Brad got a Tech and i couldn't be prouder!

It's about time Brad got a Tech after all these p--- poor calls. He should've gotten two and gotten tossed but it's a start for the young fella! All great coaches in the NBA know they need to get a tech and maybe pay a fine to get the leagues attention. 

Game five is going to be really testy. Sometimes the refs will call those tight and then all our guys won't be in foul trouble at the half.


Go Celtics!

I know.  Some pitiful calls.  What were the refs watching on that missed offensive goaltending by Embiid?  It was plain as day!  The fix was in.  C's in 5!

Thought it was a terribly called game, both ways. There was no flow allowed to happen. Way too many chippy fouls, then obvious fouls, offensive goal tends, travels and 3 seconds let go. I mean some of those 3 seconds had to be 6-7.

If these are the best refs the league have to offer, it's pretty pitiful.

Both ways??  We had 4 players with 3 fouls well before the half and they had NONE!!  Both ways???

It is now 8, correct, as that original tweet was BEFORE the game, correct?

Okay, So it was a Trump moment. I didn't want it to seem I was blaming the refs for the Celtics losing, as I thought they played poorly. That being said, the refs were butt ugly.

The three seconds calls were what was getting me the most.

And the second quarter was 11-1 with fouls? Thats absolutely absurd. I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was THAT bad.

Was an absolutely horrific display of officiating. Imagine how quickly someone would be fired if they displayed such ineptitude in a normal job

I thought I could read Brad's lips to Jaylen after his technical that was something like "i got your back". I'm not a great lip reader, though, and it didn't really hit me until Brad got his technical that maybe that's what he was saying.

The league loses money on sweeps.
The NBA is a joke.

like last year, when GSW and CLE essentially sweeping their way into the finals (so glad we prevented that from happening in the east lol), but man were last year's playoffs boring for a lot of fans, it was predictable, but that BOS - WAS series was amazing

The league wants GSW and CLE in the finals.

I remember the first play of our playoff series against the Cavs. Lebron RAN OVER Smart and shot a layup. No foul call. I turned it off. I knew the winner was predetermined.

It was the funniest thing ever. Stoneface Brad taking a tech to "fire up the team".

If only home cooking would help us in Game 5. But with our luck, refs will probably continue screwing us...
