Dno how celtics fans fan be all that happy abt their chances after they won w/: a) rig job b) no bron in ot, and less bron in 4th w bc of previous awful calls c) no bosh, d) at home and e) it was a 2 pt win in OT f) wade had a straight awful game for 2 quarters.

I'm pretty comfortable going back to Miami all that said. Sucks they have to play 6 but that's rly all that it means.

doesn't matter, celtics have one great performance tomorrow and then they have a shot to close it out game 6. we're in a position to win the series with a little run good.

teams have been playing rather evenly thus far iyam, i wouldn't be teeming with confidence as a heat fan.

Lol at the clowns who are blaming labron for these losses. Dudes averaging 30/9/5 on 50+ fg% and hit a game tying 3 to send it to ot. yeah, he's been turning it over too much and over- Passing in general IMO but its not his fault the rest of the team other than chalmers and haslem have been awful. if wade and battier can just Play slightly better this series is over in 6. obv that's a big if tho

links to people blaming Lebron?

I'm pretty sure they feel no worse than Heat fans felt after LeBron shot 24 free throws in game two.

lol @ the heat fans calling game 4 a "rig job"

I think overall the refs favored Boston in the standard amount for a home playoff team.

Against all odds I think Iggy does have a point about LeBron- i.e. not all bad calls are created equally and fouling out LeBron has a hugely negative impact on the Heat's win equity. That said, it's not the most impactful thing that a ref can do, for instance calling a bad foul in a tied or 1 point game on the final possession is going to affect equity more. I don't think that LeBron's 6th foul was very different from KG's foul on the C's last possession of regulation, except for the fact that the latter call was more detrimental to the Celtics than the former was to the Heat.

Basically, there is a case to be made for ref WPA except for

1) It wasn't nearly as significant as Iggy was making it out to be
2) A ref can have like a .99 WPA with a single bad call, this does not make a game a riggage.

FWIW the 5th foul on LeBron was legit turrible, but it was made worse by Assani benching him for a minute thereafter. But Doc would have never done that, so you can't blame the fact that LeBron momentarily hit the bench entirely on the refs. Coaching matters, too.

not having a sub 30% shooter take one shot when they got the ball with 21 seconds left?

How can you be so OBTUSE.

just think, you could have just gone on not caring about basketball after the decision and you wouldn't have to perform such mental gymnastics. You could just be chillin'. poor choice.

no bosh wtf dude c's out our catalyst to the best record in east since the break bradley and lost every center to start season no JON no wilcox plus average age 90. didnt hear any of this no bosh complaining a while back it was all how u gonna stop wade old men we gonna rape u.

congrats mensas u figured out c's arent favorites but stop ur whining anatta said str8 out down 2-0 look it up what goes around comes around c's got some calls (so did heat chirst) and won an OT game just like heat did. so now ur team is all hurt and dinged cry me a river c's lost 2 rings cuz of injuries.

yeah, congrats mensas.

u guys are like that book u ever read it teh grinch who sold christmans man this green grinch guy is the boss of the town and umm like there this kid tiny tim who like has a snowman with this magic hat and like he gets the whoos together in town and they kick the snowman over and then these ghosts come and show how wrong that is and like dunno man the grinch and all complain about foot injuries when they were the one's who kicked tiny tims snowman over.

mental gymnastics is such a great pairing of words

Just stopping in to troll nba fanatics who routinely troll ncaa's reffing.

Also was Magic serious on the postgame show when he said Wade should've jumped into the defender instead of taking a wide open shot? 90% chance he says "you can't expect to get that call at the end of a game on the road" if he tried to draw a foul.

thats why you are wrong about everything you say regarding lebron and the heat.

This is all going according to script by David stern, they will make sure this is 7 game series n let Miami win this as BOS in nba finale not gonna do it.Just to show they r not biased they fouled out bron n might do same in gm 5 n let them win final 2

Chris Bosh is expected to return to the Heat lineup for tomorrow's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, according to an ESPN.com ...

The BOSHTRICH

Biggest worry for Celts fans has to be that WAIDS will get less shots.

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

also, for all you C's fans, I hope your going big on Boston +8. Vegas doesn't share your confidence anatta.

A+

tried to tell you clowns

hey ray is running ok and actually trying to d up waids. waids really playing a lot of minutes and asked to do a lot down the stretch and in OT. we might see another waids, and bosh might help, but who knows. that is the X factor. pp, like ray, seems to be most comfortable out there with what he can give with his injury.

anatta not confident really he is a realist, but just a little proud of the guys right now going from 15-17 to 2 wins away from another finals trip.

way too many whistles from those refs joey and the horrible crew. hated when in the 4th c's miss a 3 get a bound and then miss another and get a bound and here we go can they stop em....tweeeeeeeeeeeeeet offensive foul. great d refs way to step up just what we wanted to see.

Sorry, there's only one anatta. Substitutes not accepted.
