NBA referees are the worst officials in sports… even worse than MLB umpires and their magically shifting strike zones.
When you watch this video… please explain to me what the hell Sam Cassell did to get a technical. The “double tech” rule in the NBA is horsecrap.

The Many Worsts of the Weekend

Washington Wizards: They talked trash. They said they wanted Cleveland in the first round, that the Cavaliers couldn't defeat them three years in a row. They called LeBron overrated. They thugged the King at every available opportunity. End the end, they weren't just eliminated, they dropped the final game at home in a 105-88 blowout. The Wiz shot poorly (39 percent), had lousy ball movement (11 assists, 9 turnovers), and their defense was a joke: They let the Cavs shoot 50 percent, they forced only 6 turnovers, and Wally Szczerbiak hit 6 threes and scored a career playoff-high 26 points. Talk about going ...

What We Can Learn From The Celtics-Hawks Series —
Cleveland Cavaliers
Let’s say I came up to you before the playoffs started and asked you which series you thought was going seven games.
Atlanta-Boston would have been the answer to the question, “Which series is most likely to end up in a sweep?” Instead, it’s the only one that’s going the distance. Not Spurs-Suns. Not Hornets-Mavs. Not Cavs-Witnesses. Not Jazz-Rockets.
And it ...

This isn’t the regular season, this isn’t Rome and this isn’t a mid-afternoon shootaround. This is the National Basketball Association playoffs, a time for dedication, relentless vigor and overall outstanding play.
As I sit here in my dimly lit office on a dark and damp Friday night, I can’t help but think that the Boston Celtics must grow up. They have to do it quick and at the same time ...

The ‘94 Nuggets. The ‘07 Warriors. The ‘08 Hawks? A monumental playoff upset can do a lot to legitimize a franchise and its star player, which is why Joe Johnson (or Josh Smith) is one game away from putting himself on the mainstream map, just like Baron Davis did last year [...]
What Was Mike Woodson Thinking? —

Joe Johnson
It’s not like Joe Johnson was guarding Kevin Garnett. After Joe Jeezy picked up his second foul steamrolling through Leon Powe less than eight minutes into the game, Mike Woodson put a seatbelt on him on the bench. Johnson warmed pine for more than nine minutes, and by the time that he came back [...]
Celtics Get Back on Track, Lead Series 3-2 —
Sports of Boston
The Celtics came back to Boston and did exactly what they needed to do while they were at home: get a win. After the two losses in Atlanta, the Celtics desperately needed to come back home and get back on track. They did just that by controlling the Hawks and beating them 110-85. Game 6 in Atlanta on Friday will give the Celtics a chance to move onto round two and face the winner of the ...
Hawks Continue to Surprise, Upset Celtics in Game 4 —
Sports of Boston
No one expected this series to go to a fifth game, and certainly no one expected it to go a sixth game. But after tonight’s loss, the series is going to return to Boston on Wednesday night for game five and then back to Atlanta for game six on Friday. The heat was on early in this game after all the trash talking and other disputes between the two teams in the past few games. Four ...
