*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Actually KG fouled him.

 

Chalmers should get the game ball! Oh yeah, and the Refs! For sure!

 

Not a tough guy, just not a crybaby.

 

Of course by watching the post game stuff on espn you wouldn't have known Miami won because it was non stop Rondo.

 

So the C's just lost a game in which Rajon Rondo looked like Ray Allen.


Sweep?

 

Dude is taking baby steps give him a break. I was happy to see him be aggressive.

 

Baby steps? Stop it. I don't buy into this clutch gene BS you do. He's taking big shots before. He's made them. Today should have been a game winning layup from Lebron.

 

looked like leebron out there imo. played damn near the entire game and a huge triple double.

 

Should've?

Your right. But he still took the shot when he had a good look.

Do you guys think if Lebron drives that the whole Celtics team wouldn't have collapsed to the rim? Wrong. He had a good shot and he rightfully took it.

 

Two things to the ESPN crew

1. Ok I'll give you that Rondo had an amazing game.

2. It's ok to admit the Heat played well too. You would think Miami lost.

 

You have to be! You call everyone a pu zzy or a f ag and you know damn well, and I'm not saying anyone would just kick your ***, but no way you can do that to anyone unless you're one tough mofo because it would become an instant fight!

 

This, and I'm frightened to be in complete agreement with you.

Sure maybe he could've drove but he still lifted up and took a shot he makes quite often with so clean a look.

 

It could of and should of been an offensive foul.

 

Paula Puerce and Ray Allen are hurt and just gave major minutes. KG played crazy minutes down low. Rondo just played 53 minutes of out of his skull basketball AND they lost.

I don't see how they have much to muster Friday.

 

Not sure why I'm seeing Heat fans of all people blaming the refs. Refs were clearly in favor of the Heat. 6th foul on Pierce was an absolute laugher.

Celtics will be swept. Might win 1 game. If you can't win with Rondo dropping 40 shooting J's like Ray Allen, the series is already over.

 

What call?

 

OK so what should have been called when Wade was fouled first by Garnett? I'll tell you! The offensive player, who was hit first, gets free throws!

 

How is that a foul. If it was a harder foul i'd understand. Wade was flying through the air as Garnett rises to attempt to block the shot, and Wade move his foot into Garnett that is shown to be a LITTLE tap. Really you are trying to call that an offensive foul? Then everyone flying through the air should have a offensive foul be called on them...

 

Scatter brained.....damn refs.

 

Dude you are DELUSIONAL. No way Pierces 6th foul wasn't legit...

 

Well, I did not like a lot of no calls! The Celtics game plan was to foul and foul hard when possible. All within the game unlike the Indiana series but some of us clearly stated that the Heat did not deserve to win when they miss 14 FT's.

 

Thats much better than calling people gay and p ussy

 

If we lost it would have been about the line. The play where Lebron picked up a clear path foul and missed both free throws and then nothing on the possession stung badly. You have to come away with points in a clear path situation.

 

I agree with R&R Express there. That was a bad call. Maybe Rondo fouled him from the back but Pierce didn't.

 

"you people" and your refs...

Miami won because: Chalmers was huge, and Wade was a beast driving the lane.
Celtics lose because: Garnett was HORRIBLE, they are old as fk.


No refs did nothing to change the outcome, sadly the losing team has to blame something or someone round here

 

Rondo is why this team is where they are! He is one tough player! Skilled beyond belief even though he has disapeared in a few games. He is carrying them

 

Pierce's 6th foul looked rather obvious to me.

 

Pierce knew what he was doing, and how many fouls he had left. A smart player wouldn't put him in that situation. Pierce just didn't make a smart play there.

 

Did I call u that?

 

Wade karate kick on Garnett.

 

That's exactly right! I called a bunch of bad calls by the refs during the game but when Miami had last possession I said there should be no excuses if they lose when, at that time, they had missed 12 FT's.

 

It should of been no call at all really.

 

Did I say you did? Or were you calling me scatter brain?

 

Spoelstra,

"Sweep the leg!"

 

I agree. The refs are going to call that a foul every time but I just don't like the call.

 

The refs giving you calls doesnt matter when you forget how to shoot a FT.

Boston is physically and emotionally drained at this point.

Oh and ESPN's coverage is laughable, I truly hope Bill Simmons swallows a bottle of pills.

 

It was a blatant attempt to create space. Doesn't matter how "little" the "tap" is.

 

Holy shat, Battier played 46 minutes.

 

That's not really specific enough. The and 1 play where Wade gave KG a cold stare as he got up? If so, I disagree.

 

No one does. I'll give you that it could be Rondo, or maybe even Garnett (he grabbed wade with both hands before Pierce). But you don't go down in the paint knowing the ball handler is coming.
