Boston lost the series tonight... there is no doubt about it... Orlando will be up by 20 at some point in game 7 and will not relinquish it this time...

Boston wins this game....but we have to wait and see who the refs will be. Once I saw that Bavetta was reffing Game 6 I got nervous and sure enough he let the game become rag-tag streetball. That favors the Magic. The Celtics cant get to the hole so they need all the gimme's at the FT line

that brings up a good point that needs more discussion...
 
Dick Bavetta specifically, but NBA officials in general...
 
the very fact that Dick Bavetta is still an official in the NBA is absolute conclusive PROOF that the NBA is rigged... it is the ONLY reason you would keep someone so fucking geriatric in such an incredibly important position in such a huge money-making industry... the guy grades out at an F almost every single game he officiates... he frequently misses obvious calls that are 2 feet in front of his face... you always see him straining to hear what other officials are saying to him...
 
the guy is practically in a coma, and yet Stern keeps him on as an official... why are these guys not accountable at all for their job performance?  why???  because you can't have a high turnover rate in a job where the employers are being counted on to be corrupt when needed... you need guys you know are going to "perform" when needed... Bavetta has rigged 1000s of NBA games... he won't be fired until he's dead!
 
Crawford and Salvatori are just as bad... they will surely have long long careers in the NBA... until someone decides this bullshit has gone on long enough and the fans decide they want to actually watch a sport that is decided by the players...

pretty strong accusation there, Ice4blood.  Not saying that you are wrong,  but where is some kind of evidence of this?

I guarantee Crawford and Salvatori are reffing both Game 7s....If so I will sit those games out. But besides that I will be taking both unders because I see whistles being swallowed like they were today.

the evidence is about 30 years worth of watching the NBA... all you have to do is watch how shady the officiating gets in key games during the playoffs, and it always involves a select group of refs, who have all been tenured as NBA officials for a long time...

if the NBA cared about the integrity of its officiating, Bavetta would have been forced to retire 20 years ago... they do not care about quality, they care only about keeping their "Good Ol Boys"...

i've been saying this for several years... it is only a matter of time before all of this comes to light, and not long afterwards the NBA will go into the toilet... and yes i was saying this LONG before the world found out about Tim Donaghy...

in case i wasn't clear... what i was meaning is that the evidence is my eyes... next time there is a game that Bavetta is reffing, spend the entire game just watching him... you will see that he is completely incompetent... to the point that it is bewildering he is allowed to stay on the floor... i promise you there are literally MILLIONS of people who are more qualified to ref an NBA game than Bavetta at this point of his life... and yet for some reason he is allowed to remain in his job, where he directly impacts a multi-billion dollar industry...
 
if you were to create some kind of scale that factored together a job performance rating compared to the importance of the person's job in terms of the amount of money involved and the impact that person has on the industry... i daresay you could not name a single person on the planet who would have a worse score at his job than Dick Bavetta...
