I Literally Couldn’t Sleep Last Night

You know what’s pathetic? I couldn’t sleep last night. I’m 35 years old. I’m a grown ass man. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t get over that debacle that happened last night. Watching the Celts get screwed out of yet another victory. Once again you turn on every major sports channel this morning and everybody is saying what I said last night. The refs handed Miami Game 2. Some will say it was on purpose. Some will say it was just human error. Whatever the case may be nobody is denying the missed call on Rondo was the deciding factor in that game. And for that reason and that reason alone I couldn’t sleep last night. It felt like somebody had walked into my home and violated me. Now I’m behind on the blog, tired and pissed off. It ain’t right and it ain’t fair. The only good news is that I think the refs will pretty much hand us Game 3 after what they’ve done in Games 1 and 2. Try to restore some credibility to this farce of a series. Shame on the NBA.

The Rondo foul was bad....but the Celtics had the game well in hand with a few minutes to spare...they had some terrible turnovers in the closing minutes....definitely werent helped by the refs, but they had the game well in hand and made some careless errors.....sorry your bummed, but there is still alot of basketball to be played and you never know how a veteran team may respond....i am rooting for u prez

Pres, You shouldnt have been able to sleep after watching your C's blow a huge opportunity to have a chance in the series. Instead you watched the final nail being driven in to the end of the under achieving era. I know its tough watching Bron Bron do this but the Celtics should have won that game. Heat played bad, missed free throws, and Rondo had an epic performance while C's played well. Its over and you have to come to grips with it. Years of mediocrity to follow.... "Its real, you should say something".

I dont give a fuck what anyone says about being up 15 its fucking basketball being up 15 in the 2nd quarter means nothing....Basketball is about runs and momentum and the NO call on RONDO killed any momentum the celtics would have had...How do you miss someone getting his head taken off but you call PIERCE for fucking hand checks on LEBRON when his back is to the basket and making no attempt at a shot? Oh ya and they were in the penalty...What a joke...Im a celtics fan and call me a cry baby or whatever the fuck the rest of you want but I watch basketball all year watched the whole game and played the game the favoritism to home teams is unreal....49 free throws and 24 to lebron? you can pretty much blow on him to hard and get a foul call...NBA refs by far are the worst in any sport....Pierce gets fouled at but bron and wade get 2 tthe whole game in a OT game...Ya and lets add that the hornets get the number one pick who were previously owned by the NBA...sure stern through that in the sale of the team "buy this team and you will get the number one pick" NBA is a joke celts take the next to suck a dick to all you haters...Keep rooting for loser teams and hate on us because we compete and win more than anyone of late...

As someone who doesn't care about either team, with no gun in this bullet race... just looking at the video you posted of this horrible, horrible foul... just suck it up. Rondo had the shot off, his face was, at worst... tapped. You are acting like Wade tore his face off, and that's just crap. It was a much better no call, than it was some egregious conspiracy.

jambrose111... All of Boston sports is a fraud. Celtics - Big Three put together in suspect trade from McHale then under achieved with one championship Patriots - havent won since spygate Red Sox - World Series both a result of a majority of the team on good mix of roids and HGH. So did you mean compete to win or cheat to win??? Seems to be a theme for the entire city. Its over. Bron Bron owns you. Deal with it... "Its real, you should say something".

Both did what literally every other team in the league was doing. Funny you don't mention the Bruins, but whatever, why let the facts get in the way of making your point.

screw the 15 point lead. what showed poise was giving up that lead, going down six.... then coming back to take the lead again. I don't think the series is over yet, but they have some work to do. i'm 35 years old myself and couldn't sleep either. the thought of 6'8'' lebron missing the final shot of regulation over 6'1'' rondo... followed by his 2 missed foul shots to start o.t., leaves me wondering what the headlines/media/blogs would have been writing about Lebron, had the Celts won.... ugh...

Can you even grasp how big it would be for his league to be able to market King James as an actual King for once? if you think Stern wouldnt trade 2 or 3 playoff games revenue for making sure Lebron gets his ring than you are as big a shithead as you come off in your other posts

The officiating was terrible, but what it came down to in the end was Miami being aggressive on the boards, and the Celtics letting them slide in and steal second chance points. Better officiating may have put the game out of reach earlier, but the Celtics still should have won, and blew crucial plays down the stretch.

No Celtics fans were crying when Garnett clearly touched the ball TWICE before it went out of bounds, on a rebound, and the refs gave it back to Boston. They missed that call, but it went it your favor, so its ok.I like how people are shocked and upset when refs make a bad call/miss a call, when it has literally happened in every single sporting event ever. To blame the refs on a loss is the most childish, non-informed move you can make.

I know your frustrated but the next ten years in your dark and gloomy city will suck. Prepare yourself to watch the Heat and Bulls dominate you for the next 5 to 10 years.

@freddie mitchel - yore a fucking idiot bro - in the philly/boston series it went like this FOULS: Philly - 130, Boston - 150. FTs: Philly: 163, Boston - 150. So Philly had 20 fewer fouls called on them and took 13 more FTs than Boston. I know thats not completely indicative of the refereeing but saying its "the same exact situation" as this current series is so stupid the government should literally sterilize your retarded ass to thin the herd of morons

When the spurs beat the heat in the finals will you jump on their bandwagon too? Are you that ignorant? I'm betting you are a White Sox fan now because they might make the playoffs. That's a super Philosophy, just keep rooting for whoever it looks like is going to win the next series. That way you can't lose. You make Chicago fans look worse than Steve Bartman did. The last thing a real Chicago fan would do is root for the Heat

Gotta understand Wade had two points in the first half and you were only up 7 fucking points. The Heat almost gift wrapped this game for you but you couldnt close it out. Letting rondo take wide open jumpers all game was excruciating to watch. LeBron missed a layup at the end and he got his own rebound. Get that rebound and I guarantee you win. There is no way a missed slap to the face should make or break this game. Again Wade missed a very clutch free throw which made it a 3 pt game and ray ray did what he does best to tie it with 34 seconds left. Stop leaving a 3 pt shooter wide open in the corner while he smiles at you and sinks the 3. Celtics blew this game plain and simple but no fan will ever admit that. But if Stern is behind all of this, you better hope he gives you a game at home because all he wants is for this series to go an extra game or two for ratings.

Its killing us. Not sure about anyone else but i think PP walking off the court was a total kick in the dick. Other than that we just plum got smoked. The boys played hard tho, gotta give it up.

This is so fucking annoying. The one call on rondo did not cost us the game, getting fucked in the 3rd quarter did. They refs blew it the first game, but even if the officiating was fine in game 1, the C's probably still would have lost. This game the non call on rondo was horrible, but that's not why we fucking lost, shut the fuck up. Why don't you call out Keyon Dooling and KG for pussy-fouling wade giving him and 1's because they didn't foul him hard enough? Pres I understand the Lebron hate, but when you blame everything on the refs its like you're just playing right into the idea of Boston fans being delusional, which personally I don't want being applied to me just because of something rash someone who thought the Celtics beat the Lakers in '86 says on a blog.

Could have set my watch by this blog. Pres you sound like such a pink hat, whining about calls. You know what lost the game for them? Inability to hold a lead down the stretch, turnovers and missed shots at key times, lack of presence on the glass and oh yeah... Rondo who played the game of his life except for the one play here he got tapped in the face a little and laid on the ground writhing like a soccer player instead of bouncing up and sprinting back down the court to play D. The loss was disgraceful to me as a Celts fan, but not because of a couple of questionable/blown calls. You wanna know what's really the pussification of America? That people think its ok to blame a loss on the refs rather than place accountability where it truly belongs and move on
