The Celtics were beginning to pull away and then the officials made 2-3 completely bogus calls to let the Clippers back in the game.  I'm going to find an on line bookie and place a bet on the Clippers vs the spread.

The spread is only 7.  Should be more than that.

Nah, the Celtics got caught trying to blow through two screens in a row. It happens. The officials have been pretty consistent on how much contact they've been allowing this game.

That's all I want.

There were several ridiculous calls in a row, including a call on Rondo that was simply not a foul.  Terrible.

But I'm not going to bet.  Spread is too low for a terrible team like the Clippers.

Irrelevant.  Even if Rondo hits the two free throws and the Celtics win the game, the gamblers still win against the spread (7 pts).  The refs made sure that the game stayed close.  Very professional point shaving job.

Nice also that the officials put a full 1.5 seconds on the clock after Rondo was fouled with about 0.3 seconds left.

Stop it.  Just stop it.  The C's played like they could win by just showing up to the stadium for work for most of this game, especially for most of the 4th.
