C's vs Heat

[Kontradiction]

Calls have very little to do with it, as they have in the first two games. Heat have no energy and no production from anybody not named LeBron. C's are getting. Contributions from everyone. The Heat could help themselves in spite of the calls but they're not. 2-1.

Bullshít Kontra. The calls/non-calls played a big part in deciding the outcome of game 2. They have an affect. Whether or not they are worthy of doing so is open for discussion.

Heat have finally brought some intensity. Set up for an interesting final 5.

C's are the only team i know..that could easily blow a 24 pt lead

How funny would it be if they did blow it

 

[Kontradiction]

I guess the Heat finally decided that they want to play some basketball. It's probably too late though. Tech on KG should be wiped out as a foul occurred before hand. I guess the ratings must have been dropping so Stern put the order in to make things more interesting.

No they didn't. The C's allowing a 12-0 run after having their foot on Miami's throat played a big part. If they hadn't of allowed that, the call would have been a non issue.

But they did allow it making the call a big issue. It's over and it could have cost the C's the game

Ifs can be said with anything...if C's had bradley..if the jets...well we will save that for another day

lets see if the C's can blow this!

I haven't said there weren't other issues that affected game 2 because there were. The calls/non-calls were a factor in deciding the outcome of the game. The fact that you aren't able to recognise that is your problem.

Opposing teams fans have homer glasses on..Miami fans do..as well as Boston fans.

If the same thing happened to Miami..he would be saying the same thing we are saying...just how it is in sports


Why did the C's just give up? This is the one thing that they always do..get a big lead..then say..we won..and stop playing

The issue is the calls/non-calls did affect the game just as much as the Celtics want to take perimeter shots and lack of inside presence. How it's debatable is obviously beyond my method of understanding.

As for the Celtics. They should win this but it's shown once again that as soon as Miami goes uptempo they find it difficult to match their athleticism.

Actually the problem is that your argument is solely based on a "who knows?" perspective, as I stated earlier. Who is to say that the other events wouldn't have transpired still, with the Heat winning by three instead of five? The "who knows" arguments are so fun!

Anyway, C's win. 2-1 with Game 4 on Sunday. I expect contributions from anyone else not wearing #6 on their jersies.

And i think the C's lose next game..just becasue when Miami plays bad..they usually play good next game...trying to squeeze one more in...other wise i have no other sports to watch until football...

Actually, the same thing did happen tonight. The only difference is that I'm objective enough to not use the refs as a crutch. Miami played like absolute sh!t tonight and the Celtics played extremely well. The Heat did enough to lose the game on their own, as the C's did in the first two. The refs were just an afterthought.

No tie game tonight down the stretch with a no call tonight..so really the same thing didn't happen...at all. But think what you want. Heat fans will be like yourself..and Boston fans will be like what we are saying and roles would have been reversed if it happened to miami

Sure it did. The calls went the C's way tonight just as they went the Heat's way in Game 2. The only difference is that Miami sh!t the bed in the second half even worse than the C's did in the third quarter of Game 2 so they weren't in the position for a no call like what happened in Game 2.

That's not a good enough explanation Kontra. When the potential for personnel on the floor is affected by the decisions referees make whether deserved or undeserved that affects the outcome of the game. The level to which that affects the game is a point for topical discussion.

As for the secondary points about team performance and execution on the floor, you've had and will get no argument because we are in agreement.

Right..but it wasn't like game two with a tie game in OT with 2 min to go where any call can change the outcome. The calls should have went the C's way tonight. Home teams always get the favorable calls..there just wasn't that drastic call like game 2..that's all

And, once again, teams have and always can play through bad calls and no calls. The team that the NBA doesn't want to see in the Finals, the most boring team in the NBA, the Spurs, have done it all postseason. In not one game that I have seen them in during the playoffs have they been the beneficiary of the refs. Not ONE. But they have played through it and have won. On the flip side, the C's couldn't do it against the Sixers or the Heat while the Heat (by my count) could only do it once against the Pacers and couldn't do it tonight. I know it's easy to use the refs as a crutch after a tough loss but try to think objectively and realize that there was more that the C's could have done down the stretch in Game 2 to help themselves. Not letting LeBron and Wade get into the lane at will is the biggest of them all. And get into the lane at will was something they did with alarming regularity even after the Rondo no call.

Because the Heat played like extreme ass. The Celts played like less ass in Game 2, but still ass nonetheless, which was why they were in the position for that call. Furthermore, they still had ample opportunities to stay in he game even after the Rondo no-call and didn't. That's on them, not the refs or the Heat. Just like the Heat had ample opportunity to actually play some interior D after cutting the lead to 8 tonight and didn't. Sure they got hosed throughout the game, but they still had the chance to draw even and maybe win it. They didn't. And, because they didn't, the refs and the calls are an afterthought.
