completely agree but I find that pretty much applies to any C's national broadcast -- C's get no love nor respect.

Delusional. Pony up. The broadcast was fine. Not only that but webber is right, they played like garbage.

Glad you're here to tell us how the vast majority of people are delusional and you are the only clear-thinking one

No, it was not.

The Celtics played like trash. Chris Webber didn't say anything that wasn't true.

Let's be clear. You were the reason you were suspended. You were sent a link to the rules. I suggest you read them. Calling people delusional is pretty much against the rules

I was talking about how the whole game was called not just some quotes by Webber after the loss. Yes, they played poorly but that doesn't excuse the broadcasters for clearly preferential treatment regarding the teams as the game was being played.

Exactly.

What we should be discussing is all of Smart's missed 3s, Kyrie's awful first 3 quarters and Hayward going back into his turtle shell.

Brown, Tatum, Horford, Theis and Rozier played their assess off but give the Lakers credit. They were the better team and the Celts had no right losing this game.

I am not going to dignify Rondo. He made a lucky shot...big deal (sarcasm) I never liked Rondo and I still don't.

These days these national networks try to drive a narrative instead of be unbiased and the stage was set for a Laker drama - trade talk unrest, getting hammered by Indiana, so the narrative for the night was the Lakers, beset by all kinds of headwinds, to eke our a magical victory against the odds. That’s probably how the producers drew it up.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D
