Merged "Blame the Refs" Threads

[dlpin]

They're were some iffy calls, but ultimately we failed to score the ball and that had nothing to do with the officiating

Pierce didnt score in the 4th
Ray didnt score in the 4th
KG scored once in the 4th

Reallyyyyy hard to blame the refs imo

Whatever. Please go blame Danny instead, after all Curly  and Jeff played terrible games today 

Curly was actually really good, too bad it took til tonight to get him some minutes.

But Good God, Jeff Green had to be the worst player evaluation ever

Green played much better than Pierce today.

Yeah, well so did Kristic, West, Big Baby, and JO.  Pierce was a ghost all night

Yea, yea, don't care what anyone says. Pierce hits a 2 point jumper in 4th, it gets called a travel. There was no travel at all.

Glen Davis hits 2 pointer, and gets foul, it gets called a travel.

bosh is standing out of out bounds, it doesn't get called, the Heat get a 3 pointer out of that. Pierce and Green go to basket, get more contact than what Wade got with Krstic, wade goes to foul line, the Celtics players don't.

The celtics played as well as they could, the bench, too. The Celtics were suppose to have a larger lead than what they did, but they didn't due to bad officiating. I thought game 4 was reffed fantastically, this game? Not even close.

[Senninsage]

The Ref's were unbelievable again.

Yes Lebron made some big shots.

I know everyone is going to say that "the ref's didn't cause this game" and for those people you never think the ref's can cause a game anyway so what's the point.

Maybe the broadcasters tonight are closet Celtic's fans but even they pointed out 3 instances of ridiculous calls.

1. Bosh out of bounds- Lebron hits 2--ooops not a big deal
2. Big baby and one....oops it was called a travel
3. Pierce hits the jumper- nope obviously a travel

Not to mention everyone talking about how we need to be aggressive to the hoop.....woooopsss we are aggressive to the hoop and don't get dingleberry calls.

The C's deserved this win tonight and were robbed. I know people want to gush over Lebron's shots but the fact is that if the ref's give the Heat chance after chance of course they will find the hoop after a while

The Celts were robbed this game.

[Marcus13]

Yeah, we were robbed by our starting lineup who combined for one basket in the fourth quarter

I basically have the same thread going. YES! someone else agrees.


wait wait wait.....But that's not the reason Lebron made those 3's........so nothing else matters in the game except the one billionth chance the heat get

Please stop. They were outscored 16-0 in the last 5 minutes of the game because they kept taking jumpshots and the defense was awful. Stop blaming the refs. They lost to a better team with more talent.

Don't really want to hear it. Stop acting like all 48 minutes of a basketball game don't count. It all counts. Anyone trying to pretend otherwise simply does not know what they are talking about.

If the Celtics get the plays that they worked their behinds off for, the game is not tied with 2 minutes left.

Pierce's 2 pointer counts, 2 point lead. Bosh's play gets called the out of bounds that it is, no lebron 3. 5 point lead, glen davis gets his runner and the foul, that's a 7 point lead for celts with 2 minutes left, we don't know if glen davis hits that free throw, but we DID see the celts score other shots, and they were bogusly waved off.

[celticinorlando]

in the end..it was the sins of the last month and a half that doomed boston...turnovers and and a poor offense

[OsirusCeltics]

All those calls were going the Heat's way and how can anyone deny it?


Because it doesn't mask the Refs trying to fix the game. NBA wants a certain outcome, and they know it

Every touch foul was called against the Celtics. If basketball is a contact sport, how can you play the game effectively? Simple as that

Theres no need use those cliches of "Well they were the better team", "Need to play harder", "They outplayed us". Well, I think that's BS

Why is it a joke when someone says this series was fixed?
Was it a joke when it happened to the 2002 Kings?
Was it a joke when it happened to the 2010 Celtics? 2006 Mavs?
Even to a lesser extent, the slam dunk competition

Number one thing to remember, the NBA is a business. Always has been always will be. Its all marketing to promote a certain player/teams brand. That is how they make billions off of their merchandises/endorsements. I used to have the wool over my eyes, but not anymore

I agree, if id didn't love this team so much I would be done with the league

[RedsCeltics34]

& 8 on 4 when Glen Davis or Jeff Green are on the floor.

[Jon]

The two travel calls on BBD and PP were atrocious.  Even Reggie who probably would date LeBron thought they were.
