This Celtics loss against the Cavs is not on any player, but what about the Refs? This was a League Pass game--no one watching!--Cavs? In Boston? No ESPN or TNT commentary? Hmmm, free-for-all for the Refs. They didn't even consult each other on their terrible calls! Yikes. Not once! Not every call was wrong, we had silly TOs and fouls but Q4 7:55 left we were over the limit!! Not one call on the Cavs at that point! Huh?
How about when LeBaby elbowed Green, you know where, took three steps…all night long. Cannot call fouls on LeBaby in the first first half, at least. Same with Kyrie and Love, if only so they don’t start arguing with each other ;)
Plus, Rondo may be the best playmaker, maybe, but let’s remember that during games he does it by running the clock down to 11 or 9 seconds—MORE than was left in the game last night. OBVIOUSLY you want to get that ball to your most ATHLETIC or AGGRESSIVE guys, think GREEN OR SULLY OR AB…or Someone bold enough to charge to the hoop and at least get fouled!
We were there!! The crowd went nuts over several calls. Brad pretty much maintained his calm demeanor—surprise. A few times he sort of argued. He needs to go nuts, get T’d up, show the kids some emotion, let them follow his lead. If he’s calm throughout the game, the kids start to hang their heads, lose focus, NOT get angry. Even putting Wallace in early Q4 to be mad at the calls and get the kids riled up would have been better. Walter McCarty could make some noise! Someone so the kids know someone has their back(s)!
The air went out of the building when Rondo got that ball at the end, like collectively we knew: he would dance around dribbling, wouldn’t look for Green, et al….Did think he would get a shot off but Marion was on him! Vet! He’s not going to foul the dribbling Rondo. Ugh. Heartbreak on Causeway Street!
