That's going to be a foul on Holiday but since they can't call a foul on a review, it will be Boston ball.
Second time this idiotic replay rule gives the ball to the wrong team.

Why even have a review system if you're not allowed to make the right call.

Mavs need to start using their hands on defense to prevent all these blow-bys. The Celtics have done it constantly all series. If they're not going to call it, you have to adjust.

Holiday fouled. Oh well. Let's compare that to the push offs that Luka does every time down the floor

Commits offensive foul, then another offensive foul. Screams at ref for not giving him foul shots.

Dude, if you want them to call every foul, you are fouling out real quick.

Refs could at least advantage the Mavs.

Obvious foul from Holiday not called.

The replay system is so dumb in this league. Luka got fouled but the ball went off him. It will be Celtics ball

I usually mute everything, but I just realized I forgot and that Breen, Doris, and JJ have been just fine.

Nice!

Dallas is screwed, perhaps buyers remorse extending Kidd before this series

JJ should have never been promoted. He should have had to stay with RJ and Ruoco. He has no chemistry with Doris and there is too much of an age gap as far as current NBA knowledge is concerned.

Can’t think of anything worse than JJ right now. WTF is he going on about talking about silly stats that nobody cares about.

Doubt it. Marc Davis' reffing crew is very good to the away team usually.

Commits offensive foul? He is fouled on almost every drive.

Luka stop faking the turnaround and then looking for contact after it all the celtics are staying down on it, just shoot the turnaround.

Kyrie immediately doing the review/challenge play gesture when he knew he fouled McDaniels pissed me off. So this is justice in some sense.
