I do other things

I know, I know, not a lot of updates on the blog. What do you want? It's May.

For the rest of this month this becomes a Celtics Blog. Of course, it is not the real Celtics Blog.

So, I have a couple of minutes here in Bridgeport at a US Boxing Showcase.

You know why I like boxing? Because it is so subjective and sometimes corrupt, but never hides that fact. Why am I saying that?

Because at least boxing and its referees know they are a little shady. The same can't be said of the NBA and its refs.

Editors note: JSilver is a crazy Celtics fan

It is Friday at 8 p.m., 24 hours until the Cavs-Celtics game 3, and I am here to tell you the fix is in. This is a preemptive complaint about NBA officiating. LeBron is 8-of-42 and there is no way the NBA will allow the golden boy to struggle once again. My prediction is 20 free throws for LeBron and Cavs pull out a squeaker.

Boxing knows its sketchy? The NBA? It reminds me of pro wrestling. Everyone in the arena knows that the guy gets hit in the head with a chair EXCEPT the guy that counts.

And I am not being Pro-Celts. The Rajon Rondo play where he was fouled while shooting a three was as bad as I have ever seen. He was never touched and just did the Reggie Miller kick out. Awful.

I know all the refs. Dick Pavetta, Bennett Salvatore, Steve Javie, Joey Crawford and Violet Palmer...

No other officials group has had such a sordid past. NBA officials have engaged in tax evasion and point shaving. I would say they have a career as boxing judges ahead.

Between the officials and Doc Rivers' rotations, Celts don't have a chance...
