Pierce took three steps on that play anyway.

 

[LHUCKS]

Wade only needed shoulder pads to really finish that hit off on Pierce.

What are the refs looking at there?

Wilked> Care to comment on the officiating?

Some badly missed calls on both ends. That Pierce no call was crazy. How the ref called that Ray last second shot a 3 when he was 2 feet away I can't figure (it was corrected). Wade and James aren't getting the ticky tack fouls, and that is the main thing that will drive me out of my mind, so I have no reason to complain

I would use the word 'also' instead of 'anyway', but dis be true

Why exactly are the constant rumors of the Celtics looking to deal Rondo?

 

[Premier]

I wonder how much money is in Eddie Curry's bank account.

Probably about 10 bucks.

 

[LHUCKS]

I think Ainge was trying to motivate his team with the trade rumors early on.

JVG calling that "not a travel"

 

[the moops]

Not a charge.

Definitely a technical.

 

[Britney Spears]

JVG calling that "not a travel"

Yeah that was pretty clear IMO.

 

[the moops]

I'm not one to ##### about the refs too often. I just wish they would be consistent. They allow hard contact sometimes, then call ticky tack fouls the next play down.

Either let them play, or call it tight. Just keep it consistent.

 

[Kev4029]

JVG calling that "not a travel"

I think it might have even been 4 steps, two as he caught it then two more to move out of the way and get the foul. Do people actually like Van Gundy?Every time I watch the Celtics Pierce comes off as the least likable player in the NBA to me. He complains, flops, has his own KobeFaceTM and just generally acts like an ### hat.

 

[Britney Spears]

I can't really blame Rondo for kicking Battier. Battier seems like an annoying flopper.

All part of what makes Crawford the worst ref in sports.

My favorite guy actually.

 

[bostonfred]

Lol rondo

 

[wilked]

Rondo is awesome

Plus there is the "Duke Rule" in the NBA...kicking Dukees is pretty much expected.Aint that right Jalen?

I think that's a rule we can all live by.

My favorite guy actually.

I like when he's not being serious. Wacky rule changes, poking fun at other commentators, etc. are amusing. I am not so sure about some of his actual analysis.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Van Gundy is awesome.

A perfect crew would be Stan and Jeff together.

 

[wilked]

TNT is light years better on announcing

 

[GroveDiesel]

JVG is terrible. Half the time he doesn't even get the rules right. How can you be a coach and tv analyst in the league as long as him and not know the rules?

 

[Britney Spears]

WTF is Wade doing?

 

[wilked]

Wade has to be one of the most unlikable players in the game...

 

[wilked]

I love Rondo seeing the Celts getting lazy, especially Pierce, and letting him know he doesn't get the ball unless he gets to the hole

 

[wilked]

And here comes Bill Kennedy

 

[Mark Davis]

Anyone else get the feeling that Miami is about to surge by the Celtics? This is starting to remind me of Miami/Indiana Game 4.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I totally agree with JVG about it sometimes being better to concede the layup rather than prevent it and put yourself in foul trouble.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

TNT is light years better on announcing

Amen

 

[Wu-banger]

One of the poorest officiated games in awhile....hope going into the 4th quarter or clears up and doesn't hurt the outcome .

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Wade and James playing the entire rest of the way it seems. I think Miami will actually gain the lead at some point in the 4th however Boston was able to overcome that in game 3 by mounting their own surge. Gonna be an exciting 4th after pretty much the Celtics dominating the entire game.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

One of the poorest officiated games in awhile....hope going into the 4th quarter or clears up and doesn't hurt the outcome .

Never fails that it is always the all time worst officiated game each and every night of the playoffs.

 

[Moe.]

Agree in general but Reggie Miller is as bad as anybody.

Big run by Miami... Celts not looking like they have any legs at the moment

Shut the arena down, someone just shot Haslem

 

[Britney Spears]

Why would you risk taking KG out right now? Could really be a big mistake.

 

[Britney Spears]

And Wade gets to the basket.

 

[joffer]

Awful call on the charge

 

[wilked]

Refs just makin #### up now

 

[modogg]

I really hope this series goes 6 games, would love to see these Boston fans have their hearts broken as they are waving their little white towels and shaking their green signs everywhere. The crowd just seems especially annoying

And great foul call on James there officiating is truly a joke

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I hate to say this, but I think James got called for a foul he didn't commit.

 

[joffer]

What the #### was that?

 

[tommyGunZ]

Zebras are hosing Miami right now. 3 bad calls in a row.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Celtics fans are not allowed to cry about Game 2 again.

 

[wilked]

Heat players are crying on each call at this point
