Game 7: Knowing More Than Who Our Parents Were

[Light-Tower-Power]

Do or die and they can’t take care of the ball. JFC

He dribbled it off the other guy’s foot. What are you going to do about that?

 

[Obscure Name]

Maybe Brown will improve his handles next year.

 

[McBride11]

LOL WHAT. He didn't even touch him

 

[mostman]

Just withstand the ref shit show.

 

[ifmanis5]

Bad use of the challenge even if they win it. Save it for later.

 

[JCizzle]

NBA, where the worst officiating on the planet happens!

 

[Section15Box113]

Not sure who blew the whistle there, but just sayin'.
How does Scott Foster get a game 7?

I mean... C'mon.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I just don’t understand that call. Harden didn’t even really flop, what was the ref looking at that could possibly lead him to think there was a foul?

 

[luckiestman]

Bad whistle bad bounces

 

[Just a bit outside]

Fourth bad call in the last 2 minutes against the Celtics

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I haven't been this incensed since yesterday when Cora set fire to Sale's tremendous performance.

 

[timelysarcasm]

We’re fine. A load of horseshit so far but it will even out.

 

[serotonin]

"Can I have a foul please?"

"OK"

 

[Ed Hillel]

Challenge it. Take a possession and no free throws every time.

 

[chilidawg]

After a good first quarter from the ref's, that's a run of bad calls

 

[AB in DC]

This is borderline unwatchable.

 

[Obscure Name]

Looks like we've got an NBA playoff game here.

 

[JCizzle]

CJM is in over his head. That challenge is atrocious at this point.

 

[Average Game James]

How does Scott Foster get a game 7?

I mean... C'mon.

Somehow the NBA thinks most of the other refs are even worse

 

[TripleOT]

Three calls go against the Celts in the first two minutes of the second quarter

 

[mostman]

Green light special?

You just can’t this early. It’s not worth enough.

 

[soxin6]

You would rather Tony Brothers?

 

[BaseballJones]

This game is giving me serious agita.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I turn on the game and see Scott Foster make two bad calls in 5 minutes. Click. Typical NBA.

 

[scottyno]

This game is why they need to let you keep your challenge if you get it right. Cs would have won 3 challenges already, but they can't burn it now because they'll probably need it later when they fuck something else up

 

[lars10]

It’s a foul, but the late whistle shit to see whether the shot goes in pisses me off to no end.

If it's not a foul on one end it shouldn't be on this end.. and by the standard of what's been called in the game it wasn't a foul.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I know it's early, but there's a case to challenge the Harden one. It will be overturned, and the game is a little tenuous now.

Also, the refs has been donaghy-bad this quarter----if they were on the take they literally couldn't have been worse or more obvious about it. So making a point there is of some value.

You almost wonder if Secaucus is going to phone in during this break---it's pretty embarassing to have three obvious misses in two minutes of game time where the announcers call them all out.

 

[dhellers]

Bad use of the challenge even if they win it. Save it for later.

If it gets the refs out of there stupidity zone, it is worth it.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Stevens should buy Rob some hand grippers for his birthday

 

[Ale Xander]

Somehow the NBA thinks most of the other refs are even worse

Many of them are

it’s so sad

 

[MannyRam]

One problem with putzing around in this series - you leave yourself susceptible to incompetent refereeing in a win or go home game 7

 

[JakeRae]

Bad use of the challenge even if they win it. Save it for later.

Would’ve been better to use it on either of the earlier ones but at this point it was pick up a T or use a challenge because Mazzulla can’t just sit back and watch the Celtics play 5 on 8.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Bad use of the challenge even if they win it. Save it for later.

No always take the clearer call and 2 ft off the board

 

[JCizzle]

If it gets the refs out of there stupidity zone, it is worth it.

Foster will double and triple down and laugh in your face while doing it.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Just turned on the game to watch two successive shit-ass calls. I haven't trusted the NBA since I listened to the Whistleblower podcast and this ain't helping...

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I just don’t understand that call. Harden didn’t even really flop, what was the ref looking at that could possibly lead him to think there was a foul?

What's been noted a couple times is that the refs call what they expect to see sometimes---that time they expected that action would lead to defensive contact, so they called it. Even though it didn't actually occur

 

[ifmanis5]

Not a challenge, just a timeout. Web reporters say Joe ripped into the team.

 

[timelysarcasm]

And fuck James Harden.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

You're a wise man. Salem. Wish I was.

 

[NWsoxophile]

Irate watching that replay

3, and also a very late borderline call on top of it

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cool and you have all that long clutch coaching record of Doc's to back you up.

One title, for the good guys. Mazzulla doesn't look like an NBA coach to me.

 

[Ale Xander]

Harden has one field goal and we’re still down 7

 

[lars10]

So they reviewed that and found that it was a foul?

 

[EddieYost]

Breen just say it was a bad call

 

[JCizzle]

Ok good, no challenge. Just give them an earful.

 

[shawnrbu]

Who is Red Boots?

 

[soxin6]

Is every National color person terrible?

 

[JakeRae]

Smart took a shot to the head there.

 

[TripleOT]

Rob needs to get more actI’ve on offense
