OFFICIAL: GAME 2 NBA FINALS CELTICS VS. LAKERS 6.6.10 8PM ETC ABC

[18th letter]

Celtics

I can't believe that I slept through the entire game though

Jesus

 

[thekryptonite]

Still won despite all those horrible calls. Yeah, the ball came off KG towards the end but that was nothing compared to some of the calls the Lakers were getting.

 

[fearless]

we were screwed up by the refs at the end of the game, +#%@ the refs

 

[rafabio]

Glad Boston tied up this at 1 a piece...despite the best attempts of the referees...41 to 26 in free throws smh....loved the and-1 phantom call that Kobe got...pathetic.

Ray Allen is that dude.

Boston probably won't win the middle three games (has any team ever done that?), so they're probably going to have to win in LA again.

 

[etvin]

refs were terrible tonight.

Foul on Pierce blocking Artest? Blowing possession call even after instant replay? So many questionable calls; this crap is terrible. This ticky tack foul style should be reserved for exhibition.

 

[acbboyz84]

Stern want to extend this series eh

how the hell can he play when the refs are determined to take him out of the game??

True those were some $$%**%!% calls but there were $$%**%!% calls every where tonight. Worst officiated game in a while for both sides.

Of course.  I cant wait to read all the crap Laker fans are going write about the refs.  The refs were horrible, but were NOT one sided.  Bad calls both ways.  Move on to game 3.

 

[wallyhopp]

i think almost every teams fans but the cavs and lakers are more in terms with how the officiating is. they are grounded in the fact that it usually goes against them. But this right here is a straight up laughfest for me.

 

[knightngale]

It is impossible for the Lakers to win if Kobe is in foul trouble.

This is exactly like game 2 of 2008. Kobe gets phantom fouls and gets taken out of the game.
He should be aware by now that every time he posts up Allen it is gonna be an automatic offensive foul.

Phil Jackson did everything in his power to keep the Celtics in the game. Kobe should have stayed in the 3rd and let the lakers get a cushion.
Then he takes out Gasol AND kobe in the 4th. That was a wrap.

How is it possible for Lamar to play worse than Rashad Lewis?
The defense on Allen in the first half was ATROCIOUS.

I still feel confident considering that Allen will not make 8 threes in a game again and I don't think Kobe will be foul trouble either.

If any of the bench guys show up in Boston we can win a couple there.

i cant even blame Kobe for this performance. the refs took him out of the game, to make up for taking Ray out of Game 1.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I hate to bring the refs into it but damn.

But give the Celtics credit they outplayed them tonight. Lakers gotta get focus going to Boston for 3 games

70+ points were from the line...how do you guys even justify crying ref?

BOSTON THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The refs were equally garbage for both teams.   Any one that says different is just a homer.

the hell does that have to do with the refs sitting kobe on some bull?? I dont care if Rey goes for 60+ we locked down KG and Paul if kobe plays more your gona tell me it doesnt matter in the overall outcome of the game that was a tie-3point game down the stretch?

 

[hybridsoldier23]

Seriously $!#* this dude

 

[abstrakt]

Word... the officiating made the game virtually un-watchable.

He could at least give an effort. He made no effort whatsoever to involve himself in the game when the Celtics went on a 10-0 run. Before he hit that long 3, Artest brought the ball up the court and Kobe just stood there and didn't even try to demand the ball, and he just left Artest on an island by himself. It felt like Kobe didn't even know he was playing in the Finals.

I literally felt like I was in the twilight zone in the second half, part of it was just absolutely miserable refereeing on both ends that made it impossible for either team to get in any kind of a flow. I would literally say that a third of the fouls called tonight were just not even close. The other part was it just looked like the Lakers fell asleep for the last few minutes of the game and just watched. Pathetic. Aside from Bynum and Pau at times, the whole rest of the team should be ashamed of themselves. Like, I really don't even know what to say.

 

[inine5]

refs were bad on both ends. lakers got called for touchy fouls, celtics got called when they made blocks.

 

[dland24]

at Laker fans blaming the refs. The refs were horrible both ways. In no way, did the refs screw you and favor the Celtics.

 

[badmoonrison]

Ray was

Rondo was

Kobe was

Refs were

 

[Truth]

worst officiated game ever

it must be something about those game 2 finals

how do you look at the replay and it CLEARLY went off KG & Boston still gets the ball smmfh

 

[tmoney85]

1) Kobe had 3 offensive fouls that were NOT really fouls.

2) That last out of bounds play was out on KG, and even after they "reviewed" it, they still gave it to the Celtics.

3) Shannon Brown let Allen have all those threes. Why didnt Sasha play in the first half when Allen was hitting all those threes.

4) Trade Lamar to a midwest sorry team (i.e Grizz) and lets go run on train on his ogre fat ugly wife. Odom is sorry.

Seriously.  Celtic fans have just as much of a right to complain about the refs
