WOW that Charge on Pierce was awful, Im not saying the Celts wouldve won if it was a block but wow, and the Cavs fans say Lebron doesnt get call lol what stupid fans they are

I was never, EVER, one to call shenanigans for every Celtics loss, but after this whole postseason, and this round across the league in particular, I'm beginning to question things.

Felt like a totally scripted game from the get-go.

maybe if boston wasnt a jumpshooting team...

Worst. Officiated. Game. Ever.

Or if the referees knew how to call a travel, or a block. These blown calls were garbage. Yes, I know the Cs most likely would have lost the way they were playing even if the refs made the correct calls, but for the sake of the game, make the right ****ing call!!!

people say a lot of things about the refs and most of them are unfounded but..

the cavs shot 33%. they had almost the same amount of turnovers we did so that's not a point either.

they won the game at the line, simple as that. without all those phantom calls they barely crack 60 points.

This.

I thought the refs significantly affected the outcome of the game once all season (at Denver). This was the second game where the refs significantly affected the outcome of the game.

How many points did the refs gave them? 10?

We didn

Saw this one coming from a mile away.

You just knew this was coming after the C's owners publicly defied David Stern regarding their pre-game pyrotechnics. Plus any game 7 is good for the league, so it was Stern's perfect opportunity to make a call or two.

The THREE BLOWN CALLS in the final 2 minutes were by far the most blatantly fixed calls I've ever seen.

Dick Bavetta needs to be put in a nursing home after he called that "charge" on Pierce. Seriously those refs should feel dirty right now. What a disgrace.

Seemed like more ordinary bias to me. When the home team has one of the league's top marketing stars, this is what happens. Pierce vs. LeBron = Lebron getting 80% or so of the calls

And the missed goaltend was a tough, honest mistake.

Yes, to extend the rounds before we get to the finals.

Yeah, there's one thing Stern would rather have than a Celtics - Lakers final - to have the Celtics safely eliminated before there is any danger of a 17th championship. The same thing that apparently has been a main goal of his for about 20 years.

We were screwed as soon as jon barry said the Cs would win in pregame.

WE SCORED 69 POINTS!!!!!



That is why we lost. Two dodgy calls helped prevent an unlikely win, but we have not scored all series.

Because LeBron isn't a player the NBA is trying to market?


I don't believe in any NBA conspiricy, but I'm tired of hearing that Stern wants nothing more than a Celtics-Lakers final. How do you know? Last time I checked, Stern is human. He may very well not like the Celts, he may very well rather have LeBron vs Kobe. Nothing he's done in his career has led me to believe he wants the Celtics to succeed. People talk about the ratings and the bottom line, but Stern makes over ten million dollars a year, OVER TEN MILLION DOLLARS. He's not hurting financially, he doesn't need the extra money, if he would even get any at all.

I'm not going to sit here and say the Celts deserved to win, but yeah the refs were atrocious tonight. I almost stopped watching after the charge. KG was able to get away with his typical assortment of holds and fouls on rebounds too. This game was horribly officiated from the get-go.

Seriously, get rid of Stern. He blows, get a fair commish. I really don't think thats too much to ask.

This whole idea that there's an agenda to have a Celtics-Lakers final is just theory. The FACT is that Lebron tonight attempted more FTs than the Celtics did COMBINED. It was insulting to witness this crap.
