1. The refs/league refused to impose any penalties on that thug Rondo for his game 5 and game 6 antics
2. The refs were raping the Bulls on every call in the last few minutes of game 7

FLAME AWAY. ETA: i am not a bulls fan

Maybe the Bulls should not have played one one one yesterday and played more motion and passing. I was rooting for them

I thought there were some series changing calls. So the slap to the face. That should have grabbed a flagrant call. Which would have given Miller the shots and the ball for bull fans. It would not have mattered if the league upgraded it because it would not give the Bulls the ball again. Rondo should have been suspended for tossing Hrenrich into the scorers table. That was pretty bad and deserved worse punishment. If it were not for the Celtics being defended champs, he probably would have received the harsh punishment.

Kige, someone who is a blatant UK/rondo fan is going to have a biased opinion which shall not be given any weight

Last night I wouldn't say the refs cost the Bulls the game athougfh everytime the Bulls made a run the whistles started blowing. But Rondo should have been suspended so it is still bullshite. And the refs screwed the Bulls in game 5.

i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but 3 ticky tack fouls in the first minute of the 4th didn't do the bulls any favors. the celtics were in the bonus just about the entire quarter.

Nobody hates the C's more tham me, but I don't think anything Rondo did deserved a suspension, and the Bulls killed themselves in the 4th qtr of game 7 with poor shot selction.

ok, maybe I didn't really see that one, was meaning more the foul on Miller in game 5.

did anyone notice the three second call against the bulls, on Noah I think, when they were on a roll and had the ball in the first half. He was out of the lane the entire time I am not sure what the ref was looking at.

I noticed it and commented on it during the game. I also noticed that the Celtics immediately followed that by committing offensive 3 seconds 3 straight times without being called.

Year in and year out this needs to be restated. The NBA becomes the WWE in the playoffs. It has been this way ever since Stern came in office.

Anyone who thinks the NBA doesn't try and influence games is naive.

oh cry me a river

boston had 3 technicals called on them that game, chicago only had 1.

boston only shot 3 more FTs (39-36)

chicago was whistled for just 6 more fouls (29-23) 3 of those coming in the final minutes when they were behind and fouling intentionally.

bottom line is chicago shot like shite, while boston out rebounded them, played better defensively and had a few key bench players step up (house and scalabrine) - something the officials have no control over.

you guys act like this was the most lopsided officiated game in nba playoff history or some shite.

yea I dont blame them but I just thought it was funny because I dont even know if he was in there for one full second. And I am not a fan of either team just thought it was an interesting call.

And 33 of those came in the second half alone for Boston.
