Refs had nothing to do with that.
The only call of the entire game that genuinely bothered me was the missed goaltending. The rest was just inconsistent reffing, that wasn’t slanted in either teams favor.
The ref stuff just feels lazy to me.
You can't play like that and then blame the refs. They bullied us and shut us down.
Refs help decide maybe 1-2% of games at most IMO, and half are in your own team's favor.
All I know is that when I played and opponents were crying about "refs" (as opposed to a single call), I knew they were already dead. It's looking for a way out.
When I played an the opponent was crying/blaming the refs, they were right most of the time
Yes, mentally they checked out, but that does not contradict the fact that they were right with their claims.
Regarding this game.. No, the refs were not responsible for the loss.
They allowed both sided to play very aggressive.
To be frank, Bucks played on the verge of being violent/dirty. They guarded using their hands as much as their feet.
Our players didn't cross that line, and I don't want them too.
On basketball forums in Israel, I can tell you that many laughed about Giannis passing the ball to himself using the basket and dunking it.
He clearly traveled there, leaving his pivot leg.
Those are not celtics fans by the way. Far from it.
