We Are All Witnesses

I’m not going to another Celtics home game until the team is rebuilt. I’m not going to risk going to a game with the supposed “Big Three” and the Celtics failing miserably at showing effort whatsoever.

I’m done.

Cavs in 6.

i stopped watching in the first quarter. who wants to wager with me that Sunday’s game will have Bill Kennedy in the officiating lineup?

Never seen doc the way he looked in the postgame interview.

That’s all, folks.

Long live 2008!

Nobody’s beating Orlando

we think we’re all that. we’ve played lousy at home all year so I’m not shocked by tonight, it’s disheartening that it keeps happening to this team but I’m not surprised. I was kinda hoping we had put this behind us butobviously there is a problem with this team that won’t go away until we change the personnel. how does pierce play 3 mediocre games like this?? he is th ebiggest mystery of all

I watched the 8min and watched the refs call foul after foul after. They not even hiding it..they took the celtics out the game early with foul trouble then sat back watched the celtics play tentative in order to stay in the game.

That was some screwed up officiating and im sorry to have seen it that bad.

going 27-27 after christmas seems justified tonight. no heart, no guts,
tells you the story of the entire season. you’re looking at a chameleon,
two-face, jeckyll and hyde, whatever you want to call them.
again, this is not an issue of age. this is all about effort, heart and a
sense of urgency.
again, why not recreate what went right the 1st 2 games?
for me, it’s like taking the same exam over and over and giving
different answers, even if you know the correct ones.
unbelievable, and i’ve heard common sense is a very overrated word….
sshheeesshh!!!

There should’ve been one in Boston with the way the C’s got blown away!

give a few knocks on the heads of these c’s (except rondo), and
say “did you even learn anything in practice or the 1st 2 games?!”
if i guess right, i think this is a case of, “dont worry guys, we
have home court, they’re dead, they cant get back”.
guess what? wham!!!! they got home court back…

If we want a shot at this series.

Ive seen my share of screwy officiating but you mean tell me that at the start of the game how Lebron hacked Perkins trying to block his shot with no whistle then turn around and call that ticky tack foul on Sheed guarding Side show Bob?

The home team usually gets home cooking from the refs which make what i saw even more faulty.

10 Ft’s the Cavs took when i turned the tv. It wasnt like they were all slashing to the basket. Then i turn back and Pierce blocks A.J.’s shot he falls as if he was murdered and KG was charged with a foul! Yall can talk about the Celtics lack of intensity..and lack of defense..but i know what i saw and im sure millions of other people who shook their heads as if to say “Here we go with the officials inserting their will in the game early”

Making a mental note of those of you who want to tag the officiating with a loss on a night when this club’s effort was totally insufficient and embarrassing on both ends of the floor.

Quit making excuses. This club was historically bad tonight – no effort, no focus, no intelligence on either end of the floor.

The whining about officiating is growing to Real GM levels on this board.

Where is brickowski?

The NBA will not allow cleveland to lose more than 2 games at the most in this series.

Well if that good they should be able to win it wthout the help of the refs. Even game 2 was one sided as far as officiating was concerned. It was Boston’s great shooting that won that game. Over the course of a 7 game series, that work once or twice.

I think just about every time I’ve come on here after a Celtics loss, half of the comments blame officiating and the refs “having it in” for the Celtics by “giving” Cleveland the win. Why can you not accept that you were beaten? Some fans here…I applaud you..you see it as it truly was…simply a Celtics lost, not some NBA conspiracy against the C’s. The Celts were called for fewer personal fouls than the Cavs, while shooting…wait..how many?! A whopping 5 fewer free throws than the Cavs that game!!! But hey..those five points could’ve made the difference. I’m sick of fans blaiming the refs because they can’t accept that their team lost (to a very good team at that).

and we all know who played Ned Beatty;s character.

LeBron certainly played well. HIs jump shot was falling. However, since the Celtics attmepted to win without playing defense of any sort while not putting any effort into their offense and with no visible effort by the coachiing staff to change things I am not sure how great LeBron was.
I think the fine on Ainge was ridiculous. I also thought it was ridiculous for LeBron (he of the famous crab travel, sorry LeBron it is not a dribble) to be crying about not getting his way while charging into Nate Robinson and then having the officials change the call to suit the enabled one. I think LeBron and Kenny Mauer should both be fined for that act.

PP can definitely guard Lebron. Remember how well he did in 6 of 7 games in 2008. The one he didn’t do good in, he scored almost as many as Lebron but had a far better game because he took less shots and setup more teamates and whatnot where Lebron took a hell of a lot more shots to score 7 more points.

I also think Lebron is nothing as long as the refs don’t make him untouchable, which they most certainly do. And his jump shot only falls maybe one game in twenty, even the refs can’t give him a jump shot.

It’s not over yet.

it seems the big three can’t keep up with the younger cavs …. but it’s not over by no means …. and um the person who goes by “celtics own the refs” your a real moron what an idiot

Language and disrespect shouldn’t be allowed. I thought this was a family friendly blog.
