I doubt he thought he'd get a technical for throwing his headband towards the bench; it's not like he threw it in the direction of the official. No idea why a ref felt the need to make that ridiculous call in that situation and then give Pierce a technical for frustration towards a call like that. Again, it's not like he threw it in the direction of the ref. I was stunned he got T'd up for that, especially at such a crucial part of the game.
i felt like the 6th for the graze on pachulia was a little touchy but i wasnt going to bitch about that. it wasnt anything that many players on both teams have gotten away with all series so why they had to call it now i dont know...
but the technical was ridiculous, what do you expect pierce to be glad or cool with the fact he fouled out on a questionable call? and as rondo show said, his frustration was towards the bench, no refs, its a little ridiculous.
bob delaney claims hes disgusted by tim donaghy, but who is the one who was really in bed with the mafia

the cavs are gonna eat them for lunch. I mean LJ will eat them for lunch.
I would have never said that before this series, but its truly pathetic the celtics are going 7 with a loser team who has no shot at the championship.
the celtics have played some basketball that may be as historically terrible as their defense was good in the season

He lost his composure and it could have been the difference in the game.
The foul had already been called, why throw your head band like that in such an important game?
Even if the Celtics win game 7 (which I would bet on) I have my doubts as to whether or not they'll keep their composure against a much most experienced, playoff tested Cavs team.
Maybe he took lessons from Sheed on how to have an emotional meltdown and throw his headband? I dunno.

im not so petty as to put it all on the refs, but there has been some legit favoritism cards played in the ATL.
now anyone who doesnt expect the home team to get some preference in a playoff series in the nba probably has never watched the nba playoffs, but the margin of preference has been much greater for the hawks in ATL than the Cs in BOS

it might be questionable, but really, what possess a player to grab another player with both arms when you are sitting on 5 fouls.... as a matter of fact, what lack of instict do you have to hug another player with zero fouls.
but anyway, the tech was a tech, we don't know what exactly Paul said to the ref, but i think he got the tech because he was slow in getting off the court.

No, we are really blaming the refs for calling a one-sided, **** game and making calls that haven't been made all year at the most important part of the game.Hairy Midget wrote:You guys really blaming the refs for a 66 win team going 7 games against a 37 win team in the playoffs?
But thanks for your concern, chief.

Throwing your headband while on the court, no matter where you are aiming it is pretty much always an automatic technical, even in the playoffs. Udonis Haslem got one in a series against the Bulls in a similar situation. Paul probably wasn't thinking about it at all, which was the problem.

well you can say there was grabbing, and i wont even say you were wrong because the replays i saw were pretty far out in terms of zoom, but it looked more like pierce reached over pachulia and tangled him up than that he grabbed him. i never argue a grab foul call, whether they get called both ways or not. i was a dirty defender but there are lines you shouldnt cross

Ok, you summed up how I feel in a very level headed way. Thank you, I'm way too pissed off to explain how I feel right now.
