Umm... no. <_>

Umm... no. <_>

 

I'm being completely sarcastic lol. After the NYK/BOS game, I was making the point that, at the end of NBA playoff games, there's a really bad trend of the home team getting every call.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Two huge miscalls that went against the Pacers tonight. Something really needs to be done about NBA refereeing.

 

It's been like that forever. What makes you think it will change now?

It won't change, but just because that's the way it always has been doesn't make it any better (although I know you weren't saying it did).

[WhiskeyBreath]

True

[Keeper]

The Bulls had a lot of bad calls go against them as well. For the record, I hate NBA officiating.

[yankees228]

There's only so much they can do against Boston's excellent defense without Amar'e and Billups.

were did amare go?

[yankees228]

were did amare go?

 

Back spasms.

[yankees228]

The officiating is a joke.

 

EDIT: Finally the Knicks get a break.

[yeszir]

GET REBOUNDS DAMMIT

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Melo I heard is on fire. It's too bad they didn't have Billups and Amare.

[WhiskeyBreath]

GET REBOUNDS DAMMIT

 

Their rebounding in the playoffs the last few years has pissed me off so damn much.

 

KG for the lead!

 

Intense game.

[suns]

Think about if Big shot and Amare played the whole game? Can you say domination?

[Palodios]

Its scary how close this game was, despite no Billups/Amare. A win is a win, but I'm not liking the Celts chances in the second round.

[yankees228]

Geeze Doc is great. The difference maker so far.

[suns]

The knicks could be up 2-0 in this series easily.

[yankees228]

That hurt really bad.

[Wasatch]

Another nice win for the Celtics.

[Flynnatic10]

I didn't watch the game, but the Knicks did well considering they didn't have Amare or Billups for the 2nd half.

 

on a side note, I bet the front page of the NY time was "He went to JARED?!"

[yankees228]

For any older Celtics fans (or ones who know their history), Melo last night reminded me of Wilkins in Game 7 in 88.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nuggets really look like they want to tie the series with OKC.

[suns]

If nuggets want to even have a remote chance at winning this series, they will have to stop being so gd weak.

[RedSoxFrank]

Denver can't stop the Thunders offense, plus Denver is playing soft as f***.

[RedSoxFrank]

Spurs hold on and get the win.

[italstallianion]

Spurs hold on and get the win.

 

 

Oh well, I guess that makes up for the Flyers game.

[RedSoxFrank]

Thunder dominated Denver.

 

31-29 Lakers over the Hornets, 7:15 remaining in the 2nd QTR.

NEW YORK -- The Knicks have decided that Chauncey Billups' strained right knee hasn't recovered sufficiently enough to play in Game 3 of the Celtics' first-round Eastern Conference series against New York, ruling the point guard out for Friday night's game. Knicks' forward Amar'e Stoudemire, who has been battling a pulled muscle in his back, is still considered a game-time decision.

 

"We were pretty sure he was not playing and we were ready either way," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "It doesn’t change our gameplan honestly. We’re going to play the same regardless of who plays."

[boston22407]

Go Celtics!

[Flynnatic10]

Not watching the game. Watching the Sabres/Flyers game, that s*** is intense.
