if we were to see Boston vs. SAS in the finals I would hope everyone would drop the NBA is fixed stuff.

Talk about a matchup with no real history and no showdowns with high profile celebrity players.

well it may not be historical or high profile, but it is the teams that have won the past 2 championships... that'd be marketable.

yea i cant get the beasts back on that one, that was stupid of him.
I didn't see the replays so I'll accept that it was a fair call :) Live to me it just looked like Bonner was spinning around and throwing up his arms on a little contact that happens all the time.

Pierce is settling for too many jumpers. I don't know if he thinks he won't get any calls driving either but he is pulling up and shooting whenever he gets a little past his man.

True I completely overlooked that part of it.  Id actually like to see this match up I think it would be a good series, but I dont think it would exactly thrill less than diehard basketball fans.

You'd think the commentators could get over the fact that Davis is thick. They must be struggling to fill the breaks in play.

nba officiating incompetence at its finest. not a foul because it was blocked (correct call)

out on boston? huh? remember when you called it a clean block? did it touch an invisible celtic on the way out?

Is this really happening again? celtics get called for everything down the stretch in a close game, ticky tack and all..and the opposing team gets away with whatever they want?

Paul needs to play within the offense right here.

Tim Duncan vs Kevin Garnett NBA finals, match-up of the last 2 champions? really thats about as marketable a spurs series as there would ever be

I think Pierce's offense is a lost cause tonight.  I missed the first half, but right now he's shooting 3-15 from the floor and from what I've seen while watching, it just hasn't been his night...which is unfortunate cause if he made even half of his shots, we'd be up at least 10 points right now.

Ugh. The ref changed his call after Parker whined.
