Congrats NBA, you've lost yet another fan(warning long rant ahead)

[QUOTE=zORi]This.

One bad game with a couple bad calls (both ways). If you stop watching the NBA over this game, then you weren't a real fan to begin with.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. Frankly I don't think the NBA is going to miss him as a fan, seeing as he's the worst ****in' kind of NBA fan.

i agree with most of the OP. i'm annoyed the c's lost too. but you could see the celtics trying to sell fouls as much as the lakers. i will admit when pierce sold a foul i didn't mind and when gasol did they same it annoyed the hell out of me. but since the lakers won i guess their fans will forget them all. i'd be the same (and i bet the op would too) if it went the other way :)

but my real gripe is that it was THE most boring game of basketball i have watched all year. what was the point? why didn't they just play freethrow horse and call it a day? not long after allen sat down because of his 5th i stopped watching.

i agree with the op that as a 90s kid when i'd play ball a foul was only called when it was a deliberate forceful strike or push. obviously pro sports need to be more strict then that. but not to the point where the players should be running around in bubble wrap or driving in bumper cars.

i will keep watching the series but hopefully the refs don't slow the game down to a crawl next time.

how are you going to complain when your team actually shot more free throws, got our bigs in foul trouble, on our home court. SMH. Celtics fans are the most spoiled fans in the league they are not happy unless they have a double digit lead in FT advantage.

i'm not happy about the calls that went the celtics way as much as the the calls that went the lakers way. i'm not complaining about the distribution of the freethrows i'm complaining about the fact that to many were called through out the game. i'd rather a nice flowing game as opposed to a game that stop and starts as much as an NFL game.

this .

Jeez dude, relax.

Officiating was terrible and called too tightly but for the entire game it was both ways. I'm sure any true Celtics fan would tell you they didn't lose because of Allen's fouls. they just got outreobunded and outhustled.

OP is a known Kobe and Lakers hater. It must burn to see them doing well so she had to come out with some bogus like this to keep her peace of mind.

tl;dr

Nobody is going to read that wall of text. Save it for your book.

Anyhow, Lakers in 6 :D

Can we get back on topic? Burgers I mean.

[QUOTE=Tha Catalyst]You Americans have no idea how privileged you are with food. I'm an avid burger lover and in Australia there is literally nowhere to get an American style burger. The month I was in America was the best of my life not only because I like the American lifestyle but the food was amazing. I know this is completely off topic but I just want you all to appreciate how good you have it food-wise haha.[/QUOTE]

I'm from Europe, and food wise my stay in America was a nightmare. I guess it's just that food sucks in Australia :hammerhead:

The OP is one fan no one is going to miss.

Yea, absolutely no where :wtf:
Mcdonalds has what, about 1000 stores Australia wide if not more.

I lived in the states for 3 years in the early 00's.
USA McDonalds bugers EXACTLY the same as in Australia. Only difference is the US McDonalds sell hotdogs and pizza.

Burger King burgers EXACTLY the same as Hungry Jacks burgers.

There's little to no difference between those 2 establishments and Wendy's/other chain burger take outs in the states so how you came to that conclusion is rather strange.

Btw, McDonalds will make to order, order my creation, The McOcto. 8 patties, 8 pieces of cheese. Eat those and you'll be just like a big fat tub of lard American in no time :lol

I haven't had Wendy's in forever. Craving it.



Oh, did not read........

LOL @ the OP thinking Stern is panicking now.
