Blake Griffin might be the most exciting player in the NBA. What a freak!

"I don't care if James Naismith was guarding me, which would be scary because he's dead," Gay said. "I really don't care who's guarding me to be honest with you."

Can we get a petition to get Dick Bavetta to retire from officiating? He is too old to even be doing these games... TWICE he didn't get down the court fast enough to see that a Raptors player was standing completely in the circle under the rim & missed two blocking calls and called them charges

Figured it would be obvious since I made the statement lol ....... Boston just looks FLAT & Uninterested ..... Same thing they did last year that cost them home court.... Still don't help that Toronto has been in the Bonus with 6 minutes or more to go in every quarter so far

Call me a homer if u want but this game was taken from the Celtics PLAIN and SIMPLE ... up 1 w/ 19 seconds left the Raptors Intentionally reach in to foul Ray Allen to send us to the FT line and they don't call it ( IN a game where there were 55 Total Fouls called & 77 FT attempts taken) and they say Ray lost the ball and then Nate Robinson gets called for a foul while BEHIND Amir Johnson after we secured the rebound and Toronto shot 2 FT's w/ 2.7 left.... Bavetta needs to retire it's just that simple

Looks like a good no call on Allen and a foul on Robinson.

90% of the time your teams lose, you respond with a post like this.

They showed the slow motion replay & even the Raptors announcers thought he hit Ray's side for the intentional foul causing him to lose the ball .... Nothing can be done about it anyway, Boston for 3 1/2 Quarter didn't deserve to win this game but for the last 1/2 Quarter Toronto didn't either..... Just kinda crazy that in a game with 55 fouls called the refs swallow their whistle on the most obvious one ...... Same team from last year, thinking they can coast through games and only turn it up when they are must wins. Also w/o Rondo there was NO ball movement & very sluggish... Ahhh Well, Rant over lol

When people say, "The NBA is fixed", all they need to do is point to the 65 year old officials as evidence. I have no idea how some of those guys are employed as NBA referees. The game is so fast, that to have a 65 year old official is just comical.

Pretty much the story of their season thus far. I don't think they have played a game that they shot less than 30 FTs and at least doubled up the other team as far as attempts.

Also, osu are you happy with the refs tonight? I can only assume so since Boston won.

Do you know who was guarding him. I assume Rush, since he got a ton of minutes and a start, which hasnt been the case all year. That and Posey got a lot more minutes than he has been getting.
