Lakers (38-9) at Celtics (41-9) 2/5

[Atzar]

Gasol made a heck of a play, but it shouldn't have mattered.  Fisher had a handful of Ray's sack.

i want to fight someone, and there isn't anyone to fight. i'm gonna hit the shower... good game.  

[footey]

This hurt, the reffing sucked big time, but we lost mostly because we did not executed when it counted.

Pierce played great D on Kobe tonight.

[Tenacious D]

That said, the Celts did not execute when they had the ball and the lead.

[celticinorlando]

the WORST officiating I have seen in a long long time...Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. LA

I wish Sasha lives on my street. So, I can send my grandma over to his house to teach him a lesson.

Shouldve seen this coming, we were gradually coming down from our peak in the midst of the winning streak, we're playing average again right now...do you really think the celtics want to play the knicks tommorow? can you say 2 losses in a row?

[cordobes]

Refs were okay. Anyone who saw Pau (or Fisher) fouling Ray on that last play is just imagining things. It didn't happen.

[Scribbles]

Celtics lost this game for 3 reasons.  The inability to hit free throws that would have won the game in overtime, the refs, and Doc Rivers stupidity.  

[albas89]

and no it wasn't a foul on the last play. there just wasn't a play. tonight it might have been horrible officiating but Pierce missed too many FT's down the stretch.

Pierce was not ready for this game!period

Or he's no more clutch...

I don't know,I'm so frustrated right now... I want to commit a crime...

[USG]

3 stupid end-of-quarter plays. What the hell, Doc?

[RebusRankin]

I'm calling it now, Stern will rig the officiating so its Lakers-Cavs in the Finals.

[celticinorlando]

now..Danny make a move for another big because if boston plays La n the finals they will need fouls to give

[Casperian]

Was that a foul?

I don't think so.  Who was the foul on?  Gasol didn't touch him, and I don't think Fisher did, either.

There were plenty of missed calls, but the Celts had plenty of chances to win it, and executed terribly.

Still...

I`m not the kind of guy who moans about the officiating all the time, but this was a ridiculous screw job. It doesn`t matter that we should`ve won the game on our own, the refs clearly took that away from us.

You can't be serious if you didn't see the hook Fisher had on Ray.
