nba store sells okc 'beat the heat' t-shirts

[JoT]

They took the shirt down...wow.
This is sad and the NBA really should be ashamed of themselves. The Celtics franchise and the fans do not deserve the blatant disrespect that the NBA and the media gives them.

[Celts Fan 92]

pretty disrepectful i hope we play hard tomorrow foreal smh Lets go Celtics despite dis blatant ridiculous hate

[j804]

I'm sure they have the Miami Heat already branded over the ECF trophy and their hats stitched up already as well. I'm just about convinced this game is already decided.

Thats either dumb by the NBA. But it is downright disrespectful. I hope this is bulletin board material tomorrow and SPOIL the fun.

PPl need to tweet Blakely (@SherrodbCSN)  and ask him to ask the Cs at shoot-around (or whenever he can) if they heard about the shirts.

I'm hoping someone tells them and that it fires them up like the balloons in the ceiling of the Forum did for the 1969 team.

This should be on evey boston newspaper.. We need to diffuse the scandal...

I'm not upset about this at all.  Want to know why?  The best shirt I ever saw said "2004 World Series     Cardinals v. Yankees."  I was lucky enough to get a hold of it in late 2004, and I still wear it today.

Russell noted the giant net hanging from the ceiling during pregame warmups and said to West, "Those [expletive deleted] balloons are staying up there."

on a similar note:

"Those [expletive deleted] T-shirts are staying in the store."(i.e. not getting the chance to be bought   )

my first thought was wow, the thunder are cheering for the celtics to beat the heat.  it doesn't mention finals, it just says beat the heat.  whether it is referring to the celtics or thunder to beat them could be either.

RIGGED.  Any point in even watching the game tonight?  If the Heat beat us they beat us.  If we outplay them the officials will beat us.

[BRC-14]

I don't know how much worse the League and ESPN can treat us... it's this and all the early stuff that they "jumped the gun" with, such as the night that ESPN posted a photo saying the Heat were up 3-2 on the Celtics when the Celtics had just won the game that night... It's infuriating to see stuff like this when there is a still game to be played. If the league is rigged, then we need a new commissioner who won't allow for all of this nonsense to go on just for some money in his pocket. Stern has had his time, and it's time for us as a league to move forward.

This raises all kind of doubt. It's stuff like this why I'll never gamble on an NBA game.
