Why is Doc Rivers so bad at coaching a basketball team? He's been doing it for a while. He REALLY has to play House instead of Cassell. Everybody knows that.

On both sides of the floor. He's just old, he ain't the same one no more. That's why they gave him Game-1 and not Game-5, 6 or 7. He's still the most respected one, but he's done. Anyway we gotta keep it real: Celtics won not because of those calls, but because they played better than us.

Damn. Kobe just disappeared in the second half.

And we were close till 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. Ok, Dick made some disgusting calls in the 2nd quarter. But we still lost the game because of our own.

I'm sure you were shouting your ass off at some of those horrendous calls harder than I was.
^I see what you're saying and I never like to blame the refs...I think ultimately, the Lakers coulda' won the game with or without the refs. But that doesn't mean that the refs didn't contribute to the lack of flow in our offense during the 4th quarter.
I'm surprised no one mentioned the TERRIBLE officiating...Lakers will NOT win 5-on-8. Shit better be different in LA...That said, I'm not worried at all. We played like complete shit, got terrible calls down the stretch, and still had a chance to win. We're gunna win the next one in Boston, then the next 3 at home...PeACe
and the dagger was that hustle play by garnett that led to a sam cassel jumpshot, they got a 5 point lead with that shot....if that would of been a backcourt violation we would of had a chance to cut the deficit to 1 point or tie the game......we need to get a fucking split..
