You said it, they are missing a lot of calls, but he only has one challenge. He really has to pick his spot.
18 freakin turnovers. And missed free throws are killing this team. What else is new. it's not the refs. They don't deserve to win. they have been playing over their heads all year.

The refs aren't why we're losing, but that doesn't mean the refs haven't sucked. They absolutely have.
They always suck. that's nothing new.

I never said they were the reason, but they were most definitely a factor. T'ing up a coach in the first quarter, are you kidding me? They seemed to have an agenda tonight and showed their colors early.

The Celtics deserve to lose this one for sure. Terrible, undisciplined.

They sucked tonight more than usual.

I'm not disagreeing with you that they sucked and the Celtics were on the wrong end of it.
It's a miracle they got this far. Their offense is totally dysfunctional. It's embarrassing.

1. I don't think I have ever seen a professional basketball team miss so many free throws,
2. I don't think I have ever seen a professional basketball team miss so many short bank shots.
3. I don't think I have ever seen a professional basketball team make so many turnovers.
In spite of all that, that was an impressive 3rd quarter comeback.
It's going 7.

We can hope.
I coached basketball for thirty five years. I had rules that I always put in place for teams from elementary school through high school.
1. Do not dribble the ball in the fore court. Pass it.
2. Never take you eyes off the ball at any time.
3. Always expect that the next pass is to you.
4. Never stop moving.
5. Practice at least 200 free throws every week. You never get a second chance for a missed one.
6. Don't listen to anyone else but ME when you're on the court. Easiest way to sit on the bench is to look into the stands.
Celts violated all of them last night.
Officials were terrible. Game 5 is not the time to start ignoring the rulebook. Then again, the media has decided that Steph Curry has ascended to the top of the mountain and should be proclaimed as the greatest of all time and the officials are lemmings.

Back to Boston and no better animal than a cornered Boston team. I expect them to make a statement in game 6 with a thumping win.
It's a hugely pressured scenario. Lose and they're out and they will carry cries of chokers and a whole load of negative jibes thrown at them. and they'll know this. But this is where the culture of the sporting success in Boston can help. Circle the wagons and hit them in the mouth.

Marcus Smart needs to check himself.
That being said, Poole definitely flopped on that stupid "face rake" call. He knew Smart was amped, as did the refs.
This Warrior team flops so much. It's gross.
Couldn't get to sleep, so I got up and watched the 2nd half. Here's the summary. Run down shoot a 3. Run down shoot a 3. Get the ball inside, pass it out shoot a 3.
Not exactly good basketball in my opinion.

So frustrating to watch at times because they are so much better than how they played last night.
The Celtics didn't follow their pattern! They should've won on the road. Yeesh.
Let's hope they can quit the mistakes in Game 6. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
