76ers (3-3) at Celtics (3-3) Round 2 Game 7 5/14/23

[Neurotic Guy]

Every fandom believes the refs are biased against them.   I think some people have an operating assumption that is always in play that foul play by those with power is the norm. Others believe that things generally operate honestly. 

Another constant is that the beholder is always the victim and never the beneficiary of corruption.

I've just never seen a coach cry and whine about it 1 hour before tipoff of a game 7. That "analytically" they won by 20

C's just need to come out fast-pace and play their game. Jays need to cook. If they do that, refs won't matter. We should beat them regardless.

An average game report contains about 500-550 graded plays, per reporting I've done. I'll let folks use whichever adjectives they prefer to describe a gap of 9 errors from that sort of sample.

Another factor: These grading reports are NOT limited only to "correct" and "incorrect" decisions. From my reporting last year (fivethirtyeight.com/features/who-r…), here are the 4 categories graders use:

Again, I will let folks make their own determinations on how to view that report based on this information. But uh, let's just say that similar to other such anonymous reports, it would behoove us to consider the likely source on this one lol

Clearly a Doc/Morey leak lol Trying to influence the refs and narrative going into the game.

Lol I hope this is bulletin board material for the Celtics whatever Flop Rivers said.

Then again, idk what riles up this team.

I hope we are the beneficiary of corruption today!

I hope Scott Foster is even angrier about Doc and the Sixers blaming the refs and doesn't give them any calls 

[celticinorlando]

Doc cries more than anyone else. Such a baby

You're obviously ignoring a bunch of the folks on these game threads.  Nothing tops the whining about refs on these threads.

So thankful to not hear Doris Burke today

[hpantazo]

Doc knows his job is on the line today, he's pulling out all the stops already.
