^ Yeah, definitely. He's really struggling.

Doc Rivers with a tech? Wooooooow. Normally I don't complain about refs, but they seriously need to think about what they're calling these techs for. Won't be surprised if we see an ejection, haha.

I don't understand the officiating even though I'm a Heat fan. Some of those fouls and techs shouldn't have been called. It's the Playoffs. Eastern Conference Finals you bunch of *bleep*tard Refs!!!

I honestly have no idea how the Celtics are hanging around. They are hitting their shots, and that's about the only explanation. They're playing pretty well on defense, but it isn't doing a whole lot, and outside of their aggressiveness when it comes to rebounding, the Heat are playing very well. Glad they're in it though.

Alright, so that tech was a little bit more deserved. Rondo shook Battier off of him and Battier tripped over some wires. Telling him to cut it out would have sufficed imo though.

Seeing Allen miss these FTs is absolutely mind-boggling.

Edit: Lol @ the refs helping Miami with all these bullshit techs. *bleep* that shit.

I changed the channel to Monday Night RAW because the officiating was so putrid. NBA needs to get this under control or else pro basketball might as well be owned by Vince McMahon and scripted by WWE Writers.

Dan and Joey Crawford have to be the worst refs in basketball today. Why those toolboxes even have jobs is beyond me.

I wouldn't be surprised if the referees were the ones to get fined after this one. Because blatantly bad officiating shouldn't go unpunished, which David Stern has allowed to fester for the longest time.

Referees essentially took the Celtics out of the game. They might as well have the referees enter to Kurt Angle's first Theme song when he was in WWE so the fans could chant that they suck when they get this bad.

But that's what I like about seeing televised games at MSG--the fans tell it to the refs like it is if they're doing a bad job. Philadelphia fans as well; they'll also call it like it is with both using chants including but not limited to "a**hole," "ref you suck," "these refs suck," etc.

A more generic ref bashing call that I hear whilst watching televised games from TD Garden that I pretty much hear everywhere now "Bull shit!"

Regardless of how it gets spun, the bottom line is this: if the fans are talking about the referees after the game, then the referees didn't do a very good job at their job. Same can be said for umpires; the Red Sox caught a break today due to a blown call (for example), which turned into three runs in that inning.

Fantastic second half defense. Really put the pressure on the C's and executed well. I love it!
