The reffing in this game was complete bullsh*t

[DavidSomerset]

We got fouled SO many times and didn't have it called...They have to foul us because we are so much more athletic than them.

We better get those calls at home.

The only thing I didn't really agree with was Smith getting a tech, compared to Garnett basically shouting at the ref and receiving nothing.

I do want to give Stern et al the benefit of the doubt, but it does seem like most of the superstar players are treated differently.

d*ck Bavetta. Theres your problem with NBA referring right there.

[thefloydian]

Yeah. I remember a few BS charges as well as the laughable lane violation and moving screen.

The flagrant foul was also a joke.

That 2nd foul call on JJ was horrible. It was a 100% flop by Poe. As for Bavetta, he doesnt belong in the league. Violet Palmer is a better ref than he is.

well i think that 90% of the fouls called could have been called better by a mentally retarded beaver thats been on too much pcp (angel dust). all the offical that don't call the game fairly need to be tied down on a bowling lane legs open and the guy they screwed over needs to find the biggest ball they can roll and hit a 7 10 split. seriously a druken monkey can make better calls than that

Well the only one that really gave me a beef was the flagant call on Horford. Don't see how that was remotedly flagrant. Someone might have to look up the rule and explain it to me.

Then explain how Horford's foul was different from five others every night that aren't called flagrants.

Hell yeah, Posey's 44 flops during the game didn't help either. I hate flopping (you included Zaza)

It never ceases to amaze me the difference in officiating for home and away games. It really is night and day, the calls that are made in Atlanta compared to Boston.
