I didn't get to see any of the game that the REFS screwed us with, but I know early in the 4th the Cavs had a bunch of scrubs + Kyrie and the Celtics made no head way. Mostly because Tyler Zeller sucks.

I think we would have lost this game anyway, bad refs or not.  We played a terrible 2nd quarter and it was downhill from there.  I'm more upset with the general state of NBA officiating and the obvious bias for certain players.

Ehh, I don't know if you can really say that, though. The refs were too influential in the third, and other than hitting shots, I didn't really see them ramp up their defense at all. We regularly got into the lane and up to the hoop, but we just couldn't buy a call. It'd been a 12 minute game if we would've got a fair whistle in the third quarter.

The Celtics have a the best chance to win when the game is played quickly. The refs took total control of the game, and slowed it to a crawl.

The Celtics need to be able to play successfully while being "big" in the half court to move this team forward.

Fools gold in the first quarter, and the refs slowed the game down to nothing.

Maybe fools gold, but the Cs were playing the way they want to play.  That's why they were up.  They just didn't shoot well in the 2nd quarter and Kyrie did.

The second half was murdered by horrendous officiating.  There is little you can do to beat a team on the road when that happens.

Silver lining? Isaiah wasn't as bad as he normally is vs Cleveland. Hopefully he's figured them out
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about
