Do I sense sore losing already? :D You could make these same statements for ANY team that loses ANY game. They could have been made for SA, Det, Utah, Cle.....that's the game. If there were obvious calls it would be another story. They lost the game, so therefore, they did not deserve to win it. BTW, every team that's played Boston thus far has turned Rondo into a jump shooter......and Boston would have won the game if their shots had been falling all game.....:screwy:

it was a fake job by pierce IMO..bynums now that was a sprained knee

Well yeah, Bynums was for sure, it required surgery. There are many levels of sprain though, minor to severe. Honestly, it's my opinion, your opinion, the next guys opinion....cause we're not in his shoes. Even still, you have to keep in mind, this is the finals. And Pierce's first, and for the sake of reality, possibly his only. He'll play hurt or not. We'll just have to see how he plays out the series.

You know this is so sad that is comes to this in sports...I gave reasons for why his injury wasn't so bad but each time we talk about it more it just makes me think of Dennis Dixon that played for Oregon this year. After tearing his ACL during a good season while they were winning he received shots in his knee to keep him playing. Now the question is what really happened in that locker room during those two minutes. IME 2 minutes is way to short for an IV and fluids but its quick enough for a shot. Ever since that play when he got hurt and came back out so quick it just makes me wonder. I'm not saying he did at all its just a reality in sports these days, people use HGH, and anabolic steroids, hell I just got done watching the Belmont and they said that big brown hadn't received his anabolic shot this month. Its everywhere. Period. Even such a storied franchise such as Boston can be questioned for its use in this day and age. But I have no proof to base these stipulations on I know, but if I were Pierce in possibly my only finals appearance and maybe only and tore or seriously hurt my ACL, I'd get that shot too. These are all just mixed feelings I've had about this situation, but it really comes down to one thing. Dude has a low threshold for pain or he got an injection.

I'm really looking forward to the day I can watch a Celtics game and not have multiple heart attacks.

Now lets see if we can take one on the road...
