Celtics (49-15) at Heat (33-29) 3/11

[USG]

Why do I have the feeling that in a week or two we're going to be begging Doc to reduce Powe's minutes?

Because that's how Powe and Baby work. 1 is on, 1 is off, and it's never consistent.

The locals just pre-empted the game to talk for two minutes about a local fundraiser.  Got to learn about the dunk tank, and the new "guns" of the local announcer who has been working out.  At least that's what he says.

yes...pathetic

These announcers are really killing me.  Give me MIKE and TOMMY!

so let me see....moore with 4....walker 3 perk 2 house 3 powe 2.....nba officials just take a lot of the joy out of watching games

O'Neal doesn't get 1 foul. This is bullEdited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline..

[celticinorlando]

o neal over perks back and no call

[MattD]

Does Leon get an assist for that Perk basket?

What happens in the fourth quarter when the refs have fouled Perk, Walker, House, Moore, and Powe out of the game? The Celtics will have:

Center: Pierce
PF: Giddens
SF:Allen
SG: Pruitt
PG: Marbury

Well, it should be good for a few laughs at least.

The refs are calling the game tight, but I'm not sure that they're calling the game unfairly.  People ask for officials to call games "by the book", and when they do, people get upset that our guys are fouling out.

Are there fouls that were called that you disagreed with?  If not, I don't think it's fair to say that the "refs have fouled [players] out" -- it's the players who are fouling themselves out, in my opinion.

I've got all the respect in the world for this team between Sunday and tonight hanging in there.

The only word I can think of to describe the officiating is inane.

Are you serious??? I am all for them calling it by the book as long as the do it both ways. We have half our team in foul trouble (3 or more) a quarter in a half in.

[USG]

Ugh. Plays like that get stopped dead by Rondo and Garnett. They see that coming a mile away. Rondo gets a hand in, and Garnett is standing in the paint teeth bared.

Instead, bam, right to the basket for 2 FTs.

RAY ALLEN!

Miami is still trying to find Jesus.
