How was that traveling when Harden does worse every time he drives the ball ??

I swear earlier this year we faced sum1 who got a tech for delay of game and a regular tech and they said the delay of game tech doesnt count towards the 2 for an ejection?

These refs clearly don't know the rules of the game.

These refs have been something else tonight. Terribly missed calls all game..

How in the world was that a travel on smart?!?

Honestly I'm not sure the Celts are gonna be a top three seed, at this rate. It doesn't feel as though theyre gonna become some different team, at this rate. They're good but not great.

Only thing that would change that is a trade or somebody making a leap, e.g. jaylen or Hayward. I don't believe either of those things is happening.

They could maybe still upset somebody in the playoffs though.

It was actually the hanging on the rim tech by Deandre Jordan in the Mavs game.

This is easily the worst officiated game I've seen this year. Just complete incompetence all night long on both sides of the ball for BOTH teams.

That was a clear backcourt violation.

Right.  Why was the whistle blown and then Houston gets the ball back?  What?

I hope there's lots of people watching this game.  Even a casual basketball fan can see how awful NBA officiating is.

looks like we better be ready to win on the road this year in playoffs.

It looked like two steps to me....

[JSD]

Smart travel call was insane...

I refuse to believe Hayward is going to be playing like this come march and april

but I may be a homer...

[liam]

As bad as this game has been the refs made it infinitely worse...

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Bench blew this one.
