I don't get too worked up or worried about January games but I REALLY want this one. Should've gotten them in Houston.

Harden is gone. Or at least he better be. That's a majorly flagrant blow to the head.

Why would Harden get a foul? JJ's face viciously assaulted his hand.

A flagrant 1. Wow. The NBA is so rigged. Anyone else and that's a flagrant 2.

Nah, the NBA isn't rigged. This one crew is abominable, though.

Not fixed like that. I mean rigged for its stars in an unfair way.

Ehh, it's an inherently star-centric game. It makes some sense for them to get preferential treatment. However, this does not excuse this crew. They've had absolutely no control over this game whatsoever and have been an embarrassment to the NBA's refs.

This team plays much better angry!

Celtics can't letup now. They need to crush these Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s .

FWIW I dont think the arm fling was intentional by Harden. Most guys still get tossed due to how hard he hit Jerebko.

The defense intensity from last year is back man, it's glorious.

Thank God, too. Soooo much better like that, and it's so much more enjoyable watching this team when they actually play defense.

I missed this so much.....

[saltlover]

I'd really love to see the entire officiating report on this game.

[mr. dee]

IT time is good, but I prefer Celtic time! Team work will win you many games.

Intention is not suppose to be part of the call.

This is why Smart is such a winner and so crucial to us. Look at that possession right there.

[slamtheking]

THAT'S why Smart is a key player for this team. 

[Monkhouse]

Did you see what Smart just did?

Celtics.
