Is there a Whinier Fan Base in Sports than Boston?
Wow that ref that shot 5-18 and had a -16 +/- last night sure looked a lot like Paul Pierce. Holy shit, I have never seen a bigger collection of cry babies than Boston fans (specifically Celtic fans over the last several weeks). It’s amazing how every Celtic win has been a fairly officiated game, while every loss has been part of a conspiracy led by David Stern to have the Heat win it all. Grow the fuck up. Some nights you just don’t have it. That’s sports. You know who else lost last night? The Yankees. Was it because the umps willed Trumbo’s home run fair? No, it was because Trumbo’s home run was fair. It was also because Hughes is an average pitcher and Mike Scioscia’s Angels just have the Yankees’ number, especially at home. All of this unwarranted paranoia that the league has it out for Boston is so outrageously self-centered and ridiculous. Embrace your team’s occasional futility; it makes the success that much more enjoyable.
Editors Note: I’m KFC and I approve this message. I was gonna write basically the same thing but Pizza Boy already summed it up perfectly.
You’d think after winning 17 titles the fan base would have their collective heads out of their asses. Heat won. Simple. Move on.
how bout them Rangers
you know nothing about basketball. you are a pizza boy. Did you watch the game? Miami gets EVERY call. What makes me nuts, is that Lebron can bark at the refs and throw hissy fits, but as soon as a celtic even looks at the ref wrong, they get T’d up. its really not fair.
If Bron Bron or wade drive to the basket and get gently touched, its a foul. If any of the celtics drive to the basket, they need to be HAMMERED for the refs to call a foul. I HATE TO BLAME THE REFS FOR ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS LOP-SIDED LAST NIGHT.
the officiating last night was absolutely atrocious, there’s no debating that. the techs on doc and ray allen were horseshit, no question. i didn’t care much for the kg one either, but it’s at least arguable. i can live with rondo’s T.
but the celts lost fair and square as far as execution goes. i don’t like the conservative play that the fouls force, but other than that, the heat just hit more shots. d-wade was a monster in the 2nd half. meanwhile, ray allen was uncharacteristically cold, even at the line. the reasons go on and on, but basically, the celts just got outplayed.
that said, i do think the NBA is crooked as fuck. i’d say this as a neutral fan. it’s not like the refs just called a real tight game on both sides. and it was TECHS. normal fouls get called, don’t get called, whatever…it’s an imperfect science and is an expected fluctuation. but to T up doc for “c’mon, eddie!”, and ray for exhibiting frustration but not directly addressing the ref, that’s just indefensible.
sorry to say though, heat in 5. thanks for the memories, big 3.
Its true the celtics played like shit last night and the refs had nothing to do with that. I mean going 5-18, 1-7, and 8-20 pretty much guaranteed their loss. but you have to admit those technical fouls were all bullshit.
Hahahaha nice strasser, I usually hate your blogs but this was on point.. I’m from Boston so I have to read this shit first hand thanks to Facebook and twitter.. And to be fair I think it’s more Celtic fans than every Boston sport…
awful comparison to baseball you little fag boy…its nothing new that nba refs have decided games in the past. that didnt happen last night but if the refs are gonna make calls similar to that for the whole playoffs, why even bother watching.
Technical fouls so far in Heat games this playoffs – 6 on the Heat, 23 on Heat opponents.
are you a fucking moron?? strasser who the fuck are you? that was terrible officiating throughout and everyone knows it. you were just looking for a poor excuse to blog about why you hate Boston so much and how we will always be better than you. envy us you bitch envy us. Its not our fault were so fucking good that the NBA has to cheat to give the heat an edge in the series.
umm faggot even the national media was calling it bullshit. and that little faggot kfc with his editors note, fucking dickhead doesnt even watch sports, so his opinion is moot
WTF DRO, Celtics in 6 baby, i still believe, now that everyone on ESPN is saying how the refs cheated, should be even for game 2
The Heat actually had 2 more personal fouls called against them….
Newsflash, the Celtics aren’t that good. They beat an iffy Hawks team and a Sixers team that has no go-to scorer, post presence or free throw shooting. And needed 7 games to do it. Yes, the refs were awful in the first half last night. But even after that the game was tied. The Heat then proceeded to dominate the remainder of the game, and the refs had little impact on half #2. Just stop whining about everything cause no one cares. You lost.
Why as someone from neither Boston or Miami would you write about the Celtics losing, rather than the Heat winning? It stems from jealousy and envy. This post is about as close to a definition of “internet trolling” as there is.
whattup, bd, how ya livin? sorry, man, i always believe in boston, but i also gotta call it how i see it. celts have a shot if they can steal game two and not fuck up at home. you’re definitely right about game two though, the celts should get some make-up calls after all the scrutiny.
is that real?
Haha, good blog!
It is pretty entertaing to see them lose their collective shit after any loss though
^ Newsflash everyone bitches about the Refs in basketball. If those calls in the first half were against a NY team they would’ve started a class action suit. They were terrible calls but the Celtics were flat in the second half and that’s why they lost. I don’t think anyone here really can argue that the refs were the reason they lost. Most of the outcry was during the first half.
damn you wetz and you’re f-ed up timestamp
a healthy celtics team makes a run for the title…thats for sure…im a celtics fan and ya the refs did suck the 1st half but its not why they lost…they clearly were tired and got out played i expected that…game 2 will be the series for them…if they lose its over probably in 5 if they win they can make it interesting…well see….even though the sixers took them 7 it is because they match up well with them….some teams just do…
Boston fans have seen all of their spors teams win in the last ten years, theyre spoiled thats all it is. Quit whining and cheer on your team. The NBA is shady, see Game 7 kings vs lakers like ten years back, but the heat are simply a better team than the celtics this year
First of all, way to connect it with two totally different sports and commissioners, derp. In particular it’s David Stern, retard. Listen to the Tim Donaghy WEEI interview, idiot. Finally, you suck at blogging, faggot.
Strasser you fucking suck. Wait till you’re getting fucked by the umps in September and then compare it to the playoffs, faggot.
Actual KFC blog – “Syracuse and the refs they paid off survive 16 UNC Ashville”

Is “hyppocrite” spelled with one “p” or two?
Dro giving you shit, nice to see you posting, the dro man comments have been far and between now, but good to see you posting bro
Another KFC blog claiming the refs decided a game. He may be a hyppocrite but at least he’s a consistent hyppocrite.

Strasser, @borgesucks is literally fucking you in your ass with your own blogs.
Boston might have a spoiled fanbase, that’s a fair point, as they have achieved a lot of success in recent years in every sport. But literally anyone who watched that game last night with a functioning brain could realize that those technical fouls were an embarrassment to the NBA, the refs, the fans, the league, really.
a worst fanbase? yes, New York. You have twice the teams, yet feel entitled. Btw, how many Rangers fans are magically Devil’s fans now?
Here is the template that el pres handed out to all of his bloggers:
Home team wins: great game all around, team going all the way.
Home team loses: crappy officiating, unfair game
Rival team loses: bahahaha stupid rival fans, always whining about the officiating
Rival team wins: silence
youre a fuckin idiot. nuff said
haha, thanks, BD. the posts are fewer and far between now mostly because i can’t post on boston anymore, although they said they didn’t ban me and have no idea why my posts won’t show up. i don’t really care enough to pursue it, haha. also, i’m just generally trying to find more productive shit to do than dick around on BSS, it’s kinda getting old to me, sorry to say.
Pizza boy! You are retarded! Your brother Jared from the Sac is way cooler than you.
Example #3 of the Hyppocrisy that is KFC: http://nyc.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/syracuseunc-ashville-ref-is-basically-a-professional-ref-for-the-orange/
Featuring such unbiased, rational gems as: “Maybe they should just let Boeheim throw on some stripes and grab a whistle, huh?” And: “Missed goaltending calls, missed 5 second calls, blown out of bounds call, and an absurd lane violation. Spare me the rulebook jargon about the 3 point line and the ball hitting the rim. That kid grabbing that rebound impacted the game in absolutely no way at all whatsoever. Just as refs often let a lot of contact go under neath the hoop, a random rebound on a front end miss of a 1 and 1 with 2 minutes to go is just awful.”
Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, the defense rests.
Yeah you hear it from boston fans all the time cuz bostons always in the playoffs. Like youve never complained about a loss before shut the fuck up
the league doesnt have it out for Boston you shithead, C’s fans arent saying the refs cost them the game (prez is and if you havent caught on to his blatant and intentional homerism/bangwagoning you’re too stupid to be wasting oxygen on, kill yourself), Miami outplayed them plain and simple. But at the same time the officials have it out for anyone standing in the Heat’s way. The biggest Boston hater in the world couldnt reasonably defend those technicals last night – they were attrocious and when you even have the NBA lap-dogs like Steven A and Van Gundy calling it out you know its bad. Stern is the Putin of basketball – he’ll cheat to get his way, he’ll do it right in your face, and there’s nothing anyone is gonna do to stop him (only difference is Stern is a faggoty little Jew nerd and Putin is a badass murderer)
Boston fan here, we love to bitch. I don’t know why but it just seems to be the case. I’ll take that over just having shitty teams to root for though.
But hey, at least BSNY gets to look forward to pumping the Brooklyn Nets tires next season.
Phil Hughes ERA+ this season is 76 (same as last year) and he has a career ERA+ of 96 so he’s a BELOW average pitcher. Get your facts straight.
Of course every fan is going to look for an excuse to why their team lost. Like everyone knows the Heat win that game if it was fairly officiated. And comparing baseball to basketball is completely retarded. There are no technical fouls. No free throws. Just balls and strikes and safe or out. Even Pres doesn’t complain about umping in baseball and he looks for every little excuse. When you have Stephen A Smith a NEW YORKER complaining on Sportcenter and the refs names trending on twitter clearly there are issues. Lets also not forget the whole Tim Donaghy thing happened.
you can both eat a fat dick
