    Refs and Stern conversation after the game...

    Stern: WTF Happened there?!?! Idiots!
    Refs: We tried, sir. We are so sorry. We even tried to give them the game in regulation and decide it by ourselves but Paul couldn't knock down the free throw. Anything after that would have been too apparent
    Stern: I don't care! If people think we are cheating hopefully we will get more ratings! Boston cannot lose in the 1st round! Do I make myself clear!
    Refs: Yes sir... won't happen again.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Has he won games with zero other talent? Probably not. No one ever has.

    Do the fans in Cleveland realize this is a playoff game?

    You aware that we gave as many gifts to Bulls as the refs gave to us. Rondo taking multiple bad gambles, and the team opting for Ray Allen and Glen Davis over Pierce on two occasions.

    Well 1-2 =/= 85%. Either way, the arguement is moot because one party says he didn't choke under pressure and he just missed, the other says he did. Its impossible to prove (only Paul would no, and he would never admit it) so there is no right/wrong answer here.

    Ray Allen made John Starks proud with that performance.

    You can't shoot 80-85% on two free throws. He shot 5-6 for the game. Which is....83.33%. ;)

    Well there ya go. Hopefully (for your sake at least) they get those corrected. IDK why Pierce didn't get that last shot but I suppose they thought Allen was more open/had the better shot? Either way, I was stunned with both team's shot selection (at least players who were taking the shots).

    Anyway, go CLEVELAND!

    I am aware that Boston really only had one superstar and without him are an afterthought in the playoffs. LOL.

    Did Van Gundy just compare Phil Collins to David fucking Hasselhoff?

    Surprising since aren't Browns fans crazy? And Indians fans when they were good, they were pretty loud I thought?
