There is ONLY so much a ref can do......The sixers were in deep trouble in the first half and the refs gave them a huge leg up......
How does a team shooting 23% , settling for jumpers had taken 21 FT's to the celtics 5 FT's...
That is enough to keep there heart beat going......The momentum started to shift furing the 3rd qtr and the refs work is complete.
The refs cannot "put the ball in the hoop" but they sure as hell can alter momentum, thats all they can do.....
The reality is, if we were sitting here 6-7 years ago when the suns played the spurs in the conference finals and the same thread came up, you will still be saying the same thing, where as in reality it was fixed, but we only found out about it much later, and we only found out about it by chance, because it wasnt the NBA who caught Donaghy, it was the FBI, and that was because they were investigating something completely different...
Amazing how people still put their faith in stern, who has clealry shown he isnt capable of catching cheats...
Some people naivity is amazing.
PS, for the record, i had under 87.5 first half in this game.
