How is Paul Pierce not suspended for a head butt but Zaza is?

[capstone21]

Man there is a double standard in this league...pure bs

[Joker]

Boston players will never be suspended.

I hate listening to Mr bias Jeff Van Gundy. He is the worst commentator on the main stream channels

[Joker]

REFS, smh.

I don't really think that was a head butt, but w/e. These refs are terrible though. They called a tech on Pierce for a screen, when it was Wade drawing the attention. I'm confused? Pathetic refs...

It's crazy to see how bad NBA officials are compared to any other professorial sport.

but the miami heat double standard is worse, lebron and wade never get called for fouls. If you touch one of them you might get suspended.

[plskeepbibby]

In all fairness the refs have hosed Boston in this game...

From here on out till championship game look for Miami to get every officiating call. Wade is so much better than lebron, but stern has to try and rehabilitate the kings image.

I agree with you on all of that. I thought it might be a fair called game, but I assumed wrong. I also agree with the whole Wade thing.

I do hate Paul Pierce but I am actually cheering for the Celtics. I can't stand the Heat

[AHawks89]

Yeah, I rather Boston win. I can't stand seeing the Heat win, then seeing LeBron try to act like he has swag.

1- That wasn't a headbutt.

2- the league hasn't ruled on a suspension.

3- the celtics were absolutely hosed in this game.

[Bawse]

Terribly officiated game, as much as I hate Boston, they were screwed.

if we can beat the bulls i hope to play the heat next but if we don't. then same here

So Wade grabs Rondo with the ball going in the other direction and sweeps his leg, and apparently that is not a flagrant foul. So to recap, Jermaine O'neal's forearm to James Jones is a flagrant foul, Wade intentionally sweeping the leg after the ball has gone out of bounds? Just a regular foul.

You're a homer, Wade didn't intentionally do that. If anything, Rondo's arm into the back of Wade's head caused him to fall so awkwardly that Rondo got the worst of it. Stop crying.
