The NBA wants a Detroit/Bostons conf finals so dont worry. Making it 7 games is part of their plan.

Oh, please. I have had enough of this! We are not going to lose to a crappy cavs team at home!

It is Lebron James not MJ for crying out loud. Kick his ass at home! Kill these floppers!

This is so scripted. Expect to see a lot of home cooking on our side in game 7.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson

Dickerson: "Wally what were you guys able to do here that you couldn't do in Boston."

Wally: "Bribe the refs."

Or do they want Kobe vs. LeBron in the Finals more?

I think Cleveland showed last season how good that is for ratings.

Yes, exactly what I said on another thread. The perfect "dramatic" script.

The league would move more merchandise though.

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.


No, there were a handful of fouls the Cavs committed on the Celtics in that run that weren't called by the refs.

The Spurs are what killed the ratings, not LeBron.

Refs made the calls for the cavs in the perfect situation, everytime we were on a run there would be some type of cheap call. I'm sick of the refs dictating the game, last time i checked people went to see the player's.

A crappy team that is now tied with the celtics. A crappy team that almost won game 1. A crappy team the celtics barely beat game 5.

The cavs are better than you think. Either that or the celtics are not as good as you think. We saw what James did to the pistons last year and if you think that game 7 is a given for the celtics you obviously have not watched a games this series.

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.


Seems to me every celt on the floor and bench had a better view than you, yet not one complaint. Are the refs that terrible league wide or do they save it only for when your teams playing? If you make it to the finals I'd be willing to bet the conspiracy favors the Pistons. I understand Wizard fans complaint because that's all they can do is talk, but the Celts do have some talent.

Doc knows we were shafted by the refs, after games 4 and 6 in ATL and now tonight he had had to stop himself in postgame interviews before he said what was really on his mind.

Doc prolly should have got one when he was on the court after the charge on pierce.

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