During one of the most intriguing series of the 2009 playoffs their was a technical error that led to the Bulls not being given a point.

This series has been so astonishing because in the 7 games the had played. In total the teams went to 7 overtimes and the Bulls left a mark on the defending champions, the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics this year were hyped to be the best team in the NBA this season only to be outdone by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Who posted an astonishing 66-16 win-loss record. The Bulls coming into the game were tied 3-3 in games and they were never considered to be in contention with the Celtics. The Bulls a number 7 seed ended the season with a satisfying 41-41 record. Due to these slim odds that they had the used their brightest superstar who is Derrick Rose. He led the team at the point guard position and led them in points and assists.

In the decisive game 7, it was played in Boston, there happened to be a technical error in which the scorekeeper gave 2 points to the Bulls instead of 3. This led to the Bulls being defeated by 109-99, but with this added point the game could’ve been completely different. From this technical error the coach might have done his strategy differently and the players might have been playing harder instead of giving the game to the Boston Celtics.

On my final statement to the Boston Celtics, their fans, and that scorekeeper the only way you guys beat us is that you cheated. In game 5 Rajon Rondo a six foot guard tried to block a 6-11 center and hit him in the mouth from behind which led to him missing the open runner. This led to Brad Miller to have to be checked by the medical crew and was seriously bleeding from his mouth. He later missed these and the Celtics won the game. Second, you had to pay a scorekeeper to mistakenly put 2 instead of 3 and change the complexion of the game. Finally, I have three questions, Why didn’t Rajon Rondo get fined or suspended for his action? Why do the Celtics feel that their better than the Bulls? And finally, Why did the Boston Celtics cheat to beat a better team?
