My guess is you're allowed to decapitate the shooter provided you hit the ball first? I don't know what the actual rule is.

Everyone with a post-game press conference should get fined calling out the officiating

it shouldn’t be lost in the ref-ball that shooting with 3 seconds left in a tie game is truly horrific clock management. That’s on both Joe and Jaylen.
The Celtics insist on just playing on in the last possession, (or what should have been the last possession), as opposed to calling a timeout and setting up a play. This game should have been a Celtics last second win, or overtime.

I guess it’s good that the only time Boston seems to lose is either in OT or the last seconds, but the last piece of the championship puzzle is correctly navigating crunch time. It didn’t get done today, and in almost all the losses this season.

By the logic that there was no foul and you somehow grant Indiana the rebound as if there was no whistle, they shouldn’t also get the benefit of no time coming off the clock at the moment of the whistle. Should run the clock down however long it was in the air if there was no foul.

Not a huge fan of Jaylen's final minute there. Two low percentage takes and if not for the TO he was about to do his pivot fadeaway which isn't exactly a high percentage look either.

Why was the ball awarded to the Pacers when the whistle blew on the JB foul/non-foul? Should have been a jump ball.

which is pretty stupid if true. The whistle blew so you naturally stop playing.
No that was the correct call with no Celtic in the area and a direct rebound of the shot.

He was triple teamed, he should have moved it to White.

I really hate isos.

I refuse to believe that replay overturn was on the up and up. There is no way that an impartial official would look at that and not notice the forearm to the head. That was a full Donaghy.

I think because since it was changed to a play on so if there was possession when the whistle blew that team gets the ball, which the Pacers had

edit @RSN Diaspora disproves the timing of the foul, should 100% been a jump ball

First one was fine. They needed to get a shot off to to have the two for one. And Jaylen was sinking that all night.

The second was disorganized and sloppy. We can't be too mad they didn't bail us out with the foul (even though it was a foul).

The Cs must have numbers, or at least a theory, that giving a team a chance to set defense and sub is more detrimental than getting to organize offensively and draw up a play. I see the logic. It's unconventional. That possession tonight did not do a lot to convince me.

I'm still confused on why the Pacers got possession.
This part is mind-blowing. This is the moment the ref blew the whistle. The ball is circled in orange, and Porzingis (circled in green) is charging toward the rim as Jaylen shoots. He pulls up immediately after the whistle gets blown, as the ball is in the air. Does anyone know the rule on this?

Yep. The only officiating issue I have is the Brown overturn, which is of course the entire game.

Third quarter just wasn't good enough. Too many turnovers. I'll have to go back and look at the defense, but giving up that many points in the second half was no bueno.

Inexcusable. I want to know who made the decision as I thought it went to NJ but others said it was made on the floor by the crew. If it was NJ than kudos to the crew for getting every fuckin call down the stretch correct at game speed....but we lose bc on slo-mo an Indiana native overturned it? Wtf

Has to be NJ right? I’m not saying Tyler Ford had money on the game but the more I think about it the more it bothers me. Something isn’t right here. Beef with the Celtics or Jaylen Brown? That just cannot happen.

The language is "reasonably certain" on who would have gained possession. They got it right as the ball was landing in the hands of the Pacers rebounder with no Celtics in position to challenge it.

I don’t believe that’s the rule—if it is, teams should crazily jump after the ball after every whistle in case there’s a replay reversal.

as I read the rule it is:

If the ball is released on an unsuccessful field goal attempt or is loose when the horn or whistle sounds, the ball will be jumped at center circle between any two opponents in the game.

where are you getting the direct rebound language?

That blown JB call is awful on many levels. But mainly because we can’t rip how dumb it was to
1) shoot with 3+ seconds in a tie game
2) drive east west drifting into the corner against a triple team
3) start to see this development (generously around 7 seconds) and not call time out

There are times you don’t call timeout, but without our main end of game option tonight (JT) there was even more chance of confusion and chaos on that final possession. The fact that nobody on the staff was anticipating that is really disappointing

other than Porzingis, the tallest guy on the court.

the awarding of possession is honestly even worse than the Brown overrule, which is saying something.

The end of game coaching close and late remains a problem. When your guy is shooting with 4 seconds left there and the other team has a timeout, that is a coaching failure.

I do find Joe’s stubbornness about not using the TO on the final possession odd. It isn’t working.
I have just become numb/indifferent to Joe not using a TO at the end of games

BUT at this point, CJM needs to start calling a TO, and set up a play to get the ball into KP in the post

JT & JB just want to go ISO in every late/tight situation which leads to inefficient FGA

I read the reasonably certain language as being about triggering a review because it is unclear who had possession. I see nowhere it applies to a loose ball on a reversal of a foul. Only language I see about a loose ball or foul reversal says jump ball.

Am I missing it?

He’s from the Brad Stevens camp on that—I wish he took more after Bob Huggins.

He should have dated them to give him a T after the KP “foul”….those two calls back to back are mind boggling.

still unclear why it wasn’t a jump ball on the Jaylen foul
Supposedly there was a clear recovery by Indiana.. so as Grandy said on the broadcast.. you basically have to play through the whistle at this point.. because why, as a player, would you try to get the ball after a foul has been called?

yeah but that’s simply not what happened on the court. I mean it is not even remotely close.

I understand that’s what they must have ruled—-I’m just saying—-there’s no basis in the rules or the replay to support it

They've been great far more often than not this season.

where I was last at
,I would have liked CJM call out the refs for blowing the call. Get fined.

And then ask where the fuck do they get off handing the game to the Pacers at the free throw line at the buzzer.

Spilled milk but CJM should have kicked over the milk bucket.

The ruling of a clear recovery means that there is not a reasonable chance of a Celtics having a chance at the rebound. Porzingis was several feet behind the Pacers rebounder as he was gathering the ball. He wasn't getting to that ball.

Yeah, they do this a lot to determine possession, but it really shouldn't be this way. Everything after the whistle should be considered void as play is dead and you don't know how players on both teams would have acted differently without the whistle. Instead, they pretend like the whistle never happened. Very strange.
