KG - Personal Fouls (PFs)

[winsomme]

KG does not get in foul trouble. He has a career average of 2.5 PFs per Game. His career playoff average is 3.1 PFs per Game. He had 5 fouls or more in 4 games this year and fouled out once. Yet, in the first two games of this series he has had 5 fouls in each. This is an aberration and  it is the reason Doc is complaining.

Take a look for yourself:

Honestly, Doc complaining is completely necessary at this point because public scrutiny is the only way to combat this kind of referees intrusion into the game. The Celtics haven't played well and miss Rondo for sure, but it has been very difficult to consider this because the 4th quarter of game 1 and the second half of game 2 weren't really even basketball games. They were completely bizarre happenings.

I didn't feel like I was even watching an NBA game.

not sure how to snap up the youtube clip, but take a look at this clip in a RealGM thread

so bizarre. I mean, how can you even argue in favor of this officiating?

When you're playing on one good foot, and you have a number of other nagging injures (hip pointer), you tend to be a step slower.

We saw KG a step slow and either giving up points or fouling more than usual back in 2010 when he was recovering from his knee surgery.  KG is out there playing at like 50-60% right now. 

I'm not saying that some of the calls weren't bogus, but KG can't expect to get a lot of benefit of the doubt right now, hobbled as he is.
