Why were Boston fans booing David Stern?

[Tacker]

Are they still mad about what happened in '84 when they thought stern was cheating them to giving the le to L.A??

[dknights411]

EVERYBODY boos David Stern. he's been booed in San Antonio, Cleveland, Miami, Dallas, you name it. It's not just Boston.

[baseline bum]

For giving them such a ty Finals opponent

[balli]

Haven't you ever watched the draft? I've never seen Stern in front of a crowd where he didn't get booed. And he especially deserved it this year in the wake of the ongoing ref scandal.

[gameFACE]

He gets booed everywhere. Plus no one is buying his at all right now.

[bigfish22]

I think half of them were saying TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH

[ChumpDumper]

Because Stern fixed the playoffs!

[Ghazi]

I dont see why Miami Heat fans would boo David Stern.

I dont see why Miami Heat fans would boo David Stern.

Because he didn't decide that he wanted Wade to win until the 4th quarter of Game 3.

[m33p0]

its a coverup.

[Twisted_Dawg]

As much as I hate the Mavs, they did represent by booing the out of Stern when Miami beat them to win the le. The Mavs got a good ass raping by the refs in that series....much like we also did against the Mavs in the playoffs that year.

And the Rockets in 2005.

You know, on the subject of Boston fans, they put every other home crowd to shame last night. Any crowd can get the "M-V-P" chant going, but they were bringing the house down on the Lakers BAD in the fourth quarter. I know it was probably prompted by the Garden's entertainment department but they kept that "Good-bye" song going for a long ing time. And the "Se-ven-teen!" chants were great as well.

If that was the Lakers at home in a clincher game and they were up 20-30-40 points in the game, their fans would be so bored with a huge blowout that they'd be texting on their Blackberrys or talking to each other about how much their lipo bill was.

I think GS took the cake fan wise the previous season, even if they consisted of the largest bandwagon ever assembled.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

they should feel grateful to this guy who didn't dare punishing KG for pushing refs and made this finals possible. It wouldn't have happened in any other universe.

yeah the refs are responsible for your team getting curbstomped by 40 in game 7.

[hater]

who wouldn't boo Stern? he is a failure

[GuerillaBlack]

yeah the refs are responsible for your team getting curbstomped by 40 in game 7.

It wasn't game seven. Game 5.

[monosylab1k]

It wasn't game seven. Game 5.

because the refs screwed the Rockets out of the series by one call in Game 5. especially when they got curbstomped by 40 in Game 7.

[monosylab1k]

if they got the right call on Finley, does that mean your team eventually goes on to lose Game 7 by only 30 points?

[GuerillaBlack]

Oh yeah, one call:

Probably.

one missed call, after about 40 missed moving screen violations on Yao in games 1 and 2. I dont think anyone in the league gets away with setting more moving screens in the league than Yao Ming, except maybe KG, after seeing him get away with like 4 moving screens in one sequence the other night.

[monosylab1k]

Oh yeah, one call:

Looks like the refs & David Stern really wanted to help out Mark Cuban since they have such a good relationship.

[monosylab1k]

if they called the Yao moving screens properly from the start of Game 1, Mavs win that series in 5.
