I see no evidence of any refs kicking out any team this postseason. I never said they were saints. I have said they are human beings who make mistakes but usually make the right call. the Celtics were the best team in postseason in the East and they are in the finals. By your arguments, Stern and the refs put them there. I think that degrades the team you pull for extensively. I think your team was the best team and that is why they won. I honestly don't think it was a Stern conspiracy to put them there, but which series gets higher ratings?? LA-Boston or Phoenix-Orlando?? ::
