Good grief the Celtics (and refs) did everything imaginable to give this game to Golden State at the end.

Who is that dickcheese ref that’s balding with the awful combover? May want to start investigating him

That was a good win. YRMV but that was a gutty, find-a-way, type of victory. Furthermore, it kills all the narratives about "daddy" stuff that some were pointing to earlier in thread. And it also lets the Warriors know that Boston isn't going anywhere.

Huge win.

This is the same shitty one sided refereeing we got in the finals. But we’re a better team now and overcame it

I’m happy my earlier take in this thread aged poorly. The ending made me age poorly as well.

The NBA seems to be using the equivalent of the nearly impossibly high review standard the NFL used for PI calls when they were briefly reviewable.

Honestly wild the ref watched Wiggins hit the ball then chase the ball because he knew he’d hit the ball and still call it for GS.

NBA needs an eye in the sky system like the NFL to correct on court fuck ups quickly and transparently.
I want lasers to shoot at the offending refs too. Imagine the NBA running out of officials because Josh Tiven got fried during a Wolves/Rockets game on a Tuesday night.

Overcame the refs, shooting 39%/31%/73% and 17 turnovers to win the game.

IMO, that's a great win, and a brutal fucking loss for GSW. They are going to spend months worrying about how to get bigger so they don't get worked on the glass in the playoffs. The C's just need to shoot better and take care of the ball better.

But seriously, fuck the refs. That was a goddamned joke. Part of me is now very, very intrigued on why that spread was 7 points. Seemed high to begin with, but I guess you had to give the NBA the opportunity to make sure the better team won, but the right team covered.

I was a guilty party but the Cs have proved me wrong and also hit this checkpoint with a passing grade, just as they turned the December malaise around this month before it festered around to the tune of falling to the 3rd/4th seed in the East.

Reviewer BAE got a bunch of love in the bubble for his blue steel but he is actually just another shit ref.
