The guys writing the recaps hardly ever complain about refs, their job is to write about the team. The people making comments aren't Celtic fans? OK, got it. Your attempt to validate the refereeing is straight comedy. You pick an article about Rondo and say "see, no ref complaints." LMAO.

Didnt realize the blogging sector in the job market was so lucrative that people are getting paid so much to do them that they wouldnt notice all these terrible calls. I guess David Stern controls all the information flow.

I didnt pick anything, I just posted links, perhaps the more pertinent stroy was further down the line?

I am not attempting to validate anything. I just thought that if the refs were so terrible than someone with some credentials however flimsy would be writing about them.

How bad could the refs have been? Rasheed didnt even get a T.

The refs didnt play the defense that let the Cavs back in the game. There was one three that Lebron hit at the end of the game where Pierce literally has his back to him. I guess he learned all of those great defensive fundamentals from Roy Williams at KU.

The celtic bench was outscored 26-12 and their big 3 was outshot by the cav big three. ultimately, this put them in a position where the refs could have a say in the outcome.

The hack on pierce with the game tied that wasnt called was pretty huge. I don't think Stern sits in his office and pushes a button but I don't doubt that the refs have an idea of which way calls need to go if there is a grey area.

Fix games? No. Have the grey area go a certain direction? You are acting like this is some kind of original idea. You are acting like refs are beyond reproach. Even the FBI says that they found some truth in Donaghy's claims. Are they being ridiculous as well?
