OT: Celts/Bulls

[RobertWeathers]

These refs suck.

The lean call on Horford by Wade was pathetic.

The hook call on IT was worse.

The Wade lean in sucked, too.

It's a joke. That's not even on the officials. That's how they call it. You'd think after all this time they'd change that.

My idea : Lean in to draw a shooting foul...technical. Would stop this BS.

I am at this point very confident the Celtics win. They came out very flat and not focused IMO but recovered nicely after that. It has been neck and neck since then but it felt like the Celtics were poised to go on a run and the Bulls managed desperately to stop it each time. It has a feeling of the Celtics ready to jump up by 10 points sooner or later and see how the Bulls respond. When that happens I don't think they have to offense or defense to close the gap completely.

Edit: Happened a lot later than i thought but pretty much what i thought would happen did eventually.

This is a nut cracker.

 

[IcyPatriot]

This is basketballs version of hand to hand combat ... not pretty at all and it plays to the refs whims.

Also screw Duane Wade and Lopez looks like a llama.

 

[Jackson 2]

Horrid goaltending call.

Bill Belichick covets Thomas' 3 Cone Drill.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Nice pick ... now that's a pick.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Up your ass Lopez ... screw you P.O.S.

 

[Jackson 2]

Lopez needs a straight jacket...

 

[IcyPatriot]

Butler is a nice player but still do not understand those who wanted Ainge to give a boatload for him.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Scal is horrible

Drives me up the wall him with the Celtics and Jack with the Bruins.
Also man I am getting old ... I remember Gorman calling the PC Friar games on NBC Providence.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Nice hard fought win ... the hate on the court is at an Apex.

LOL, I remember seeing NBA doubleheaders on Sunday afternoons at the old Providence Arena when I was a kid. Now, that's old!

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Great!

Bradley was Kawhi esque on both ends tonight. Butler isn't worth giving up all the picks for.

I don't like the lean in, but that's the way the game is called now. My second favorite player (Pierce) made a living off it. So I can't really say anything. As long as it's not too outrageous and it's called for both sides I don't mind it that much. What makes me really mad is when it's not even almost a foul and it still gets called. Like tonight where Dirty Wade had to take two steps towards the player who had not touched him to initiate contact. Officials should know better than to call ridiculous nonsense like that.
