1.  Referees will be on the Lakers side this game in proportions that were not even close to what we saw in Game 2.  As bad as the refs were, many of the experts blame it on the Lakers passiveness after that 2nd quarter...Kobe got the 2 quick fouls and the entire team backed off and gave up on what worked great for them in the 1st quarter.  The Celtics continued to keep up the intensity and got the sympathy touch fouls.  The referees for this game are Joey Crawford, Bennett Salvatore, and Mark Wunderlich.   That should be enough reason right there....only thing that could make it worse is having Ken Mauer thrown in there.  Just sit back and enjoy Laker fans.  This is gonna be ugly for my C's.

i am guessing CMJ isn't so much complaining or conceding as he is drawing attention to, in his words... "The on-going joke that is NBA OFFICIATING"

Nope GoG...just pointing out the obvious that I had stated during the game on Sunday night, after the game on Sunday, and before tonight's game.

As bad as the officials were then, they are going to be worse now.  It's pretty simple...unless you are Jeff Van Gundy because in his mind

"THE NBA IS VERY HARD TO PREDICT"

i don't like the 2nd half under... Pierce and KG missed everything, Allen and Kobe tanking free throws... thinking those things will change in the 2nd half...
 
might want to just ride out your game under...

I'm personally not making another bet in this game. Just giving those that might need it some insight. I am sticking with my 3 solid bets... Under 1stQ, Under game, Lakers ML.

Moneymaker...I'm on the Lakers tonight bro...in a nice little teaser.  Only bet that's looking grim right now for me is Paul Pierce over 20 points.

Lakers need 59 2nd half points to kill the team total.

Lakers need to either win by 12 or lose by 7 in the 2nd half and there needs to be 125 points scored in the 2nd half to kill the teaser.

Of course...I did witness the 4th quarter last game...so anything is possible I suppose

"In one of several allegations of corrupt refereeing, Donaghy said he learned in May 2002 that two referees known as “company men” were working a best-of-seven series in which “Team 5” was leading 3-2. In the sixth game, he alleged the referees purposely ignored personal fouls and called “made-up fouls on Team 5 in order to give additional free throw opportunities for Team 6.”

“Team 6” won the game and came back to win the series, the letter said.

Only the Los Angeles Lakers-Sacramento Kings series went to seven games during the 2002 playoffs. And the Lakers went on to win the championship.

At the time, consumer advocate Ralph Nader and the League of Fans, a sports industry watchdog group, sent a letter to Stern complaining about the officiating in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.

The Lakers, who beat Sacramento 106-102 in that game in Los Angeles, shot 27 free throws in the final quarter and scored 16 of their last 18 points at the line."

Good luck bro.  I dont want to press my luck.  It is way to easy for me to get intoxicated when winning.  I am gonna sit back and enjoy the rest of the game knowing that I am gonna win...the only question for me is how much.  BOL!!
