The effort in this game has been entirely second-rate on both ends of the floor, as has the execution.
All the whining about officiating is just embarrassing - like the level of play the Celtics have brought.
We are getting whipped on both ends of the floor. The blame is 100 percent in green. Anything else is just a meaningless rationalization of bad basketball
What he said. This is all on the Celtics' lack of effort tonight.
Pointing out some absolutely horrible, obviously corrupt officiating is not an excuse for poor play. It isnt either/or. Celtics have no intensity, I agree. But it is very hard to have intensity when you cannot be intense without a whistle.
Personally, I agree with the earlier poster: screw the refs. Play hard and foul out. It is better tha playing "smart" and getting destroyed. If the refs are going to call crap, give them something real to call.
Please. The officiating is corrupt?
That's hilarious.
Im not laughing.
It is either corrupt or inept, but the things I have seen tonight look a lot more corrupt (intentionally bad calls) instead of inept( unintentionally badcalls).
Id love to be wrong, but this is terrible.
It would also be nice to get something going on offense and a LOT of something going on defense. This is not all the refs, but it is *obvious* this is not being called fair on both sides.
