I hate to bring this up again but I've been noticing this for a while. In fact ever since Delonte's most recent second game back @Houston I feel the quality of the refereeing has taken a flush down the toilet. Not in the final box score because the refs make sure to even out their bad calls with less significant calls at less crucial points of the game, but the Celts have not been gettin their due. To my eyes (self admitted Celts diehard but basketball diehard first) it seems like the Celtics always work for their fouls and draw a high percentage of them in the paint while opponents are able to draw ticky tack fouls on the perimeter consistently. All I am really getting at is I hope this isn't a warm up for the playoffs because the refereeing in some of last year's playoff games (game 3 of the finals for one) nearly gave me a heart attack.
btw.. If there is a lock-out next season when play resumes fans across the league should band together for the greater good and not attend the first few games back until our demands are met, namely better refereeing!
