Series Thread: 1) Celtics vs. 6) Pacers

[LogicMan]

Well this was the one that Indy deserved

But that first half defense by the Celtics was horrible.

Nice to see Brown and Tatum win in crunch time.

Holiday the hero as well

Got to be hard to be a Pacers fan tonight

 

[ducky]

Damn.

Brown on what was the difference in overtime: ”Energy plays, JT finally woke up”.

If you are in-bounding the ball with 10 seconds left in the game and you are up by 3, you must win that game, Can't choke like that

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

This game is on Haliburton and Siakam

Your best players can't have turnovers that bad in the final 30 seconds when you are in the lead

Coach needs to call a timeout the instant the ref counts to three on the inbound.

Celtics attempted 10 more threes and somehow ended up with 20 more ft attempts lol

"Bird stole the Ball"

 

[bksballer89]

Really don't get how teams still don't foul up 3 late in the game

 

[bksballer89]

Numbers not adding up. The team who nearly shot 50% of their shots from 3 shouldn’t be +20 in free throw attempts.

The refs are once again for the Celtics. That’s why Pacers lost

Point me to the post where I said that you bozo

 

[bksballer89]

Teams who shoot 10 more threes than their opponents shouldn’t also get to the line 20 more times. It’s the main reason why the warriors always struggled to win the ft battle since kd left

I am just saying that the refs impacted this game for the benefit of the Celtics

 

[LogicMan]

Halliburton interview was good. He took ownership for the turnover disaster. Stated it was less the Celtics D than his own errors and others.

I am just saying teams that shoot nearly 50 threes per game don't also get to the line 30X

Celts were a bottom 5 team in free throw attempts per game during the regular season for that reason. It is almost impossible to shoot that amount of 3's per game and also get to the line a lot as well

Not often does the team who attempts 10 fewer 3's also is -20 in ft attempts.

Personally watching the game, I didn't think it was poorly officiated game but I do review box scores after playoffs games as well and that caught my eye

 

[tlance]

foul or not ref lover @tlance ?

Of course it is a foul.

You call people liars on here all the time.

You are lying by intentionally misrepresenting my point about officiating.

You have no idea how hard it is because you have never done it.

That was a quick transition play. You see that 50 some year old man sprinting down the sideline trying to catch up?

That was the ref who was trying to get in position to make the call. He was out of position and did not have a clear view.

How can he realistically be expected to keep up with NBA players on a play like this?

But you just default to

“Oh the refs are terrible”.

No.

NBA basketball is impossible to officiate.

A simple "it was a missed call" would have been fine here

No need to add 1000 excuses for the ref

And no need for you to lie about my position on the refs.

Yet you do it consistently.

This is just my new way of posting about refs on here as long as I am able to find the play on twitter

When there is a call I disagree with, I will now @ the ref lovers like yourself and a few others as I will like your honest opinion on calls I would complain about in real time while watching the games

Look, I have been mostly staying out of these conversations this year.

But you tag me, and I am going to call you out.

You are totally ignorant on this topic.

Put your money where your mouth is and go sign up to ref high school games in your area. Make a few bucks and educate yourself.

But you won’t do that because you don’t have the courage to.

I am a busy man. Don't have time for that

Back to the call I tagged you in, my big question for you Mr. Ref Lover is do you think this a call that should have been missed you know since these are professionals and this looked like a clear foul?
