Yeah, I mean, it's not like Pierce has ever hit a big shot in his career...

Down 3 with the game on the line you want Paul Pierce Ray Allen taking the shot.

lol @ the celtics homers in this thread.

Blatant moving screen. Should have been called and it was.

be consistent in making the call then. The NBA refs are terrible and let a ton go by without a call. Just makes no sense to make that call then that's all.

A healthy Ray? Definitely. But he's struggled getting open since he came back, and Pierce has proven himself pretty capable of hitting shots with the game on the line.

There's really no way you can complain about a wide-open Pierce jumper.
 
Makes no sense to make the call then? That should always be called it was blatant, KG almost knocked Iguodola over and it would have directly led to a wide open 3 for Pierce.

Its Ray Allen, he hits 3's that is what he does.
 
OK, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that, like 95% of this board, you don't watch the NBA.

If you want to reply to me again take off your Chris Webber on the Bullets jersey and eat .

KG got away with it last year not this year though

This is exactly what I kept thinking about when the owner of the Hawks called KG a dirty player. This guy gets away with alot of crap and I am thrilled that he's finally being paid attention to. And I heard KG was called for an illegal screen earlier in the game and didn't smarten up.

Yeah, um, I'm gonna go ahead and say I want Pierce taking big shots over Ray right now.

They've both been clutch throughout their careers. And when KG and RayRay joined the C's there was no doubt who was gonna be the go-to guy (Pierce). It's silly to look at one game. They've both missed plenty of big shots in their lengthy careers as well.

Your argument is baseless. I'd rather listen to Stephen A. Smith talk about Tim Tebow than your pathetic attempt at a good point. Although I don't have the stats to back up my point that Ray Allen is a better shooter or has hit more big shots than Paul Pierce I think its fair to assume those stats are accurate and just because you don't have a job and watch Sportscenter three times a day and order retro jerseys and still wear sneakers and fitted hats doesn't make you know a goshdarn thing. You probably drink soda out of a can. Grow up.

This is really a trainwreck of a post.

And I'm not even talking about taking sides in this argument.

Like you, I'm not taking sides either, and I'm a diehard Ray Allen fan. Like I stated, I've seen both Allen and Pierce hit the big shot, I've also seen them miss. Because I love Ray so much, I'd rather see him take the last shot, but I understand if it's Pierce. Today someone can say "I'd rather have Pierce taking big shots over Ray right now." The next game it could be the opposite. They can't hit them all.
 
I was referring more to the "I don't have stats to back up what I'm saying," something about SportsCenter and throwback jerseys, and the soda out of a can thing. Little sense was made.

It's not about how many big shots Ray or Pierce have hit throughout their careers. In fact, Ray has been one of the most insanely clutch shooters I've ever seen, maybe even more than Pierce.

But he's really ineffective right now because of his injured ankles, which makes Pierce the much better option right now.

He looked good the other night. Pierce has looked bad recently with injuries as well.

On the Celtics final possession they had a chance to tie but the refs called a moving screen on KG. Some of my Celtics friends were irate at the call. I tried to tell them it was definitely the right call, KG was moving and clearly impeded the defenders progress and almost knocked him over freeing up Pierce to get the ball. I normally think the refs are awful but I applaud them for making the right call at the end against the home team.
Expand ...

Is it a moving screen? Heck yeah..................was it the right call NO..........every big guy in the NBA holds his screens and keeps moving EVERYone. They exist throughout games and by every team. It was an awful call by a ref who wanted to be a hero...period!
 
How in the world was that a foul on Garnett? I've never seen anything like that. An offensive player gets the ball after his man comes off to double, he goes in for a layup, avoids the defender under the basket while that defender smacks both arms down on Garnett's arms, and Garnett is called for a foul?

That's a call that not even a college ref would make. It was a clear foul on the defender.
 
complaining about one call in THIS game is insane :rolleyes:. The free throw advantage, the foul differential, and the amount of touch fouls called on the sixers end tonight crippled any chance of this game being competitive. That and the whole sixers 80 turnovers in the second half eventually wore philly down.

i'm assuming you are referring to the charging call when Garnett went up for a poster dunk over Hawes which was probably the only questionable call to go the sixers way all night.

Obviously either a Sixer fan or a C's hater because there was nothing tolerable about the refereeing either way. No obvious lean from the refs at all they are just horrible all the time but very consistent. The 76ers are a lean, grab and push team and the C's are so old they do much the same. Ugly either way but the fact is the Sixers can't shoot straight on occasion period!!

sixer fan...you caught me :cool:. Maybe it is the bias, but I am not the only one that though that the refs favored the celts last night..

Game 5 FT advantage: Celtics +17
Game 4 FT advantage: Philly +17

What's the constant? The home team tends to get more calls in the NBA.

It's not rocket science.

There's just no question. You want Pierce having the ball in his hands. Now...if Ray comes off a screen and is open, Pierce can find him. But Ray is a catch & shoot player. Paul Pierce is the total package: he can raise up and get a shot off, he can effectively pump fake to get contact, he can put the ball on the floor and take it to the rack, he can draw a second defender and kick it out to an open man.

If you've watched the Celtics and these players' careers it's not really a question.
 
I hope the Sixers can shut Garnet up. For a man in his 30's he can behave so childish.

I was referring to the call as being one of the worst i've ever seen. Also look at the time of my post, Celts were behind.

Questionable?

Let's just say that you and I are seeing two totally diffferent things.
