Don't you think it's about time for Kelly Olynyk to stand up for himself against these officials. get a couple technicals called on yourself or better yet, get thrown out of one of these unwinnable games by stating you know where the ref's wife was when she came home late!!! these officials are all over this kid and he never is anything but polite. I would wait for one of these really horrendous calls and I would bounce one off the idiot's groin area!!!

Officials reward certain styles of play.  Whatever that style is, Olynyk plays the exact opposite.  He gets zero respect because he's not aggressive on offense and it always feels like he's a step behind the play on defense.  The NBA games move so fast that officials have to make instinctive calls at a breakneck pace.  Guys like Smart take advantage of this by giving the refs opportunities to make "easy" calls in his favor.  Like beating a guy to a spot and taking a dive.  Olynyk is always on the wrong end of those plays, forcing officials to make tough calls even when he's right.

Didn't Mike say during the game that KO has committed the most fouls IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE? :o  Now there's something to put on the fridge (sarcasm), lol. ;D  Ugh.

I know all about that stuff, PickNRoll, but from a Celtic standpoint, wouldn't you love to see a couple of these refs take one in the testes!!!!!!

Drummond  1101 min 126 fouls
Olynyk           872 min 126 fouls
Len                 767min 124 fouls

Defensive beast.

LOL.  Pretty much all of them deserve it. 

At some point you have to blame the league tho.  They're telling the refs how to call it.  Like Scal said tonight, don't try this at home kids.  These guys aren't playing basketball.  This is the NBA.

Complete tangent, but Alex Len is WAY better than I thought.  Watching some Phoenix games lately and he challenges a lot of shots.
