Anyone who says that the refs were not a factor is either in denial or blind.
Our hot start was tempered by 3 bogus foul calls in a row by the referees against perk, pierce and someone else i forget.
Throw in the strange offensive foul call on Ray and pierce’s 5th. The officials had a huge swing on the game.
Things didn’t go our way all night like odoms banked 3 and our shots continually rimming in and out.
If Doc says "Ray had no legs cos artest gave him a dead leg then why the hell is he in the game in the 4th?
I’m sick to my stomach right now because as soon as the refs were announced I knew we were in trouble. This league has credibility issues already and Stern just fueled the fire.
Yes the Celtics stunk, Rondo was too passive, kept pulling the ball out, I was yelling attack! attack at my t.v.
This could have been the opportunity to get a lead over the lakers in a playoff series something that hasn;t been done since we did it to them in 08!
but luck and the refs, just weren’t on our side
