BillKennedy - 4 point swing, half a dozen times, takes 3 minutes, that's the ballgame; no way to play D, no way to take the ball to the hole; when refs take over a game, everything goes to heck and there's no way to combat it; examples: KG hammered, sideline; Evans held, FTs; Young pass, FTs; Bass moving screen, minimal; Hawes moving screen knocks Rondo to his hands, Williams has 3 seconds for a wide wide wide open 3; KG hammered beginning in Q1: no need to call fouls, the C's are ahead; it continued all game; KG lay-up hammered, no call
when you get hammered inside and there are no calls, you stop going inside, the other team gets confidence, momentum, the crowd, and they keep doing it because why not, they also get transition buckets; when you get touch fouls going around screens and they are in the penalty after 5 minutes, you stop getting up on them on D and the whole game opens up
it doesn't take much and then momentum takes over
Bill Kennedy obviously hates Doc and the Celtics; there wasn't even any attempt to call a fair game
He was the star of the show; he took over the game for the better part of 3 quarters - longer series is good for TV, receipts in Philly, the league etc. when you have Doris Burke rooting for a close game (why exactly?) you know where the institutional bias is
