1. Not being around to watch the Russell, Cowens, and Bird teams. Even with hardwood classics, I envy you guys so much!
2. Danny trading Pierce and KG. I will never forgive him for that. Ever.
3. Game 7 2010. I knew that that was our last chance. Thank you so much Danny and Joey Crawford. 20+ free throw attempts in one quarter and the Lakers never even drove to the basket (not that I expected anything less, of course).
3. The 2007 lottery. Even Silva was stunned. That was ridiculous.
4. KG's injury and not resigning Posey. I didn't think we could have won it again without him. HUGE LOSS.
5. Rondo getting hurt.
6. Watching Doc's stupid half court let's call it offense. Idk about you guys, but I'm all pick and rolled out. Do they not know that there are other, and much better, plays? I just can't take it anymore.
7. Watching the 18 game losing streak and wondering where oh where are we going.
8. Watching the draft every year and knowing that Danny is going to screw up. Again.
9. Hearing chants of MVP for Kobe in Boston in I believe 2007. There were people who did the same thing a few games back for Durant maybe? It makes me sick. Those idiots should be barred from Celtics home games. For life haha.
Speaking of That Magic Johnson Hook Shot in 1987...
If the league had replay back then---Johnson would have never taken that shot...Just before, Kareem missed the 2nd of 2 free throws---while trying for the rebound (and going STRAIGHT UP),the ball is called off McHale--and given back to the Lakers---Replay showed that Mychal Thompson went over McHale's back--to swat it out of bounds...typical NBA refs....Should have been an OT game at worst.
After watching that rebounding play many times, what ticks me off the most isn't even the lack of a foul, which there probably was; it's that you can clearly see on the replay that it was Thompson's hand who knocked it out of bounce. If his hand isn't in there, the ball probably gets knocked up or around a little bit because of the angle's of Chief's and Mchale's hands, which were the opposites of each other.
Also, no one ever mentions the 32-16 LA edge in free throws either, most of which were complete jokes. +16 at the line and they win by 1 point? Come on. Bird missed that shot by a millimeter, too. Incredible. Even when he missed (which was not often), it was by a hair (even on half court shots! I saw that one against the Hawks in 87 in Atlanta. Woah.). He did turn it over once down the stretch, but certainly made up for it with that three lol. Tommy made the point that they should have gotten it inside to Mchale, which they normally did, so I don't know why they didn't on that day. Where was the call on Worthy grabbing Larry on the jersey? Amazing officiating as usual. Would we have won the series if we'd taken Game 4? No, imho. Even if we'd swept at home we would have needed to win it all in LA. Yeah, like that would have ever happened. Between our injuries, lack of depth, incompetent coaching, and horrible officiating, there's no way. At least I don't think so.
