ing crying your team lost not because the refs screwed them. Your team gave up in the last minutes. Shit rondo got away with a foul. Derek Fisher out ran 4 Celtics players and made the play. You guys came back from a 17 point beating and stopped playing after 1:20 left in the 4th. You can cry about it being a screw job but if you guys kept playing y'all might have won. I agree the refs made some horrible calls both ways but you cant count on the refs you have to play ball.[/QUOTE]
Oh excuse me Rondo got away with 1 foul. The simple fact is that the Lakers were up by 2-4 points for a while and a number of bad calls were made that helped them keep the lead. You take away those bad calls near the end and the game is tied and the end plays out differently.
Also, they took Pierce out of the game so he did not play much and could not get into the game. You cannot dismiss the fact that they took Allen out of game 1 with bs calls, Garnett out of game 2 with bs calls, and Pierce out of game 3 with bs calls. No wonder the neutral headed Doc Rivers had a lot of shit to say about the referring after this game and submitted a lot of shit when he usually submits little. Meanwhile when Jackson get's asked about the statements he made after game 2, he denies it.
[quote name='lordopus99']I obviously didn't watch the game but refs don't cause teams to win. 10 TOs and Ray 0-13 isn't going to get it done. Plus, you guys got outrebounded 43-35.
Your key players getting benched.
Ray went 3 for 8 in Game 1. It was actually probably best for him to sit since he was shooting 37%.
Pierce still went for 33 minutes... I wouldn't consider that reduced at all. Plus, your dude went 2 for 13 in Game 2

Refs have a hand in the game when they make a shit load of calls and they make a shit load of bad calls, and also cause the best players to sit out games. Players have bad games, that doesn't mean teams cannot win without them. This game could've gone either way at the end.
It's not about how many points a player scores in a game. Having Ray Allen in completely changes the Celtics offense for every player on the floor.

And you know Allen plays something called defense. Pierce played 46 minutes in game 1 & 40 in game 2. Keep talking out your ass because you're mad at me.
