Rondo for Pau would have been almost as bad as #6 for Gerald Wallace.

I doubt you'll be posting when Miami loses in the Finals........
dream and Sanjuro and Tom Penny aren't whining. It's all the other -ages.

Because he has a higher shooting percentage than you're precious Kome in clutch minutes.
It's not fucking hard to believe, actually, You just deny it because you're a biased fuck.
You forgot that sweet dish to Haslem while Rondo was laying on the other side of the court.
Jordanesque man.
While I absolutely agree that the no-call on Rondo was egregious, I really don't think the "kick" on Wade was bad. It seemed from replays that Garnett contacted Wade's arm before Wade's leg contacted Garnett...in the worst case, it was extremely close.
Not that Wade doesn't get away with that most of the time, but if the refs aren't gonna call it, he's gonna keep using it. Same with Garnett's shitty screens.

That was a series. This has been the playoffs as a whole.
Because our team sucked.
seems to have the same clutch gene as Kobe of late.
Just like rondo saving the celts in game 7 vs the sixers was a one time thing eh?

Chris Broussard is wack but at least he'll call out the officiating here.

Shit half the dudes are Laker fans...LOL...that tells you something.
Dude is now 2-14 in the last two seasons in game winning / tying shots in the final 24 seconds.
By definition, if you're calling him anything other than unclutch, you're cherrypicking the 2 makes over the 12 misses, and countless other deferments moments.

He made two free throws.... after missing the first two.
For free.
Today, BestGAF was all Celtics-Age. Celtics fans will take the fall.

I am still in awe at Rondo. I kind of feel bad for him.

Defending the Celts makes me feel so dirty.
Yeah it is depressing as hell for me to watch one guy have a spectacular performance in a game all for nothing.
2-14 ain't higher than kobe. and kobe, is past his prime. Sit the fuck down clown. And % doesn't mean shit anyway, he's not even his teams first option. Wade is.

Rajon doesn't suck at shooting...it's just one of those myths that people believe. Like Kobe being the ultimate closer.

If Big Baby was on the Celtics they woulda won

Like I said, cherry picking. The 4th quarter isn't 24 seconds long.

Everyone wants to see the Heat crash and burn so badly that they'll root for their team's rivals to beat the Heat. Love it.

I'm complaining about the refs because they were horrendous. I don't have an agenda to push...in fact I'd say it favors the spurs if the heat win.
That shit was awful. Any self-respecting fan of basketball should be disgusted.

But the Heat won despite the refs. Nothing to complain about.
except the whole statistical evidence thing.

I would like to point out that me and Cloving jumped on the Heat wagon before the start of this series.
The 4th quarter isn't the definition of clutch. Dude has no clutch gene, sit the fuck down.
He gets nervous in tight situations, he's not impervious to it, he lacks a clutch gene, his shooting numbers and lack of finals success supports it.

what the hell are you talking about. Miami went to the foul almost Double what Boston did.

Rondo with a consistent jumpshot is pure sex
They're drenched in sweat. That's nasty!
Because Boston kept fouling Lebron every time he went into the paint. The referees have to call most of them.
They must really suck to lose despite referee favoritism.

Is there any legitimate reason why the refs favor Miami so much?
BruceLeeRoy

Garbage! You have to look between the numbers man.
Miami Finals = Spectacular Ratings
Your flailing attempts to apply statistics in a dishonest manner is neither intimidating nor worthy of respect. It's the functional equivalent of a three year old acting out in front of his daycare supervisor.
Where's Cloving when you need him...
Everything good around the big 4 left.....sad really.
You don't understand, the refs were helping Boston by giving them all that rest during the FT breaks!
I like the Spurs, but I'm out. Can't watch this shit over and over.
The NBA needs to realize that basketball is the star, not the players. What Rondo did out there was amazing. The game was enjoyable for a long time. Despite the Lebron narrative resulting in a crapton of FTs, I was intot he game. Who cares now? The game is all about the refs now.
The media will avoid the ref issue, focus on Wade making that layup with the kick. They will focus on Haslem (who deserves it), but the outcome was influenced by a sequence of game turning and deciding calls. That's all people will care about until the media machine rolls it over into Wade heroics.
People brought up the 2003 Kings. By the next season, the NBA was plastering promos with the Horry game 3 shot. That was the third game of a seven game series. That shot only mattered because the refs counted a late halfcourt shot for the Lakers. Yet, because they plastered that three over and over, the remaining story of that series got washed away.
That's how narratives work.
