They definitely could. I'd rather they go after George though.

Probably evens out. He doesn't get calls as well. People that complain about the NBA refs on a team by team basis baffle me. It's just part of the game at this point. They are horribly inconsistent and make a good amount of questionable calls every game.

Not saying you personally are complaining about them but the refs make the game borderline unwatchable. I've just learned to deal with it at this point.

It was just excessive tonight. Admittedly it's not always that way, but it didn't seem right for him to get so many like that during playoff ball. I guess I typically expect the opposite, especially watching Portland and GS earlier today where they let the little guys bump and grab on each other all game long.

If you've been around much to see me post about officiating you know that I can't stand small players getting fouls because they are easily knocked off balance while big players don't get calls for the same contact. IT tonight was super small getting super calls lol.

honestly in this game really could've just used another player other than Bradley and Horford to make a shot.

Boston is one of the worst 1 seeds in history.

There were a few instances tonight where IT fell to the floor and got no call. If you can't stand him getting calls though it makes sense that you notice when he does get them more than when he doesn't. There are plenty of big stars in the NBA who get more calls than IT.

Story of their season. They are one player away from really setting themselves apart from the teams below them. Hopefully it changes next year.


And no I don't consider CLE to really be a team below them. They threw the 1 seed away.

Lol I'm not arguing any of that, I'm talking about just tonight. It has nothing to do with him being or not being a star or what any other player gets or doesn't get.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say at the moment he probably doesn't give a **** what a keyboard warrior thinks of his team right now.

I didn't notice it tonight. So I'll just disagree. Seemed par for the course to me.
