Logic, this is a home game officiated game. When you look at the run the Cavs were 18-5 in times at the line. This can play big in a hard fought game. Now, when the game returns to Boston watch the calls go the other way. The 7th game however is a toss up and will be a hard fought battle for sure. LeBron needs to trust his teammates more. Especially Delante West. The reason the Celtics got back was due to bad shots late in the shot clock. This is never good when one person handles the ball for 20 of the 24 seconds. You'll win game but not championships playing that way. Finally, Doc Rivers finally crushed Rhondo tonight but House is proving to be a better offensive threat so neutral results.

Nice pick up on Rondo. He simply stopped going to the paint. Why? Previous game he blew by every Cav. The kid is such a rookie still.
Big B, now come on, you come on a Celtics post and make the same claims over and over about home court then you say you want to hear our opinions, then you say you don't want any Celtics opinions. Think about that post. Me thinks you are being too obvious in your smack. You can do better, I believe you can improve

Is it just me or does it seem like Rondo is the key to the series for both teams? If Rondo plays bad the Cavs win, if he plays well the Celtics win.

Sometimes I swear these refs have money on these games or they just love Lebron so much, on that charging call LEBRON WAS MOVING AND HE ACTUALLY REACHED IN AS WELL, it was such a huge call in the game, the Celtics had all the momentum and pierce would have shot two and cut the lead to 1 with over a minute to go. and then another play I loved was when the the ball went out of bounds off of the celtics but the refs didn't see the play, so usually if the refs don't see the play then they will just give it to the team with the ball who were the celtics, but thats until Lebron came running over crying and so they changed the call. I just cannot wait for game 7 when the Celtics dismantle the Cavs in Boston. If Lebron gets those calls in Boston the refs won't make it out of Boston in one piece. And in closing, WALLY PLEASE FIX THOSE F**CKING EARS!!!!!

That wasnt the reason why the Cavs won how about Boston D try preventing the Cavs from going on a 17-0 run then they might win.FYI it was 72-67 at that point so it would have only cut the lead to 3.

There was a key goal -tending mis-call and a questionable charge that LeBron took late in the game. There is no doubt had the refs caught the fact that the ball hit the back board or if the foul would have been called on LeBron , things could have been different, but it is also understandable how each of those calls may have been made, or missed from the refs perspective. LeBron was moving but he stopped cold at the instant before contact, if the ref had a particular angle that he say LeBron in position for the split second before contact, he is calling the charge and the ball was only noticed grazing the back-board when the replays were looking at the block and the foul hat was called. Nothing was conspiratorial as far as I could see. Those kind of calls are a part of the game.
Now, there is the game 7 that Boston had a chance to avoid. The Cavs are going to come in fired up with another chance and Boston will be at home upset with the last game. I thought we may see The Celtics take it up a notch for game 6 but LeBron took it upon himself. He can put a game on his back which he did last night. Wild game 7 coming up.

LOL...
cms...
your logic seems right, yet its entirely wrong.... in game five, which the Celtics won.... the cavs and bron bron still got tons more calls, they had 41 FTs to the celtics 23 and only had 18 fouls to the celtics 28...
bottom line is.... a LeBron James team gets the calls, i might sound like a cry baby, but the stats dont lie..... the nba and the media wana do him up the butt or something, its really disgusting to watch so many AWFUL calls go his way.... all of the above also goes to Kobe Bryant... its sickening.

This is coming from a Rockets fan who could care less who wins this game. That charging call at the end on Pierce was Terrible. I mean how can someone running and reaching I might add have position. If anything it should have been a block and maybe a technical on Pierce for flopping but come on that was no charge. I thought that Call was huge because it blew the C's chance to cut it to 1. The block foul was big but I can't blame the refs on that it was hard to see until they showed the replay.

couple of thoughts on this game.
1. The refs didn't win it for the cavs although the call on pierce was crap. Even so, it didn't make the game. Celtics have to play through that.
2. No fire. You could see it on the celtics faces that they almost knew they wouldn't win it. They didn't seemed pumped up to me. no KG gettin' in guys faces or anything like they do at home.
3. rondo may be the key for boston and i think for the cavs it's wally and west. they played great tonight and that was the difference in my opinion. lebron was lebron.
I really would be worried as a celtics fan. lebron is the last guy you want to face in a game 7!

I just had the mis-fortune of listening to the LeBron James post game press conference and am rather alarmed at the way in which he handled himself...
I wish I could say that he is the only athlete that looks at sports the way that he does, but that would be wrong... he just happens to be the athlete of the day in regards to this rant...
Here comes game 7, so the cliches start to fly... this is going to be a real battle, it is a do or die situation, we need to be ready to fight to the death... and my personal favorite "I will have my troops ready"... first of all they are not your troops as you call them, they are your teammates, and this is a GAME... it is basketball... there is no win or die... there is not battle... god willing nobody will die during this game....
With all the money that the athletes of today have, wouldn't it benice to see some of them spend it on an English class, so the can be eloquent enough to conduct an interview withiout referring to themselves as generals or conquerors, troops or Warriors...
I apologize that this is directed at one player today, but he needs to realize that no matter who wins, the sun will come up tomorrow... that can not be said for those who truly are in a battle and are part of a troop... Take a moment to remember them as you watch the "battle" between the Celtics and Cavaliers this weekend and hope that all of them make it through their battles...
