Because it should have been a great defensive stop by the Celtics. Instead, the refs gave it to the Lakers. It's only an amazing shot if it legal. Would you count a half court shot that went in seconds after the game ended?
No, the refs didn't hand the lakers the game. The Lakers fought hard for it. However, the Celtics fought just as hard. The refs gave the Lakers the extra edge they needed to win the game.
The whole game was great then the refs decided to completey change their whole entire philosophy of calling the game they had for the complete 36 minutes before it. Its like they changed their minds on how the outcome would be decided in between the third and fourth qaurter. While yes it was very odd????? I dont know if it is necessarily cheating but it is very suspicious that the league operates this way and always with the same refs doing it too. Its the NBA. Nothing has been proven yet. (Donaghy)
