I think Cleveland showed last season how good that is for ratings.

The league would move more merchandise though.

I know people are blaming the refs but why is no one mentioning that had the celtics not missed 15 shots in a row they would have won? Blaming the refs just shows what a sore loser people are.

No, there were a handful of fouls the Cavs committed on the Celtics in that run that weren't called by the refs.

I still expect LA and Boston in the finals.

Oh, please. I have had enough of this! We are not going to lose to a crappy cavs team at home!

It is Lebron James not MJ for crying out loud. Kick his ass at home! Kill these floppers!

amen

The Spurs are what killed the ratings, not LeBron.

Refs made the calls for the cavs in the perfect situation, everytime we were on a run there would be some type of cheap call. I'm sick of the refs dictating the game, last time i checked people went to see the player's.

A crappy team that is now tied with the celtics. A crappy team that almost won game 1. A crappy team the celtics barely beat game 5.

The cavs are better than you think. Either that or the celtics are not as good as you think. We saw what James did to the pistons last year and if you think that game 7 is a given for the celtics you obviously have not watched a games this series.

I agree wholeheartedly. Blatant bad call after bad call. I'm really surprised that the Celtics did not react and pick up technical fouls. I wish ]Doc would've picked up 2 T's in the 2nd quarter and got ejected...could've maybe rallied us better in the 3rd quarter and calmed the refs down a bit.

Seems to me every celt on the floor and bench had a better view than you, yet not one complaint. Are the refs that terrible league wide or do they save it only for when your teams playing? If you make it to the finals I'd be willing to bet the conspiracy favors the Pistons. I understand Wizard fans complaint because that's all they can do is talk, but the Celts do have some talent.

Doc knows we were shafted by the refs, after games 4 and 6 in ATL and now tonight he had had to stop himself in postgame interviews before he said what was really on his mind.

Doc prolly should have got one when he was on the court after the charge on pierce.

If we lose to these cavs at home, that would be the biggest embarrasment in the history of this franchise playoff series wise...

Couldn

nba is rigged. away teams are at a severe disadvantage. thank goodness we are at home for game 7.

Quoted... FOR **** TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Seriously, Lets go celtics. Just get them in game 7. Which I do expect. I expect a win. Not a BLOWOUT, but a nice comfy win. Then the same thing will happen, with detroit. Go to 7, but yet it will be even closer. Who knows though, we could lose, and seasons over. But I am not going to be a negative nancy, too many of those when we went against the hawks, and you were wrong. So lets be positive, I am. GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it's league wide. Isn't it obvious? Have you been watching any of the playoff games this year? East and West. And it's been this way for years now. The NBA needs to go to younger referees, pay them more, and have them appear at press conferences (just like players and coaches do) after each game publicly answering questions to their calls, with replays of them readily available. Only way to fix this $&!%. But no that would take away Stern's control.

The jazz-lakers series has been ridiculous also

NBA is clearly rigged. It is time for senators to step in. I really don't like David Stern. He is a con artist.

How about this? If the celtics go 4-15 instead of 0-15 they would have won the game. Do the refs suck? Yes but you guys act like the celtics are the only team that has issues with the refs. EVERY TEAM has problems with the refs. get over it.

The game was over around the 6 minute mark in the 2nd. After West hit that 3 at the buzzer most people on here knew the celtics were not winning this game.

the NBA truly is the most corrupt league in sports.

I have never seen a game so badly officiated. that pierce "foul" on LJ was complete BS and my 91 yr old grandma could even have made that call right. bad eyes and all!!!!

JS got a laugh out of it.

If the refs dont take care of us at home I'm going to be surprised. I think we'll have to just flat out play terrible to lose.

What's obvious is that the worst team in the playoffs took you to 7 games. Now a crappy Cleveland team has taken you to 7. You should be afraid, be very afraid. Best record should have blasted the Hawks in 4 and Cavs in 5...9 games, not 14.
