The NBA Officials Will HEAVILY Favor Boston Game 2

[Seaweed]

The NBA is being criticized for predictable outcomes, no drama etc

They need the entertainment factor

Its a do or die game for Celtics...MUST WIN!

I am putting $75 on Celtics ML

[lakerboy]

Lol.

[unde0087]

and they weren't be criticized up until now for the shit playoffs?

[Covering the #]

Better off parlaying Cle ml and over. Maybe the spread also. Think the over is golden all series unless it goes up around 225 ish.

[symptoms]

cleveland will not lose a game to boston even if refs give them 60 ft attempts

[Mase of Base]

Boston missed so many open look 3s and easy lay ups early game 1 they can make a game of it I think. They looked decent second half but can't read into that much as the game was all but over. Boston crowd is nuts though they make some shots and get stops they can ride that.

Just don't know how they stop Cleveland from scoring 30 a qtr though.

Horford needs to make some shots cos Thomas can't get his layups in amongst that tall timber of the Cavs.

[Booya711]

Yep...just the like chasing the raptors and celtics game 1...

[jjgold]

I think game will be closer or a boston win

[Mackballs]

JJ don't be fooled. There's levels to this shit. Cle rolls again.

[eddycash]

if seaweed and twizzle are on the celtics, you are doomed

[Pinoy-T-X]

Do refs get paid per game or per series?

[shadymcgrady]

The ref crew track record doesn't rly favor either team at -5 just like game 1. Maybe silver just letting them pkay like he's done since the start

[Snowball]

Silver is cleaner than Stern was.
He knows there were issues, now it's legit.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Scott Foster - Tony Brothers & Ron Garretson working the game

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Do refs get paid per game or per series?

NBA officials get a base salary based on experience during the season.....when playoff assignments are earned, they are paid more per game per round they are in

REALLY? Let's not forget how draymond green was suspended for no reason when gsw was up 3-1 in the finals last yr in order to prolong the series and cash in on tv ad space.

Coincidentally suspend the only guy on gsw and 1 of maybe 3 players in the nba that can slow down lebron james as he did with regularity and success in the first 4 games.

Wait don't tell me, green got suspended for a closeout game 5 because he kicked Steven adams in the groin the series BEFORE against okc right? Yeah I can see how retroactive punishment fits the bill when appropriate, sure.

Yeah its common for key players to get suspended for catching an elbow from lebron james. The nerve of green, who does he think he is getting hit with a clear elbow in instant replay?

I never saw stern flat out suspend a guy to keep a series going despite his cronies and fingermen in joey Crawford and dick bavetta but yeah cleaner like he said. Sure. I've got a bridge for sale along with some volcano insurance and handsome cream

how was it for no reason? he was going around kicking people in the crotch

he was given a warning, he knew he should stop the dirty moves and he didnt, he got what he deserved

and he was only out for a game, they still beat them 3 times with green on the court, including game 7 in oakland so thats all excuses from warriors fans or people that just want to be able to blame the fix

[nyplayer33]

Think.NBA refs get 1100 per game playoffs
