Horford actually getting called for his shoves is shocking

Cannot allow the Celtics multiple possessions. Rebounding is key to winning!

I'm glad somebody said something. It's unreasonable.


I don't mind it. Teams get to wear their team colours at home this way.

Boston rushing these 3’s like they’re down with 2 minutes left in the game or something. Relax!

Refs got paid by the Celtics. Too many phantom fouls that were not called.

Do all refs hate KAT? He's getting fouled every single play in the paint and they continue to swallow their whistles

The Celtics are so much more dangerous when they keep attacking the basket and not always just settle for threes. And much more watchable.

This is the playoffs....very hard to live at the line. even if those are legit fouls, Towns has to stop playing for the whistle. The last 2 possessions, he drove in and threw up wild shots hoping to get to the line. That doesnt work in the post season. He's gotta play to score
