Those of you who have been with us for a while know that I have many a times bashed the NBA officiating. However, last night’s performance was nothing short of embarrassing. I now realize there is a reason that the Lakers have not lost at home this postseason, and that is the fact that the officiating is so favored toward them its preposterous. Ever time Kobe stepped inside the key he was fouled, even twice I counted when he was literally not touched. Heck, he shot twenty odd free-throws in the first half! That’s utterly ridiculous. I know the NBA wants this series to go more than five, but do they have to make it as obvious as how much they wanted this series to begin with? All I have to say is that the Celtics got robbed last night. I know, Doc Rivers is doing almost as bad a job as the refs (1: Why on earth is Sam Cassel seeing the light of day, he’s awful? And why isn’t Rondo running the O for at least 40 minutes? 2: Putting Ray Allen on Kobe 1 on 1 in the closing minutes. Ray might be a great defender, but even I’m not stupid enough to realize that you got to double and make someone else beat you.), but considering Pierce and Garnet had an off night, they were in it until the very end, and the Celtics played against the Lakers and the Refs, I think we all realize how much of a mismatch this really is.
