Meanwhile, 55-42 Boston at the half.

IAmRight: Nice shot of KG grabbing LeBron by both shoulders, pulling him back, then pushing him back forward when the shot goes in.

Welcome to Boston. Sucks for you don't it. This is the NBA.

Sorry, there's no other thread.
We'll leave soon.

Seriously guys, baseball is boring as shiat. A no-hitter? Sounds like a real romp.

It's also the Mets. So GTFO... And I say that with all humiltiy and respect.

Hey guys, let's not be like the hockey fans, give the baseball dudes some respect.

No it most definitely isn't... nice to see another arsenal fan on here though

Oh man, we had EPL threads every weekend this season, lots of Gunners fans there. You should look for them when the season starts up again. Fun threads.

/hopefully we keep RvP, but I'm scared

Awesome, sounds better than texting back and forth with my dad, the world's biggest chelsea supporter...

Check out the sports tab from the last day of the season. Over 600 posts, and the drama was palpable. The threads are great fun, even if they are ungodly early.

IAmRight: Garnett actually got called for a moving screen? WTF?

Welcome to the farce that is the NBA. The one you refused to see Monday. Celts are at home and the league wants another game... So far. Or at least a good show of it.

/Shoe.

//Other foot.

Amazing! Congrats Mets fans

Go C's ! B

I'm just pointing it out. I expected the refs to let the Celtics get away with a lot more BS tonight as the Celtics get a home win.

I didn't refuse to see it. It happens. I don't care, I'm just pointing it out.

This is a good point. I retract and apologize. Just maybe not do much in the 3rd.

As the Boston fans like myself were the other night. And Saturday (where I was clear it wasn't the refs fault C's lost). You called us whiners. I'm just pointing that out too.

I'm a big time fan of football and basketball and a casual fan of hockey and baseball.

There are a few of you that went unhinged.

Actually, for the vast majority of the game, like I said, no one was even commenting about it. Just after that no-call in OT and from then on.

Agree to disagree. Game on. Good luck to your squad.

I watch every sport I possibly can. Cricket's exciting if you have enough beers in you.

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:13:47 PM

I guess Brandon Bass is going to be the Steimsma of this game, taking quick, dumb fouls to even the numbers out.

/btw, Heat, you might want to try grabbing a rebound
//Bass, you would've been fine if you hadn't gotten that elbow up after lowering the shoulder
///looks like the Heat are going to get a bunch of calls until they're in this

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:14:47 PM

Of course, if the Heat continue to shoot FTs the way they have, the Celtics are all going to foul out before they can get themselves back in the game.

cameroncrazy1984		2012-06-01 10:15:05 PM

Nice pass by Pierce.

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:16:10 PM

Looks like it's time to just tank this one like the Spurs did. Can't make sh*t from anywhere.

SevenSeven		2012-06-01 10:17:19 PM

That was an obvious walk on PP. I'm rooting for the C's but holy hell...NBA refs suck.

YouSirAreAMaroon		2012-06-01 10:17:27 PM

Nice move by Pierce.

robsul82		2012-06-01 10:17:51 PM

Also a Celts fan but yeah that was embarrassing.

IAmRight: Of course, if the Heat continue to shoot FTs the way they have, the Celtics are all going to foul out before they can get themselves back in the game.

I expect the Heat to have around 10 more FTs. Younger and quicker. Just common sense. I missed most of the first. Had it on but was banging out a report a co-worker absolutely farked up. What's the pace tonight ref wise. Tight? Loose? Lopsided?

YouSirAreAMaroon		2012-06-01 10:19:20 PM

Have you been in a POW camp or something? That hasn't been a walk in nearly 20 years.

Does anybody remember anyone beyond a HS game getting called for palming?

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:24:50 PM

Okay retards, if LeBron is not touching the ball on offense, you're wrong. He's the only motherf*cker producing AT ALL. And you don't even let him have the ball?

Waxing_Chewbacca: What's the pace tonight ref wise. Tight? Loose? Lopsided?

It's been loose with occasional spurts of calls. There was really only one questionable stretch for the Celtics which involved calling a play an offensive goaltend (seems like something you should be able to review later, to be honest), but otherwise not bad.

Heat can't hit sh*t and the Celtics are actually getting to the hoop and figuring out that hey, when you get inside, you score.

/also, the Heat need to spend the entire day tomorrow shooting FTs

Waxing_Chewbacca: Does anybody remember anyone beyond a HS game getting called for palming?

I saw it happen a couple times this postseason.

/one was a blatant palm to the point where you couldn't conceivably not call it - the guard reared back to fire a pass, then saw a defender and pulled it down and dribbled again.

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:27:23 PM

Heat are scoring but you don't go on runs if you don't stop the other team from scoring. And when you're down 19, matching baskets oddly doesn't cut it.

/NO DON'T CALL FOULS ON THE CELTICS WE CAN'T MAKE FTS

Agreed , just saying.

This game is bullshiat, fark the Celtics, fark Boston, I hope a Kennedy dies tomorrow.

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:29:02 PM

Okay that was retarded.

Nice pick by Rondo, but I don't see how that's a blocking foul.

SevenSeven		2012-06-01 10:29:02 PM

RONDO...GETTING IT GOING AGAIN!!

Langston		2012-06-01 10:29:24 PM

That I was good at. I could drive and I could shoot from 20. 5 to 15 feet. Beyond awful!

IAmRight		2012-06-01 10:30:31 PM

Why should it be Celtics ball? Didn't look like it deflected off anyone.

/we never get replays of calls, just replays of baskets

It's not going away. Refs try to call fouls to get games to get closer, but the Heat can't make FTs, so it's never going to get closer. Also, there's no defense for the Heat, either.

Schroedinger's Glory Hole		2012-06-01 10:33:35 PM

And for the record, LeBron James did not lose this game. The Miami Heat lost a game tonight. "LeBron James of the Miami Heat" lost a game tonight. But the man, LeBron James, did not.
