that punk salvatore needs to be penalised by those in charge, fired, fined - whatever, he needs a talking to because he's not doing his job properly. if most hard working people weren't doing their jobs properly they would be in for it so why not this clown? this is the worst i have seen for a very long time, maybe ever.

the nba - where complete bs happens!

I've been watching this game for close to 40 years.  You can't tell me this isn't fixed. Stern you have an enormous credibility problem on your hands.  That Pierce call on the 3 took the cake.

This isn't a contest.  It's a scripted joke.

If that is an offensive foul then 75% of fouls need to be reversed and called as offensive that has to be the single most idiotic call I have ever witnessed. Not just bad judgement but outright wrong and can only be explain by incompetence.

the bias of the refs is even evident in the announcers' usually vanilla comments. that means it's bad. and it is. this is unbelievable.

I love how stern acts like the officials are clean and competent, meanwhile, he assigns the best home offcial in the playoffs (according to nbaref.com salvator is 58-10 for the home team) to a game, and he negates a 4pt play on one of the worst calls ive ever seen.

The NBA: where money > fairness happens

seriously, if your going to fix a game, at least make it SLIGHTLY less blatant.

OoOOo... this whole time I thought the refs had screwed Brent Barry... now apparently it seems he lucked out that they didn't call an offensive foul.  OoOooo... i get it...

Wow

That offensive foul on Pierce is the worst I have ever seen. How do you defend that? Will the Celtics be getting an apology tomorrow?

The refs screwed the C's that quarter. Take away a sure 3 points plus a potential 4th and it would have been a 2 point game. Throw in the non tech on Wallace and KG's phantom fouls and its a different game.

We would be winning right now if not for the refs. SOMEBODY ON THE [dang] NATIONAL MEDIA STAND UP FOR THE CELTICS THEY ARE GETTING SHAFTED SOOO MUCH. IF THE NBA DOESNT APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISSED CALL (ALA BARRY) THEN STERN SHOULD BE SHOT. Sorry for the caps lock.

Can we stop all this "we're not winning tonight" crap... we're only down 6. We can win in spite of the refs, stop this crap already.
Second that. The Celtics are still very much in this game and in decent shape to win.

Now we unravel.  Can't bring our game to another level to combat the home court advantage and the awful officiating.  Looking like we're going to have to do it in 7 again at this point...still time though.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

ESPN Gamecast had Kevin Garnett with 12 minutes played through three quarters.  I nearly had a heard attack.  I thought he was hurt.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.
