Becoming pansies

[Roy Hobbs]

When the refs call every physical play a foul against the Celts, how are they supposed to play physical?  The early story in both Game 4 and Game 5 was the early foul trouble on our stars.

Of course, I've got no problem with a closely called game.  Just do it for both teams.

Now that we are losing, some Celtics fans are complaining like Lakers fans in 2008.

How many Lakers got a concussion in that series? The reaction that you see on this board from these so called "pansies" is VERY normal...fans of any and every team would have reacted the same way. I came across a similar reaction on Cavs blog when Shaq broke his thumb(it was mellowed down since Cavs won that game)...The Spurs fans were up in arms too when Manu broke his nose....Phoenix fans were the same way when Nash was thrown into the scorers' table....there are way too many examples.

But then again, you always think that the refs can never do any wrong....you can be the tough and rational guy and call out the refs for bad plays at the same time....but what you do is play the NBA/refs union lawyer everytime.
