those bastards

It's games like this that make me want to give up on this whole NBA charade.
It's more rigged than a slot machine in Las Vegas. These despicable
creatures masquerading as NBA officials determined that Philly must go to
7-0, and they did everything in their power to ensure that.

I've said in years past that I marvel at the self-control of our players in
these situations - even Antoine. If I were Antoine, I would've slugged those
slime so hard, Kenny's injury would look like a gentle tap on the cheek by
comparison. Yet watch him get fined and/or suspended for his behavior
towards those *ssholes  after the game. What about *their* behavior this
entire game?!!

Still, even those lowlifes may not have been able to do anything, had Pitino
not unleashed the mighty McCarty as the designated ball-handler against the
pressure. Sure enough, three consecutive turnovers later, the momentum had
swung to Philly, and the refs took care of the rest. But Rick just had to
let his favorite pet out for a run, didn't he.... Some boneheaded plays by
Williams and Herren also didn't help matters. And why wasn't Stith  - one of
our smartest players - in the game during those critical periods?  Where was
Griffin?

Lastly, free throws - 'nuff said. Still, despite our 2-4 record and the
four-game losing streak, this is a good team, who, if they don't have their
spirit broken by bad breaks and rotten-to-the-core refs, will win quite a
few more games than last year's group. Cranks spouting nonsense about the
Celtics having 2 NBA players on their roster and similar drivel, will now be
out in force, but so what. The Celtics shut them up soon.
