I realize that it’s normal for fan to think the referees are out to get his team or calling the game all little bit against his team but tonight‘s game come on man this is ridiculous. I think it’s been happening a lot of this season. I constantly see games that look like the refs are just against us or maybe they're betting on the other team or something I don’t now. We know it’s not suspicion but complete fact that one NBA referee took money to throw games so hey I was supposed to think he’s the only one besides he said it wasn’t just him acting alone he said there are other refs doing it and that the NBA was involved which the NBA denied. Is there some anti Celtics conspiracy or am I just a paranoid fan?
I think at one level it's our style of play - we play aggressive, hardnosed defense and that leads to more chances for whistles. Also - and this one of things that really annoys me about the league - is that there is clearly a different standard for different players. Rookies / no name vets are at the very bottom of the totem pole, and we always seem to have a lot of them on our team. Players like Theis have a totally different standard than say Anthony Davis. If Davis had blocked that shot Theis got the tech for complaining about the refs never would have blown the whistle.
i dont usually moan about refs, but my biggest complaint is exactly as you state - a double standard. for me it erodes the game and makes it less interesting to watch. tp

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
