So Kendrick "Ice Grill" Perkins seems to think that the referees aren't giving the champions any calls. He recently said that he doesn't think the refs like the C's. It's pretty obviously Perkins doesn't catch too many other games on his down time. He seems oblivious to the national sentiment that the Celtics get and have gotten too many calls since they have been playing with the Big Three. Kendrick doesn't seem to realize how he comes across through the HDTV. He's probably the biggest whiner and complainer I see in the league today. He's always has on his scowl, I can't imagine what his baby pictures look like and every time a foul is called on him, like T- Pain... He Can't Believe It. I'm not sure when it happened but somewhere in between the C's acquiring KG and Allen and winning the championship they have become a team of whiners and complainers. From Doc Rivers to Paul Pierce the refs are doing them wrong, I suppose this is the reason for all the technicals fouls they receive in their eyes. Even reports in the city papers are crying foul. It's if they are all taking the que from their Color Commentator Hall of Famer, Tommy Heinsohn who is such a homer that I have to get popcorn everytime I hear him calling the game because it's so ridiculous you'd think that he was a dad at a softball game. While I do think the refs can sometimes get caught up in the environment and can be inconsistent, this isn't new ground here the Celtics should be the last team complaining. They have gotten their share of calls and ref-love for the past year. There are plenty other teams that have more of a reason to really complain. Maybe Perkins should catch a Rockets game and see how they ref Yao. The Real Story is devolopment of Derrick Rose and Ben Gordons contract. As I said when predicting the series the Bulls are the deeper team. Without KG they really have the better front line. Paul Pierce is who we thought he was... Paul Pierce. Not that guy that people wanted to think was all of a sudden better than Kobe after last year and had ascended into basketball GOD status. Ben Gordon remembered he turned down a lot of change and that he's playing for a contract which has inspired him to look like Ben "Jordan" at times. With Rose going so hard and the wealth of talent the Bulls can throw at you in Salmons, Noah, Thomas, Hinrich and Tim Thomas all role-players that can get you 20, a couple of them can get you 30 you're going to have problems. Give the kids credit they are fighting tooth and nail.
