Well its Official... I'm now more convinced than ever!!!!

That tomorrows game is going to be refed exactly like okc/spurs was... except that we'll be on the side of the spurs...

Two threads are currently on celticsblog (credit to the authors for finding this stuff). One shows a beat the heat finals t-shirt nbastore "accidently" put up under beat LA "by accident." (may have been removed from the nba store but the thread shows it). Another has a truly disgusting article on nba.com talking about how everyone "wants to see" heat vs thunder and the celtics are just "in the way." I was mind boggled and sickened reading it, I suggest you all do as well...

This clear bias is disgusting. This league has become disgusting, almost unbearable to watch. i do so simply because I love our team. Stern, however would rather have flashy, whiny overpriced superstar battles in the finals and leave our team full of heart and soul and love for the fans and true basketball out to dry on the rack... guess we just don't bring enough ratings for these greedy disgusting people...

I guarentee the refs are gonna be awful tomorrow. All signs point to that. My plea to this team is to play your hearts out. Bury the Miami Heat in a way that the refs cant save them. Do it celtics! Make David Stern and the NBA eat their words, actions, and disgusting articles.

The thread about who we "want" to see win was extremely disrespectful, but I'm legitimately worried when they upload the Beat the Heat OKC shirts go up like that. Makes me pretty paranoid, not going to lie. If all our guys bring their A game, they're the better team, but that's the only way.

The thing is most Game 7s aren't that way and come down to a possession or call here and there. It's clear what the NBA wants we will most likely get it behind the shed tomorrow w/ no lube from Sterns minions.

so true and I hate this so much... hopefully someone shows our guys this stuff before the game, really motivate them to play hard and wreck the heat

after yesterdays game where PP picked up his 1st foul for literally resting his hand on lebron's back(away from the ball) I completely expect a lot of bogus calls for Miami in game 7.

I am not blaming the loss on the refs yesterday, but when you call tick tack fouls like that only one way, it makes it impossible to guard lebron or stay in rhythm offensively .

Also PP did a pump fake got wade in the air and got the shot off, but the refs called it on the floor. Then on the other end Lebron did the exact same thing to pick up PP's 3rd foul and they gave him the 2 shots. PP was even complaining to the refs about this saying " I did the exact same thing on the other end, why does he get 2 shots?"

Again , NOT BLAMING THE REFS FOR THE LOSS AT ALL, but its little things like that ,that cause players to get out of rhythm and be in foul trouble. It's such nonsense, call it the same both ways!!!!!!

Agreed.. inconsistency... its how the nba chooses favorites...

I hope every Celtic player sees this.  It may work like the balloons in the ceiling did for the 1969 Celtics.

Yeah, because if the league was going to fix games, they would let t-shirt makers and web admins know.

lol
People can use any crutch they want to justify why we lose.
Unfortunately this entire series has been refereed quite terribly. We probably lost game 2 because of the refs, but we also probably won game 4 because of the refs.

The NBA ain't pre ordering certain shirts because the fix is, it's because Miami are the favorites and had been all along. Now Bosh is back ,their odds get better.
Don't look into it too much- use it as a false motivation if you must.
We have a great chance of winning this game and our experience alone is priceless in this situation.

The balloons was the first thing that I thought of too.

Weren't the balloons all given to sick kids or something? Someone show the C's this T shirt and maybe some poor kids can get some free clothes

I know, really. Making T-shirts telling people to beat a team not even in the finals yet, and then marketing that t-shirt happens all the time.   There's nothing unusual or eye brow raising about it at all.

In other similar news the electoral college accidentally put out Beat Romney 2016 t-shirts. No big deal at all.
