What would be a worse loss: our loss to LAL last night or the Clippers losing to us without Al and Smart with how we've been playing lately?

Jaylen at full speed has those Tony Allen handles sometimes.  Once he cleans that up he's gonna be unguardable IMO.

Jaylen reminds me of a young Avery when it comes to playing out of control

Jaylen looks awful.  Long way to go to be a good player.

For as intelligent as Jaylen supposedly is off the court, he sure is really lacking in the BBIQ department.

  • Let's Go Celtics!
When Brown is struggling with the outside shot, he needs to be patient and get to the rim.
Aggressive drives to the rim will get fouls at least.

except he can't consistently dribble

I'm really unimpressed by Teodosic.

Are we really moaning about officiating again?

officials dont have it out for us. We just foul the other team more than they foul us. That simple.

No, it's really not that simple. I'm pretty sure we only did the "hack-a-Jordan" twice, meaning there was a legitimate 16-6 disparity in the fouls.

That's simply uncalled for, and in virtually every case in the NBA that is an unjustifiable spreading of the fouls, in one half no less.

And it's not like this is a rare thing; it's literally almost every game that the refs rack up a huge disparity in the first half and then have to compensate with a differing officiating standard in the second half.
I think weve gotten the shaft on some level tonight, but the idea that there exists an agenda or that it doesnt in large part even out is totally ridiculous.

Where were all the conspiracy theorists when we were on the lucky side of call after call against the Warriors?

How about when we were permitted to mug the Rockets the entire second half?

officials make mistakes. Sometimes you end up on the bad side sometimes the good. Moaning about them as if they have an agenda against us is such a poor excuse.

Nobody (at least not me) is saying that they have an agenda. I'm simply saying that they're incompetent, garbage refs, and I say this on pretty much every game I watch.  There's just no objective standard of officiating anymore, and virtually every single ref struggles with consistency, both in individual games and between games. And the result is this type of major foul disparity that is based on pure incompetence and inconsistency.

EDIT: And a perfect example right there - Johnson CLEARLY goaltends on that Brown "jumpball," yet the ref somehow misses that right in front of him.
OK

I can agree with all this. I think officials are garbage and I think it is a problem (although I think a large part of the problem is that its just really really hard).

My comment was directed at the people who think officials have it out for us. Thats bogus.

TP. And it certainly is hard. Hell, even junior high games that I would ref were hard.

The fundamental problem is that they're simply too involved in the game. Many of the calls that they make shouldn't be made, and this leads to more chances to err. But since the NBA is really pushing this offense/perimeter-oriented game anymore, the refs have to call that crap.
Agreed on all points. Let the boys play.

TP.

Us losing to LA.  Losing to them is ALWAYS a terrible loss.  Especially when it's because of a bogus FT disparity.

Yeah, that off court intelligence is meaningless.

Well, at least Brown's free throws are looking better.

I’m sure Brown is as horrible on radio as he is on tv. Woof this is a really bad night.
