2024-2025 Regular Season Game 31: Boston Celtics (22-6) at Orlando Magic (18-12) - 7pm

Teams hate to play us because we guard closely and try to deny passes for the entire game. Fans see a team not giving their players space to operate as fouls. Queen has given us another player the last 2 games who guards his man closely.

As a fan, I hate when teams guard us like that.

I think we are the only team in the league that can do it for sustained stretches or the entire game. Some teams can only do it occasionally for a few minutes. It must drive opponents crazy.

I remember hating Avery Bradley because he'd do it for the entire game, but that was only one player, not the whole team.

That Tristan three to ice it was so beautiful

What's this I hear -okay, mostly reading about it- about Celtics players (J.Brown), media and fans whining about foul calls?

edit: By the way, shoutout to Tristan for a very solid box-out on Zingus on that last three pointer by Brown! It won't show up in the box score like his scoring, nor get as much attention as the big three-pointer he made down the stretch, but he really made it easy for Wendell to grab that board. The ball actually came down in an area that Kristaps was lurking awfully close to near the right baseline.

Yea he’s not getting his super star whistle. Said he was t going to talk about it when the reporter asked him but then he went on for 3 minutes about the refs.

Anthony Edwards had a really good interview a few days ago someone posted. He basically said he’s getting punished because he’s stronger and better than the defender and refs are calling him for fouls or not calling the defensive fouls. The NBA really does have a refereeing problem. There just does not seem to be enough consistency across the board. I’ve always hated the fact basketball is a sport that your players can be disqualified from the game by committing fouls. That rule needs to go away. I say instead of the sixth foul meaning you’re disqualified maybe a player that’s committed six or more fouls now it’s three free throws no matter what.
