The refs screwed us

[DJessen33@aol.com]

All I can say is that we got screwed by the refs. I mean, it is tough enough 
beating the other team, but when you got to beat the other team, and the 
refs, even on a home game, it is pretty difficult to win. Three main calls 
come to mind that are no-brainer calls on a usual homegame, at least for 
teams other than the Celtics. The alley-opp to Mercer that was missed and he 
hung on the rim, the Pierce missed jam and the Anderson layup that was called 
a charge that would have given us a possible 5-point lead with a minute left. 
All of these situations are plays we had guys are going hard to the rim and 
get whacked on the arms and there is no call or the wrong call. What is the 
problem, here? Do the players have to do have five or six years in the league 
for the refs to call them a fair game? Does Pitino have to have 5-6 years in 
the league for the refs to respect him? Have the Celts won too many 
championships that the refs feel the Celts have to make up for alot of those 
calls they gave Bird? COME ON, REFS. This was a home game. You don't have to 
give us the home court bias you give other teams. But at least give us a 
equal game...
