The refs were awful. Don't know who they favored, but they were fugly awful. The game was so inconsistently called from touch fouls to ridiculous non-calls. Brutally bad. And you never call a foul like that on KG or anyone else at the end of the game.
Beyond that Rondo and Bass were useless after Q1, Pierce was useless the whole game, and Doc's call to foul was a classic snafu of the first order. We had a 4-5 second differential which we turned into a situation that required us to foul. Idiotic.
Finally, Rondo deserves more than an equal share of the blame. He's the QB on the floor and he was awful and was outplayed.
