Celtic players were just on the news blaming the refs.

The refs tried, they really did. But I can see where the Celtic players would complain. The refs were supposed to give the game to Boston, but for some reason the Cavs still won. It must be frustrating to know that they were supposed to win with help from the refs, and even after the refs game them the benefit of the doubt every time, constantly bailed them out or just made bad calls against the cavs, Boston still lost. It also has to be frustrating for them to get away with fouling all game, and then they get called a couple times for it. Honestly though, what case do they have to complain about the refs?

Yay! We won!

25-13 on free throws but they are missing their 4-13 from the 3 point line.

Read these quotes from Doc Rivers.

He sounds scared

Afterward, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was still fuming over some calls he felt went against his team.

"Tell the refs to do the interview. They were just as important," an angry Rivers shouted at a team official as he walked back from the postgame news conference.

I've never been able to figure out why people reference foul shot attempts as ref bias. We heard it in the first round from the Wiz and their fans too. One team took it to the basket fairly often and one was a jump shooting team. You don't draw a lot of fouls against a good defensive team if you're just shooting jump shots.

What's over looked here is that KG camped in the paint on defense almost the entire game. There was a time he pretended to come over to help double team Ben Wallace as if that was his man he was supposed to be guarding. Get real, Ben Wallace has never demanded a double team, it was obvious he was camping the paint and never got called for the obvious 3 second violation. How many times were Boston players bailed out by questionable foul calls, when that never happened for the cavs? How many times did LeBron generate contact without a foul being called? Or what about the ball clearly bouncing out of bounds off KG's shoe but the Celtics getting possession? The refs did all they could to give the game to Boston. From no calls to wrong calls, Boston more than got the "benefit of the doubt". Them complaining about the refs is laughable.

We need just for LeBron to have good shoot vs Celtics of Boston and be happy we'll all.

I agree with you. The NBA wants a Celtics Lakers finals and it has been obvious from day one.

not to mention 90% of the time KG has the ball he travels, he takes like 5 steps. Seriously go rewatch some of his plays

KG can do no wrong in the refs' eyes - despite camping out in the lane constantly, traveling on a lot of his moves to the hoop, and his constant hacking that almost never gets called. I used to respect him as a player - now I just despise him. The fact that the Celts are even complaining about the officials at this point is completely ridiculous.

 

[Primetime]

Something tells me that LeBrons performance last year against the Pistons where he exploded in the fourth will be nothing compared to what he does in Boston. He's got them figured out, and now it is over just like it was over for the Wizards and everyone knew it.

to be fair, he did get called for travelling 2 or 3 times yesterday.

Questionable offensive foul call on Pierce and the West goaltending on Allen were both questionable calls that, if the calls go the other way, would have given the Celtics a chance.

 

[Splitz]

KG knocked Ben Wallace out of the post 3 times and was never called for a foul. He also committed a blatant offensive foul on Wallace, yet Ben got called for the foul. The only call that could be disputed on the Celts side is the Pierce offensive foul towards the end. That said, I think there were enough blown calls on each side to call this even. Doc Rivers should focus on being a good coach which he is far from instead of blaming the refs. If his squad is so elite then they shouldn't be in a position to have refs decide a game anyway. Dude was a terrible coach in Orlando and he is still a terrible coach. He should give Thibodeau his paycheck.

I had the strangest thought last night. Getting Kendrick Perkins in foul trouble could be the key to game seven. The fall off from Perkins to anyone else is huge.

Agreed, we had them so out of wack with the fouls that Doc had to fumble around his rotations which I'm sure made his head spin.
