let small things go.

Give proper credit for Prince for recognizing that play. Magic maybe should have went with a pick and get a good look for Howard down low

As for atrocious officiating… yeah it sucks when Pistons players are struggling with staying out of foul trouble. Orlando would have won this series if they made their freethows?

Realize that if Pistons win this series… they are only prolonging their suffering. They are setting them up with a 3rd straight let down in the ECF.

Yeah, Pistons had multiple players in foul trouble. What the hell is this guy talking about?

Both feet were well inside the restricted circle, not even a tip of one shoe outside of it. It would have been impossible for that to have been a charge.

Also, there's no way the referees would have "let the teams play" had that been Kobe, D-Wade, or Lebron, but ... I look at it this way...

Hedo has got some work to do before he gets the that kind of call in that situation. We've got some work to do, and I don't doubt the Magic can get it done.

It's tough to deal with, but the Magic still have gained a ton of experience from these playoff games. The games are alot closer than they have been in the past years, so hopefully next year will provide a stronger Orlando Magi
