were lost by the refs. Thats why you saw fights...etc. By not calling fouls, contact and getting caught up by the Atlanta craz the refs became the 6th man on the floor for Atl. They lost control of the games. The players know **** wasn't fair...so that's why all hell broke loose. Clocks not working, bull excuses. Fines for silly gestures. Anything to get us off our game. None of this combination of **** has happen in any other series.....or add this up in all the other series conbined. Please.

Refs sucked no doubt, but they did not determine the outcome of the game. The Cs had a 10pt 4th quarter lead and they laid an egg. Plain and simple.

I didn't say lost game as in win or lose.....I said lost "control of game"

Kefa, I agree with your premise. For me, the tone was set when Josh Smith AGAIN got away with a "block" that was more of a body check, while the Cs got called on a few ticky-tack fouls on both ends. If that's not enough to keep a team walking on eggshells and playing tentatively, I don't know what is.

And that "fight" was B.S. You can tell how ridiculous the refs are when they T'd up Zaza and then KG and Cassell, and threw a T on Joe Johnson just to keep it "even." Bunch of dumbasses.

It started in Boston with the body block on Paul that was allowed. The refs did nothing. Last nights game which went out of control will lead into the next game by probably us losing Perk and maybe (I hope not ) Garnett. The Refs this whole series have let the Hawks beat us up even in the wins at home and have been harder on us foul wise. They have IMHO not been even handed yet even in victory towards the C's.

We lost because we let Joe Johnson cut through our defense like a hot knife through butter.

...and because Mike Woodson is out coaching Doc.

The Celtics lost because the Big 3 are "choking" under the pressure of playoff basketball. Totally being outplayed by Johnson, Smith & Hortford.
