When Smith blocked Rondo's shot from behind crashing into him and there was no call, I knew we were in trouble. No flagrant was fine. He did get the ball. But the contact was huge.

Stern was there and this was done with his approval. The Celtics will not be allowed to embaress another team.

This is OK. We need the playoff experience. We need to get tougher. We need to decide whether Sam or House is our backup. Rondo needs to be seasoned a bit.

Anyways, there is a lot of money involved and the money team, coached by Stern, has an important NBA agenda. The Celtics must learn to respect that agenda.

You are pathetic... Yes, Stern hates money and wants NBA to lose money by forcing the Hawks through over the Celtics, who are every NBA-related party's wet dream.

WAH WAH!!! It's the NBA's big conspiracy to bring down one of their most famous franchises in favor of one that no one could give a hoot about!!!!

Such a joke. Listen the refs are gonna give Josh Smith a ton of leeway on a play like that, he's one of the best shot blockers in the league. Oh and it was pretty much a totally clean swat anyways.

Anyone who thinks the NBA has some big conspiracy, there is one HUGE fatal flaw in your belief: SAN ANTONIO HAS WON THREE OF THE LAST FIVE NBA TITLES. SAN ANTONIO!!! I'm Stern and the NBA are making tons of money off San Antonio being the finals almost every year.

Can't wait to hear the game 5 excuses.

How about NBA is rigged to make the Celtics-Lakers finals come true?

There won't be one, Atlanta can't run a one man offense effectively on the road.
