Actual good content from Screamin A Smith for once, none of the absurd theatrics he puts on with his annoying tight faced buddy. Originally Posted by bladefd

Re: Stephen A. Smith ESPN Put Refs and Stern On Blast
Did you watch the game every time boston went to the basket they were hammered but didn't get a call (ie Rondo's patented hakeem move where Lebron literally hit him in the head then ran him over to get the block no call/shot clock violation). That had nothing to do with it at all or the play that lead to Ray's tech where he stole the ball but instead was called for a phantom foul then a tech then mike miller hit a 3 that's a potential 6 to 7 point swing that only happened because of bad officiating and there are lots more.

Re: Stephen A. Smith ESPN Put Refs and Stern On Blast
Duncan once got thrown out for laughing on the bench.
NBA refs are pathetic, but let's not act like they only favor Miami. They've done the same for Boston, Lakers, etc. Obviously fans turn the other cheek when it's their team benefiting from the refs. Me, I have to admit the refs were out of control today. I saw a couple of plays where James screamed at an official. If they're going to call that on Ray, do it for James.

For all the complaining Wade does when he gets non foul calls you'd think he'd lead the league in technicals... Originally Posted by ihoopallday

No one believes the refs decided the game or were the reason the Celtics lost but they took any edge or potential gain from the Celtics by how they officiated the game.
The Celtics have to play better but NBA refs are the worst in all of sports.

Because no one bitched about the refs with the Laker/Kings in 2002? Originally Posted by Reverend Hoops

this reminds me of earlier today. I played a pickup basketball game, got elbowed in the head, and guys were like, "really? - get up"

Re: Stephen A. Smith ESPN Put Refs and Stern On Blast
Stephen A is right, it doesn't make any logical sense unless there is a clear directive from the NBA. You could explain away the Game 1 calls vs the Knicks, but to have the exact same thing happen only difference being, the other team got a bunch of techs, is obvious something is going on in favor of the Heat.

The refereeing calls (the tech calls anyway, they were quite laughable) were obviously favouring the home team heavily, but they didn't decide the outcome of the game. Miami were simply the better team. You think the refs forced Boston to shoot 35%? By all means be critical, but show more consideration for the game as a whole.
