These refs are way too quick with the whistle.
Since when did westbrook get the star treatment
I too noticed the Westbrook star treatment, but as far as the whistles, I'm seeing a lot of the opposite -- the refs blowing whistles a full second or two after a play's been made. Boston keeps thinking it made a good defensive play, then the ref pipes up.
And as annoying as Jon Barry is being tonight, he made one good point: Why did Boston abandon the paint after Shaq scored 10 points, on 5-of-5 shooting, from there in the first quarter? It's like Boston's not even realizing its mistakes.
