NBA: Where six men on the court happens

Absolute rookie bullshit from the referees tonight, wow. The Blazers played great, I'm not taking anything away from them, they're a sick team and to be honest, my favorite team in the Western Conference. Without Brandon Roy tonight they stayed in the game and fought the whole way through. THAT BEING SAID:

How can you allow points to count when you have six men on the floor???? HOW?! Is this rec league? Last time I checked the NBA was a five on five league. When there are six men on the court and the team scores at that moment, and it is pointed out right then and there, and a technical foul is called on that team, HOW CAN THOSE TWO POINTS COUNT??!

I am beside myself after watching this game tonight. The Celts were not on top of their game and the refs were not on top of theirs. That equals the home team underdog stealing one from the Celtics.

It might not seem like a big deal, one point, whatever. But it is. This was a close game all the way through. If the referees knew the damn rules of the game, they would have known that they were supposed to replay the last 10 seconds of that quarter to make it fair. You shouldn't benefit from doing something illigally.

Sucks that we lost, but the Cavs lost to a much worse team in the Miami Heat, so they didn't gain ground on us anyways. The bottom line is the Celts need to snap out of whatever slump they're in now and remember how to win a damn game. I think a nice home game or two will put us back on track, time will only tell.

Also, I love Kevin Garnett, but the schenanigans on the court need to stop. That elbow to LaMarcus Aldridge was scummy, and luckily Aldridge hit him back or KG would have been hit with a technical and it would have been a huge deal. KG, keep the intensity, but cut the shit out there.
