Gotta love Gen Manager of the C's, Danny Ainge apparently trying to distract Clev. forward JJ Hickson while he was at the line shooting a pair Monday night.

Ainge who is known for irritating most people with a pulse decided it was a good idea to try the ole' "bath towel toss" in front of the hoop with less than two minutes to play of a game which at that point would be kindly described as less than competitive.

Great to see Danny teaching sportsmanship to all the kiddies in attendance as he reminessed with other middle aged fans what it was like to be bitten severely on the hand requiring sutures for pissing off 7Ft Atlanta center Tree Rollins during a playoff game some 20 years ago.

David Stern will probably suspend Rhondo for a game or two just to remind people of his excellent judgement years ago when he stole the Western final for San Antonio with a similar silly suspension as Phoenix threatened to ruin TV ratings for the rest of the playoffs if popular San Antonio was eliminated.

Danny now well into his 50's continues to act like a two year old in public especially when court side despite running arguably the most famous basketball team in the free world. I don't know which I like better this little tantrum of a game well in hand or Ainge's recent ticket fiasco as he "accidentally" was found sitting conveniently next to the mother of a potential recruit so he could take the opportunity to sing the virtue's of gang green right before the draft......Red is surly smiling in his grave!!

Hey Chuck, no issues with the disparate treatment under the basket w/the Lakers and Jazz in the 4th quarter tonight? Seemed like LA got away with a lot more contact, but that may just be my loony conspiracy theory alter ego acting up again!

25-17

31-16 = 56-33 Total fouls

Guess what team was called for twice as many fouls as the other in Game 2?

Guess what team was down double didgets and needed to play aggressively on the defensive end to get back into the game? Jesus I know you guys dont seem to get it but one team committing more fouls than another doesnt mean the refs are working under some NBA mandated bias. It means that one team committed more fouls than the other.

You guys sound like the bipolar guy in the OTB that is convinced that the reason horses are taken down is because the Stewards bet on the 2nd place horse.

Nah.....The second game had the C's never trailing significantly yet PF's are almost 2-1 against the C's despite the fact they obviously played less intensely once they go the big lead. You can't see this as even.

I know he earned the rep, but you think if Rasheed whines out loud so you can hear him in the balcony like LeBron does every time he misses a shot but doesn't get a call that Sheed isn't gonna get T'd each and every time your drinking what Kent gargled yesterday.

The 3 step do see do LaBron did Monday that didn't get called is an embarassment to the game and refs everywhere. If you need an edge like these examples just to keep up with the old men who wouldn't win a game against the Cavs, or are just a small bit better than Chicago or the expansion Miami Heat than how good is Clev really.

WTF just take a walkover and spare us the facade that these games are legit so far. The King still can't win even with the fouls advantage and his clearly superior bench to Boston's sorry lot.

Why don't we just count every Cav win in the series as 2 games and go back to the old 3 for 2 at the line, that should get them over the hump to the Dynasty they are destined for.

Truth is the Celts need game 3 more than Clev. because it's the last with reasonable rest but if the C's do win you will see more spin doctoring out of LaBron's fantasy camp than Willie and the Blue Dress Blues from the Clinton era.

There are quite a few Stewards who are degenerates.

I find it amazing that you can watch tv and ref the games at the same time. Surely the fact that Utah has a frontline that would be considered undersized in the A-10 couldnt be the reason that it looked that way.

Right, and when Gasol is allowed to smack the forearms of Boozer and Millsap and have it be called a "block" it surely has no effect on the game. I'm not sure if you're aware of this development called "slow motion" but it allows us to see exactly what's a foul and what's not, and there were a ton of them "missed" when Utah had the ball.

LOL

Perhaps you are aware that the refs are still human and dont posess "slomo vision"? If the NBA is so crooked then what is Utah doing in the 2nd rd anyway? Surely the Denver/LA matchup was what they were looking for. Is Adrian Dantley that bad that he couldnt win despite having better players AND having the refs on his side? Wait dont answer that. He might be that bad.
