Trail Blazers (35-28) at Celtics (34-30) Game #65 5/2/21

[blink]

Couldn't see what happened. Tatum looked like he got hurt by Brown hitting his lower leg, though he looked to walk it off. What happened to Brown?

announcers were saying ankle

Wait..so  how the heck did Smart get ejected on a play where he got fouled on a moving pick, and got one tech??? That's garbage.

Because Smart also hit the dude in the nuts and he has a reputation for it so refs just threw him out because of it.

He accidentally hit the guy as he got fouled on a moving pick, same way Powell accidentally hit Smart hard in the face earlier and the refs reviewed that one and called it a common foul. Can't have it both ways.

Yeah - legit, show me where his arm should've gone. It's attached at the shoulder m8. He reached for the ball, then the arm bounced off McCollum's arm and got guided into Nurkic's groin.

Just rewatching it on League Pass on slowmo.

Literally nowhere else that arm COULD have gone.

Because of PHYSICS.

Point is he has a history. Refs didn’t give him benefit of the doubt. If his didn’t have a history of questionable calls, he’d be in the game.

Ankle for Brown went in and out. Out is the one you worry about. It was slightly but it was because of Tatum falling on it.

That one scares me a lil.

JB stepped on someone’s foot. Not sure if it’s the same ankle that he’s been having problems with.

Yeah but looking at the replay for 5 minutes and still getting it wrong. Come now.

[PAOBoston]

Season in serious jeopardy right now if Brown/Tatum are not 100%. Real danger Cs miss the playoffs.

This game is the opposite of the Spurs game.

We faded down the stretch.

I like our offensive flow though, it's just the Blazers hit lots of tough shots.

Hopefully the Jays are OK.

Bc Brad took out Nesmith and Pritchard

Especially Nesmith

The guy went 6-7...cmon ride him a little

Yeah, ride the hot shooters. That was some of the best shooting we've had all year but gave 42 shots to Brown, Smart and Thompson. Everyone else shot lights out!!!!

as long as it isn't a high ankle sprain, sit him until the playoffs and hope for the best.

Is it the same ankle that almost kept him out of this game?

That is totally different story. These refs are horrible. Not sure who the crew was tonight but they have a lot of g league refs in the nba right now due to large volume of covid cases by regular refs.

yup, all those bad losses stack up and leave you NO wiggle room at the end of the year.

Refs are paid to call the game based on what happens on the floor during the game. Player history has nothing to do with it, they had the benefit of the replay and over 5 minutes to review it. It's blatant bias and ruined the whole flow of what was a great game until then.

I'd love to see Brad stand up for Smart on this one.
