Wow. The 2007-2008 Boston Celtics my end up just being another footnote in Lebrons legacy. He is putting together a hell of a resume.

Honestly, I can't agree with that. We played well (with the exception of Ray and Baby), Doc coached well, we had momentum and then the refs stepped up big for the Cavs. That was bull.

I blame it all on that little fat munchkin David Stern. He orchestrates this BS. NO ONE can tell me the refs arent involved if the games are close. If its a blowout, its nothing they CAN do but in a close game, they make sure certain calls go a certain way. Especially for their new golden boy Ms. Lebron James

Boston 13 FT's.
Cleveland 25 FT's.

Add in the three ridiculous calls at the end:
1. Charge on Pierce.
2. Goal tend + 1 that they didn't call for Allen.
3. Non call on that travel.

I'M SO PISSED ABOUT THE PIERCE CHARGE, WHEN LEBRON WAS BASICALLY REACHING IN AND NOT IN POSITION FOR A CHARGE.

What is there to review? You don't think the "front office" wanted this? Do people really think Donaghy was the only one? Personally, I think it is impossible for him to be the only one.


This is exactly what I, and every single damn person I knew who watched basketball, said when that "scandal" broke out. A complete and utter joke.

I totally called this: Let it look like the home will run away, start calling the game fairly...or even slightly skewed towards the away until they get close, but not too close, then bring the riggery back to keep the home team in front, and then, maaaaybe, if the away team pulls it off, it's "dramatic," and if not, then game 7 and more $$$.

I agree wholeheartedly. Blatant bad call after bad call. I'm really surprised that the Celtics did not react and pick up technical fouls. I wish Doc would've picked up 2 T's in the 2nd quarter and got ejected...could've maybe rallied us better in the 3rd quarter and calmed the refs down a bit.

The NBA is fixed. Boston will probably win by 30 in game 7.

:noway: :noway: I know. Clearly, it's Doc's fault that Cleveland played good D and didn't let the Cs get their shot off. Fire the bum. :nonono:

Ha, ha, we went for a two at the end. What a pathetic play that was.

If we lose to these cavs at home, that would be the biggest embarrasment in the history of this franchise playoff series wise...

Does anyone know what the longest scoring streak of the game was?

It's complete trash, and it's great to hear Tommy go off now.

The last thing the Celtics wanted was a game 7 against James. This will be a tough game to win because I cannot see James letting his team lose .

I know people are blaming the refs but why is no one mentioning that had the celtics not missed 15 shots in a row they would have won? Blaming the refs just shows what a sore loser people are.

Cavs played a better game and deserved to win. That is all there is too it.
