That ball came nowhere close to the rim !!!!!!!

The NBA better watch out, their game is going into the shitter.

It is clearly not what it used to be, not just refs - players - coaches - owners - fans.

Dino I see your point and I do believe certain elements in the NBA are doctored (hmmmm shitty markets minnesota and seattle finish lower than they're projected lottery finish year in year out and CHICAGO wins the lottery at 1.7%).

I would not put it past Stern to manipulate officials and what not but I still think Boston wins that game 9 out of 10 times. The cover? Fully expected a loss or two point win for Boston by the time the 4th started.

They do have championship resolve...... with a little boost?

Posting and most likely gambling

Really, I thought you were an institution. How long have you been capping and posting? Are you just taking a break or giving it up for good?

[PW52]

boston was tired and looked old for 3 1/2 quarters

orlando has the better team and players in my opinion with garnett and powe out

shit... Orlando was favored to win the series

the spread was - 2.... I dont know why you think boston wins that game 9 of 10 times

orlando dominated that game for 44 minutes- i dont understand the mentality of " boston wins that game 9 of 10 times

orlando already won in boston ( game 1 ) and should have made it 2 of 3 tonight

this isnt last years boston team

they are missing one of the 10 best players in the leauge

they are old

the bulls series drained them

i just dont understand your statement that boston wins that game 9 of 10 times

Sounds good greek, making money the old fashioned way. You have to let us know where your place is, when when in Chicago we'll stop by for a pie and a brew!

[PW52]

Because this is what they do, they hang around, hang around and lull you to sleep keeping the game close enough so that an 8-0 run will make the younger less experienced team crumble.

I just don't think is Orlando very good. They almost lost to philly who lost to boston's and cleveland's second strings when they needed to win.

They know how to win, they do have that the thing that the bulls/celtics/lakers have traditionally had - the "championship resolve".

Or it could be called the "Stern Resolve?"

I guess I am not quite sure if I'm in denial about the extent of fixing that goes on that is market based.

I hope none of this is taken negatively Dino just a good conversation.

Not too mention SVG's ineptness

sounds good dino, I've only driven thru chicago, never visited. next time thru I'll be sure to stop in. gotta love that chicago pie!! we will miss you around here.

[vols fan]

IMO I would rather watch a game that has a close score with a chance for a close call to decide the game than watch a game like Clevland winning by double digits 8 times in a row.The refs IMO are the equalizer in basketball and you never know how there going to call a game.Sometimes they let them beat and bang and sometimes they call every foul out there.I bet 1 unit a game on NBA that way if it's fixed or theres a bad call that goes against me(seems it always does) I don't feel to bad about it

It's not that the refs call it different from game to game w/ the fouls...it's that they call it different from quarter to quarter and there is absolutely no consistency. The players seem annoyed as well because no one knows what to do.

I still can't believe if Dwight got suspended that Rondo didn't...after the play on Miller and then throwing Hinrich into the scorer's/announcer's table, you would think.

I know when I played basketball if I intentionally grabbed someone by the arm and whipped them into a damn table I would have been tossed.
