    Well his head does look like a ball...

    Contact was minimal...

    It is Dwayne Wade...

    Heat must get back to finals...

    Hornets get number 1 pick...

    Rondo fluke game.

    The Heat will take game 3 and this series won't go any more further than game 5.

    That no call also led to a fast break at the other end as Rondo was still recovering from getting bashed in the face. Four point swing. Wonder how much the refs had riding on the game?

    Did Pierce foul out again?
    He seems like the biggest star i know that fouls out the most

    Expect the same kind of ish today with game 3 Spurs-OKC. League will make sure this doesn't end in a sweep and give 40+ FTs to OKC.

    6 of the last free throws were intentional fouls in the last 20 seconds. Minus those, there is still a 12 free-throw difference. I only watched the 2nd half and thought most of it were legit.

    Though I would like LeBron to win his first ring this year, I'm not a fan of superstars getting so many free throws. LeBron and Wade has an argument that they drive pretty much nonstop, unlike skinny jumpshooters (Kevin Martin). I SMH when I see Kobe or KD with 70+% as many free throws as the opposing team combined. To be consistent, I'm curious of tonight's game also. If anyone has videos of unearned free throws, I'd love to look into it. Even though I watched most of the game, my mind was sort of on Diablo 3. If I didn't watch any part of the game and simply saw LBJ with 24 free throws, I would SMH.

    He was trying to milk it as well, but they should have called it. On that jump ball roundup actually swiped lebron the first time but they didn't call the foul .

    Dwayne Wade tried to block Rondo's face.

    Lebron was sorta poked.

    Lebron got a foul called on Rondo when it was a loose ball dive.

    I understand that there are 50-50 calls.

    But this was NOWHERE NEAR A 50-50 call. Pierce should have had a max of 4 fouls as well. I don't understand how Lebron is allowed to body up so hard while if he is touched its a foul.

    All I have to say is, Rondo is one of the worst-shooting clutch players I have ever seen in my life. Rondo plays with so much passion and has such a high bball-IQ it is a pleasure watching him.

    Boston getting job on an important calls ... :p


    The Celtics get calls, like crazy. If you watched the Atlanta series or the Philly series, you cannot tell me that officiating was anything less than mediocre. Honestly, the 76ers were the better team in that series. More aggressive, hungrier, and weren't mouthing off at refs every two seconds.

    No one said anything, except the fans of those teams. Everyone else is like it happens, it's a part of the game.


    When it comes to Miami getting a beneficial call or two. It's AN INJUSTICE, there's a conspiracy for them to get to the Finals.

    That Rondo call should have been called. The refs missed it there and it was so blatant. That's why fans are mad. But Rondo also tripped by himself in the first quarter and got 2 FTs. Refs miss calls all the time. But it's very understandable why fans are mad b/c that Rondo missed call was at a crucial juncture in the game.

    But people who complain about the huge discrepancy in FTs. Watch the game. Lebron attacked the rim like crazy. And about 6-8 of those FTs were near the end of the game as Boston was playing the FT game to prolong the game. For Boston, ONLY Rondo attacks the rim, and tonight and he got 12 FTs. He settled for more jumpers in the 2nd half as he was on fire still.

    But that missed call tainted the whole game.

    Day later and still cant believe that Lebron himself got to the line 24 times...and boston 29...

    that is a disturbing number of fouls...and then Steisma getting 4 fouls in the 1st quarter...this is disgusting...

    people really expect the old ass jump shooting celtics to get the same amount of free throws as a team with 2 of the most athletic and aggressive slashers in the game?

    Yo draw fouls by catching your defenders off position (ie by fakes or quick lateral moves).

    Simply getting to the rim does not warrant a foul...unless you get your head smacked or something- O wait :mad:

    BOS deserved that game
