Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

I don't want to hear some crap about not being allowed to complain. THE OFFICIATING WAS HORRIBLE.

The reason I am giving the Heat credit is because YES - they did hit big shots - and YES - I did expect the officiating to be horrible. I was hoping the Celtics would be able to overcome what was to be EXPECTED as horrible officiating - WHICH IT WAS.

If you try to tell me the officiating wasn't horrible and one sided, then I question your objectivity in watching a basketball game. That doesn't mean we didn't have chances, which we blew, nor does it mean that LeBron didn't hit great shots. It is what it is.

But in a game that came down a few points at the end, MULTIPLE BAD CALLS MAKE IT SIGNIFICANTLY TOUGHER TO WIN.

End of story.

Your caps lock isn't making any difference in your whining.

I do think this says a lot about rondo's impact on the team. Not saying he's an MVP caliber player but the team truly did not look the same without him.

Funny how some of you guys criticizes the Heat Celebration, but don't even talk about at how KG and PP just left the game, showing no class at all. Ray Allan has my respect, dude is a class act.

Hope the Heat destroys the Bulls.

If is Heat vs Mavericks then I'll be force to root for my Mavericks.

Joining the bandwagon?

I think the C's just have beef with Lebron since they feel he disrespected them when they knocked him out of the playoffs the past 2 out 3 years.

So Lebron assembed a new crew and took them out in 5.

That doesn't even make sense.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

Sportsmanship is a telling sign of a person's reputation and character. In most cases, it has nothing to do with playing ability BUT it does let people know what degree of douche bag you are. Why do you think Isiah Thomas holds the reputation he has with most of the guys who played in his era?

because he was a jerk plain and simple and it had nothing to do with celebrating after winning a game


This has nothing to do with Zeke or the Bulls or any of that crap come on man

This really isnt even really something that should be the topic of discussion right now

OK GOOD. It's a basketball forum. I'm allowed to comment on the contents of the game as I see them, and I'm allowed to use cap locks as well.

My team just blew great chances 2 years in a row and now it's over. Let me vent bro.

Wasn't you just talking about 'hugs and hand shakes'?

That was such a great game on both sides until the celtics started turning the ball over.

LEBRON FRIGGIN JAMES!!!!!
These teams don't like each other so I'd rather the C's walk off then give some phony handshake.

As for those bashing the "celebration" this season has taught us all one very important lesson:

HATERS GONNA HATE!!

No one said you can't do any of that, but the fact is your using officiating as an easy out/excuse for the Celtics losing.

Bad calls went both ways and they didn't change the fact that the Celtics had their opportunities to win this game but turned the ball over, settled for jumpers, couldn't convert on those jumpers, couldn't defend LeBron and also the fact that their best player was playing with one arm.

If the Cavaliers were able to beat the Celtics in the playoffs, I would run down East 9th naked with flares in both hands.

As for the refs...to be expected. Wade and James will get calls. Gotta be able to overcome and not turn the ball over like it is on fire.

LeBron's closing interview with Sager after the game was a class act performance imo. Very well said Prince.

I agree with everything you said, except that. The calls didn't go both ways. That's all I'm saying.

I agree that's to be expected, and I'm sad we couldn't overcome that. Was just commenting on the fact that it was a factor. It's too bad that's a factor visiting teams are going to have to take into account in Miami.
