Officiating in this series has been awful so far. The playoff officiating thus far had been ok, but hella phantom fouls for both sides.
Refs, you are not the stars. Let them play.

yeah, refs were terrible today...
pierce and garnett need to crank it up a notch... rondo and r.allen carried the celts today...
KG is fine.....Miami,Cleveland and Orlando didn't have anyone who could defend him
nice win...great adjustments by Doc.....However, he can't go with this same game plan again or they'll get ran off the floor.....Paul has to play huge in Game#3
Those last 3 Fouls on Kobe probably won't get much press..but, every one of those fouls drastically change the momentum of the game
I'm saying the game is officiated badly for both sides. There are tons of phantom fouls going against both sides.
So if its bad for both sides, what's the problem?
I never hear the winning team claim that shit.
"u know we won the championship despite the terrible officiating"
I don't find a duel of free throws and "who has more fouls...therefore has to sit on the bench" the best way to officiate or watch a finals. Get the bee out your bonnet foxbat.

it was pretty quiet around here after Game #1.........ehh
yeah, except for you dropping pearls of knowledge like this:
Rajon Rondo is like the 6th or 7th best point guard if he played in the Western Conference???......Boston is done???..
straight comedy.
Ok Hockey man....i'll take Lakers in 6.....Ray Allen had to set a NBA record just to keep it close....lol
i'm sure you can't name 7 point guards in the Western Conference so i'll help
1)Steve Nash
2)Deron Williams
3)Tony Parker
4)Chris Paul
5)Jason Kidd
6)Russell Westbrook
7)Chauncey Billups
Rajon Rondo is not better than any of the above...he's a great player ..but lucky for him he plays in Boston....his game tonight wasn't any more "next level" than anything any Western Conference guard does on a nightly......put Rondo on Golden State he wouldn't even be half the player Monta is.
i think Jason Kidd is a better point guard...eliminate Kidd, Rondo is still 6th in the west and lower overall.....I like Rondo but the hype is way too much.....dude is playing with 3 Legends....Ray Allen won this game not Rondo's play
Thanks for letting me know i'm playing myself......i'll bow out now and be back to offer congratulations when The Celtics win.
Never happen. There's not a ref in the league who would whistle Kobe Bryant for his sixth foul in the playoffs.
b/w
I was loving Artest in the closing minutes of the game. Lakers need to hit some 3s in a hurry, and Ron dribbles around...dribbles around...dribbles around...picks up his dribble...holds the ball.... I was actually kinda bummed he fouled out. The whole defensive strategy for the Celtics would've been "get the ball in Artest's hands, then just let Ron be Ron."
eliminate Kidd, Rondo is still 6th in the west and lower overall.....I like Rondo but the hype is way too much.....dude is playing with 3 Legends....Ray Allen won this game not Rondo's play
the hype is because Rondo is real. and playing for his second Championship in 3 years.
"big three" or not, anyone who watched the Celtics at all this year knows they are only in the playoffs because of Rondo.

If the Lakers pull this out i'll be shocked.

except that he was playing great just a week ago ... ?
I mean, yeah, he may be burning out early from age and wear, but I gotta think he is hurt to be playing this badly.
Refs, you are not the stars. Let them play.

The box score does not tell the real story of this game........Lakers in 5
I only got to see it from midway through the third quarter on.....
I don't see the Lakers winning 2 in Boston.
lol! you STAY comedy relief, God bless you for it.
home court advantage: ELIMINATED
No, he had an incredible game topped by the block on Fisher and poking the ball away from Kobe in the 4th and a triple double to just make his case.
yeah, refs were terrible today...
pierce and garnett need to crank it up a notch... rondo and r.allen carried the celts today...
Pierce defending was FIERCE.
Now a best-of-five with 3 games in Boston. I will take that.
U DONT WANNA SEE PAUL PIERCE EMERGE
Where is Ron Artest?
Rondo = Rebounds
Sid Haig > Jack Nicolson
Boston has no inside presense + the offense looks mad suspect
I dont recall Boston winning last time w/ a 20/10 Garnett every game.
Big Baby Davis' BLOCK on Bynum was the real.
Nate Robinson.................... :PFUNK:

I have the bee???? Funny.
^^ Has Joey Crawford in his "my five"
RAH RAH and BLAH BLAH
it was pretty quiet around here after Game #1.........ehh
Kobe's 3rd,4th and 5th fouls were complete bullshit and they all came during Laker runs
Home Court doesn't mean anything because Boston is terrible at home
Ray does this once every series then falls off the face of the earth
The game was not officiated bad on both sides because part of Boston's game plan was to put The Lakers on the FT line
yeah, except for you dropping pearls of knowledge like this:

why do you play yourself in these threads like this?
I respect the passion, and you know the game - better than me, I'm sure - but your hype blows up your senses.

Bonus track: RAY UCONN!
Add Curry & Tyreke.
Rondo is in the L Top 5.
the hype is because Rondo is real. and playing for his second Championship in 3 years.

last triple-double in the NBA Finals: 2003
