Reffing doesn't seem like an issue thus far.

If your team is losing, it's always the refs.

I honestly haven’t noticed it but everyone is commenting on it. The difference is Zinger whose unstoppable it appears

With KP in the lineup the Celtics look unreal. He's playing great tonight

Luka looks fat and slow. He can't get away with the same (lack of) level of effort he did against Minny.

Yeah but butler was out, Mitchell was out, etc

Yeah but if all those guys are healthy and the Celtics add a healthy Porzingis, they will destroy every team like they have all season. He’s a game changer for the Celtics

Celtics also playing much smarter, so they should be up, but refs have probably cost them 4 points here.
