Once again the Boston Celtics proved me wrong again tonight and beat the Lakers in LA 103-94 to tie the NBA Finals at 1 game a piece. Of course it was no thanks to Kevin Garnett who as he's been all season was a no show scoring a whopping SIX points. WoW!!! Can you just imagine Larry Bird or Kevin McHale scoring 6 whole points in a pivotal game in the NBA Finals? Or a preseason game for that matter?
But the funniest thing about tonight's game is Lakers coach and noted hippie Phil Jackson whining about the refs after the game. Utterly laughable. For the record the Lakers went to the free throw line 41 times and the Celtics only 26. Still not good enough for Laker fans who expect the game to be totally fixed from start to finish every single game.
Laker fans whining about officiating would be the equivalent to Greg Pussy Maddux and Tom Pussy Glavine complaining about the strike zone while pitching for the Atlanta Braves in the mid to late 90s. It would be like SF 49ers fans saying the refs were out to get them all throughout the 80s. It would be like Muhammad Ali complaining that he got jammed on the judges scorecards. It would be like Chicago Bulls fans saying the refs were always out to screw Michael Jordan. Win or lose, Lakers fans, players or coaches should never, ever, EVER complain about the officiating.
