Again, acting as if I'm the only one that expresses suspicion about Stern and the referees. It's the goddamn 2-ton elephant in the room for any reasonable basketball fan and has been for over a decade now. I'd love to get into another 700-page argument with you and Chuck about the sainthood of NBA refs, but I'm in too good of a mood right now, so cheers.

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?? ::

I never said they influence every single thing that happens in the playoffs. I just don't think they're the totally impartial arbiters you and Chuck do. Again, I'm too giddy to deal with this right now, have a good night HoC.

Even when I say the Celtics are the best team and that is why they are where they are, you still can't agree with me!! When you pump the conspiracy non-stop, then see it's actually your team that may be winning titles in 2 of the last 3 years, it sort of all comes crumbling down around you doesn't it!!

Good night ateam....it's always fun!
