pains me to say this ice, but I'm with you on the Celts train for game 4. I believe David Stern will once again send down his foot soldiers with orders from de FUHR

This time, the foot soldiers will be all over Boston and I see a lot of bad calls going AGAINST Mr. Kobe Bryant. Phil Jackson did not complain as much after game 3 as he did game 2, therefore he will not get the same calls. Doc Rivers on the other hand was FURIOUS with the calls on Pierce and Rasheed.

It will be very interesting to see the ref assignments. Once Tim breaks them down in the morning, I will be placing my bet and determing it's size.

I was looking forward to hearing your comment on the subject, although I'm pretty sure I know what you would say

sorry SC... just watching the hockey game... but yea, i agree of course... i am not going to get into the details of what i have seen so far in the 3 games... but suffice to say, this is the first time in the series the Celtics won't have the refs against them...

even if the game is just called straight up Boston will win it... if Stern decides to lend a hand, it will be a blowout...

I disagree to an extent. the refs were all over Boston in game 2 especially that crucial review that clearly hit off KG's hand late in the 4th quarter. Kobe had 5 fouls and two of them clearly were absolute bullshit.

but i do agree boston will lay the lakers down in game 4.

i broke down game 2... the refs worked harder to screw Boston in game 2 than they did the other 2 games... Boston was not supposed to win that game...

like i said, i did a break down of that game earlier today, and of the 3 games, the refs were more biased against Boston in game 2 than games 1 and 3...

Hmmm. I guess Stern must be ripping the refs for missing the Garnett out-of-bounds play in G2. Or for giving Kobe FIVE fouls, 3 of which were bull***t. Never mind that Kobe is infinitely more valuable to the Lakers than any individual Celtic

Man, if the refs were trying that hard to HELP the Lakers, then they sure have a funny way of showing it.

Lakers have dominated most of this series. They really look like the better team for now. BTW, can you tell Doc that if he's gonna call out Derek for flopping, it'll really draw attention to Pierce, Ray, Big Baby, KG and Rondo for their flops?

composite please... i'm not interested in debating that stuff... SC asked for my opinion... if you don't want it, you don't need to listen to it... this thread is to post my plays and discuss picks...

Line should be higher but Joe loves throwing $$ at the Lakers.

Game 3 was a sloppy display for the most part save D. Fish in the 4th and KG (1Q) & Big Baby. Good D contributed.

Refs called up a shit sandwich then shoved it down our throats!.

Fouls hurt both sides. Expect this to be a better called game. (PLEASE!!) Don't like badly called games even in my favor.

3 of Celts key 4 were still celebrating with Allen from game 2.

Lakers out D'd & out scrapped the Celts. Won't happen tonight.

Lots of bricks game 3. Not as many tonight.

Very emotional win/loss situation. Lakers coming down, Celts amped up.

Kobe, and Lakers bench plays better. Bynums knee is hurting. (NF)

Allen, Rondo and Pierce play better.

With you on the Celts tonight but not the total. This one goes over.

Celts -1 (1Q)

Celts -2 (1H)

Celts -3.5 (FG) lean

2nd half in play.

The ref's have determined the outcome of all three games thus far and will continue to do so..if crawford and bennette are reffing (especially at the same time) then there is some shady shit going on.....crawford is sterns right hand man(as far as ref's are concerned) and bennette is in the mob's pocket...you don;t own the nicest/fanciest steak restaraunt in Miami off a nba ref's salary without some outside help...just my thoughts ..you can correct me if you think i'm wrong....BOl to you all..the square play is boston but for the sake of the prolonged series boston takes it down tonight...ray allen will actually make shot's and pierce will not be in foul trouble...kg is finally found his way out there as well....

GL Ice, let's hope the big three can finally show up together along with Rondo.

thanks people...

quick points... i'm not loving the under too much anymore... i might drop that down to a small play before game time...

Gimmethepoints... Crawford, Salvatorre and Bavetta never work as part of the same crew... they are always a lead official...

i'm not sure what to make of this reffing crew... i'm really just hoping this is a game that the NBA leaves alone... hard to imagine they would favor the Lakers, but it is not out of the question... Foster certainly tends to favor the Lakers...

Futures

Celtics (+800) to win in 5

Celtics (+210) to win the series (3U)

Celtics series bet is 3 different bets averaged out... (+180) before Orl-Bos game 6... (+160) before Bos-LA game 1... (+290) before Bos-LA game 4...

if Celtics lose tonight, i will probably have a big play on them in game 5... if they win tonight, i will probably have LA ML in game 5, and Bos ML in games 6 and 7...
