Here's the thing, though....NBA officials "ARE" among the best in the game....when they "WANT" to be..As long as the game was close it should've been apparent to us that the calls were going to go AGAINST BOS...and they did.Any time the analysts commenting on the game can see things the refs can't see then you know something is up.Fans aren't dumb.The only solace we can take away from the game is that we are DEFINITELY among the elite in the game - with our roster AS IS....After blowing LAL out in BOS - with their FULL roster and OUR full roster...we take the LAL to the last minute IN LA.....without our All-Star starting PG......but they had the stripes on their side....That was plain to see, to me at least. And I complain about the officiating VERY LITTLE on here.Here you go, NBA - fine ME.

HmmmmThe ball hit ADs pinkie last, but on the way out, after that, it DID graze Brown's hand and change directions. So, that ball was correctly called out on Brown. I watched it over and over on replay. The broadcast wasn't focused on that ... their bad.

The broadcast wasn't focused on that ... their bad.I don't care - I am over it, and am confident we are contenders this year, but you are literally the only person I have seen who has said this. It has been pretty common knowledge - even from the commentators - that it went off of AD's pinky.
Just a reminder: over-the-back is not a foul in basketball. You are allowed to reach over someone's back to get a rebound. Look it up. If you push player or grab their arms that's a foul. But typically on rebounds both players jump for the ball and there is contact by both in the air. They do a fairly good job not calling these.
NBA’s Last 2 Minute Report says refs pitched a perfect game over final 120 seconds of Celtics-Lakers.
Best thing about this game is how the Celtics players, especially the younger guys, played on full steam ahead despite these bad calls, instead of getting bogged down in complaining and getting their heads out of the game.
