Celtics fans need to chill with whining about the refs. These aren't bogus calls.

Referees shutting down game 3 and 4 for the King. Foul trouble at mid quarter last 7 quarters.

Sick of this contact-sensitive whistlefest. I don't even care who the beneficiary or victim of the officiating is; I'm just tired of the plodding pace of the game. It's quite the ordeal to watch when there are dead balls on almost every possession.

Yeah, and that wasn't blatant at all. That was the most subtle "kick" I've seen in my entire life.

I don't think it's about intent, but about the action itself, which the league is trying to curb. Same with the whole planting your foot into a player's landing space. You don't mean to injure, but it's the action itself, not it's intention, that is the foul.

He didn’t kick his leg at all though.

It's not an intent of kicking out at a player, but even if in the natural motion his leg trips up a defender, it's a foul, not often called, which I think makes for more controversy, but I guess in this instance they went by the letter of the law, and because Love fell (not being able to land after he tried contesting the shot), it had the impact that I think the league wants to see less of.

It's funny we had a stretch of bad calls against the Cavs and the usual suspects had nothing to say about the refs, now they're all back when a call goes the Cavs' way

Haven't the Celtics been in the bonus the last 2 quarters before the Cavs?

There was no kick out. Legs elevated to take the shot like any jump shot. Love tripped into Morris' legs and stretched Morris' legs out, which made it seem like a kick out, which is not. All you need to look at is at the point of contact.

I guess what the refs saw in real time and what I saw in slo-mo disagree with your assessment. How can Love trip into Morris's legs if they're not beyond him? His foot tripped Love's, that's what they called. Perhaps it's a judgement as to how far the leg was out, but at this point, it's an argument of whether one is a metre or five metres off a cliff. Either way, you're falling.

Its called stepping into your shot. You're telling me there is no forward motion on anyone's jump shot? Guess you never seen what a real leg kick is if this is your definition of a leg kick.

I can't believe Celtics fan are actually complaining about the refs. This is like bizarro world...

Sticking together doesn't negate the fact he's been garbage tonight.

That's exactly when you stick together is when someone is down.

Otherwise lets hope the rest of his teammates call him out publicly for being the reason why they lost......

You're aware I'm not one of his teammates, right?

Its hard to tell when blame is being deflected......

How many free throws has there been this quarter for both teams

Man, the refs only change calls when LeBron complains!!!!!!

...wait

I'm surprised TT has given the Cavs a backbone. They look a lot better with someone who will go hard in the paint.

Thompson has way more of an impact than Love.

It shouldn't be hard at all. I'm posting here during the game, right?

I'm surprised Boston is only down by 8 and I'm sure the refs are too.
