Cry, cry away Cleveland fan. The refs called the Celtics for four more fouls, the free throws were even and Howard got away with another billion elbows/rakedowns. I'm supposed to take up for the Vagic after that? Your sad, sad act is a comedy show. Enjoy the Mangini era buddy. God are we glad to be rid of that doofus.

What a clown. A Boston and New York fan combined. It gets absolutely no worse than that. It is a horror show of zero loyalty.

So the refs cost the Celtics the game that they won. Incredible show going on here.

yeah, all the glory I've had being a Jet fan since I was 11.

No one said the refs cost anyone anything. I'm telling you that there was no discernible bias either way tonight. And if you actually read what I wrote, I never said the refs threw Game 5 for the Vagic. I said the calls on Perkins were an absolute joke, and they were.

I find it funny. All I know is I was 100 percent wrong about the Celtics going to the post season. You were right. I did think they would take the Cavs 6 or 7 but lose, but you were right and I was wrong. So whatever I say has no bearing really. I simply have no clue why you harp about the refs so much is all.

I am right there with you on being wrong on the celts. I was convinced that they were done...for good.

I have another couple of months before Wall suits up.

Again, acting as if I'm the only one that expresses suspicion about Stern and the referees. It's the goddamn 2-ton elephant in the room for any reasonable basketball fan and has been for over a decade now. I'd love to get into another 700-page argument with you and Chuck about the sainthood of NBA refs, but I'm in too good of a mood right now, so cheers.

I see no evidence of any refs kicking out any team this postseason. I never said they were saints. I have said they are human beings who make mistakes but usually make the right call. the Celtics were the best team in postseason in the East and they are in the finals. By your arguments, Stern and the refs put them there. I think that degrades the team you pull for extensively. I think your team was the best team and that is why they won. I honestly don't think it was a Stern conspiracy to put them there, but which series gets higher ratings?? LA-Boston or Phoenix-Orlando?? ::
