Last night's game was well officiated, imho. But there was that missed call against Kobe, which lead to the Boston HC getting T'd.

Scrapper, as for Wilbon, imagine if he were to be thrown to wolves and officiate a men's D1 pre-season game; I think he'd change his mind quite quickly. I like PTI too, but comments like the one he made are worthless.

Looks like it is the Celtics in 5.

The T was well-earned, tho, don't you think?

I really can't argue your point because I never saw any of last night's game. And since you've never lied to me before.....

I will say that as a general comment on Wilbon and most commentators.....it's easy as hell for me to cherry-pick comments from some of 'em that might agree with some of my own personal beliefs...but....it's also usually just as easy to find comments from the same or other commentators that are completely antithetical to the same or maybe some other of my beliefs. You gave a good example above. It goes back to the old "opinions are like azzholes" analogy, I guess, which is probably apt in this discussion. And ultimately, who's to say who's opinion is right or wrong?

All I can really say for sure is how I feel. And I personally don't have a clue what actually constitutes a foul in the NBA today.

I don't think so. I think he could have given Doc a little leeway seeing he had a pretty good gripe about the non-call. Not a lot mind you...just a little.

I didn't understand it. Does the NBA have any sort of policy about ABS? Or maybe the NBA has a policy of zero-tolerance about certain things being said.

I'm not very good at reading lips, so on the replay I still couldn't determine what was said by Rivers.

Kobe gets the award for quote of the week, and I'm not even a big Kobe fan:

1) Brooks (Avery) is still looking for a coaching job. Doc Rivers was the guy who got hit with the T, I think.

2) Rivers was off the bench like a shot and nearly ran to the Lead official. I think that probably was his leeway.

3) He continued in the official's ear in transition, telling him three times by name that he missed the foul.

Was it last year that the NBA made such a big deal of its stricter bench conduct enforcement? I don't know if those guidelines are still in effect, but if they are then the T was a no-brainer. Even without those particular guidelines, I think Doc earned it.

You're right, my bad.

I got the feeling that Kobe thought that the media woud laugh after he said this comment. When they didn't, he had to continue with saying something else.

Did anyone else get that feeling, or was I reading too much into Kobe's interview?

As far as I know, the NBA does not have a policy about ABS, or even PECS or LATERALS. The WNBA might, though. Let's hope so.

One year ago, I certainly never thought this would happen. I was hoping for the #1 draft pick. When that didn't happen, I figured it was going to be another 25-30 win season.

Unbelievable game. Great defense, fun to watch. I guess Ray Allen wasn't washed up after the Cleveland series, after all.
