Bulls (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) GAME 7 5/2

[celticinorlando]

the second foul on rondo by miller was a bit much....but the biggest issue vs orlando is matching up with lewis

[RAcker]

Whew!

Nothing makes me happier than knowing that right now, at this very second, Joakim Noah is sitting in the Bulls locker room crying with a towel on his head, all by himself...except for a cameraman who's making sure millions of Celtics fans are watching him go out like a punk live in HD.

EDIT: Well ok, the series makes me happier.  But seeing Noah go Full Sasha was beautiful.

See they just backed me up on rondo exaggerating that foul. you guys were calling me crazy.

I wonder how you can exaggerate a foul when the other guy grabs you from behind and tosses you to the ground. Rondo got a flagrant for doing exactly the same thing last game.

Look at a replay of it. Noah reaches across him and makes a hard foul and then rondo rolls around on the ground, hamming it up.

I looked at a couple of replays during the game -- Noah reaches with both hands, grabs whatever he can reach (more player than ball, for sure), and swings to the side. What happens on the ground doesn't matter.

Not to mention that Rondo had a clear path to the hoop, too, since Noah was clearly behind him.

Horrible officiating. Love the shot of Noah at the end.

If he had just hit his FT's and gotten a few more boards today he would have had the magical 20/10/12 number over a 7 game series, which would have been amazing.

He's just terrible isn't he?  Clearly we need a veteran backup to make up for his failures.

Great series.

Congrats on 500 TP.

Well, goodnight ladies and gents.  I'm going to bed with a smile on my face (and not for the usual reason I might mean this).

Maybe just to shoot FTs at the end of close games. Rondo was 65% on the series, gah...

[Thruthelookingglass]

Horrible officiating. Love the shot of Noah at the end.

For once I got the game on HD and on a big screen.  Perhaps I've become numb to missed and mistaken calls, but I didn't find this to be called all that poorly.  Sure there were missed calls and overreactions.  Happens all the time.  Especially in comparison to some other games we've been in recently I thought there were few surprise calls.  Just my 2 cents.

Haha, no kidding!
Wow, what a series.  Wow.  Just wow.
Cheers to everyone.  Im off for another sixer of heineken.
