refs are out of control

Haberstroh is on it

There was a whopping 10 travel calls in the GSW-DAL game last night. 6 in NYK-DET and another 3 in LAC-POR.

That's 6.3 per game. 5x last season's average, 4x this October's average.

A massive crackdown on travels all across the NBA ... 👁️🪬👁️ https://t.co/oXIZTeUmWj

luka doing the payola signal to the refs again

Textbook charge, yet Luka appears to be insinuating the refs are getting money to make calls against the home team pic.twitter.com/g6TPBm56F0

the game might ever end. would probably be like 100+ calls per game

my god the british royals are at the celtics game who let this happen

i invited them sorry

lol hoping for a sideline scramble for a loose ball that just takes that row out

this is against the celtics roots (irish)

this is really sad to me and the bulls season and future outlook is pretty f'd

Billy Donovan on Lonzo Ball’s recovery ahead of today’s game: “It’s been really slow.”

Lonzo is not running, jumping or cutting and Billy says he’s not “anywhere close” to returning to contact. Billy adds that he “still has pain” although there have been improvements.

yeah not great

yeah bulls have fully fizzled out with this iteration of the team, they need to rebuild again

didnt realize vooch is expiring. yikes are they gonna pay him?

caruso is probably the most valuable trade asset they have right now

curséd franchise since 98 really, deal with the devil (Michael Jordan)

haslem is playing lol

remember when they threw him an alley-oop last season? i think about that from time to time

the prince probably requested him

id rather like to see a bit of udonis haslem if its not too much trouble

its not that the celtics are a bad defensive team quite the opposite actually but they do refuse to play it its beneath them

tatum 25 points less than half through the 2nd quarter

loool salute

They tried showing the royals on the jumbotron with a big announcement and security literally stepped in front of the camera while people booed

sorry about ol' lizzie luvs

this game streaky as hell. c’s have tightened up the d but it still looks like bam is having his way with horford tbh

you think weve freakin forgotten about paul revere, sam adams and so forth

They show the Prince and Princess on the JumboTron and "USA!" chants come from the crowd. #Celtics #Heat

Tatum dropped 28 points on the Heat in the first half 🔥 pic.twitter.com/Y8u5dqNHzy

pretty good game, many points

lmao everyone hates them

Joe Mazzulla asked if he got to meet with the royal family: "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? I’m only familiar with one royal family. I don’t know too much about them. But hopefully, they’re Celtics fans."

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) December 1, 2022

mazzulla is low-key hilarious

Y’all Booker 51 through 3

But they’re up 25 so might not play any more

jamal murray seems to be turning a corner, you love to see it

only one game tonight, we are all contractually obligated to watch it

what a horrific game lol

def some weird scheduling this season so far

can i just say bam adebayo is so fucking good

wolves showed some heart last night for once, ant really went off in the 4th quarter. really chippy, brooks and ja got kicked out.

they were playing a lot more pick and roll, and more of the "high wall" defense they played last year instead of the drop they've been mostly using. felt more coherent on both sides of the game.

i feel like they are going to find out that lo and behold all the haters were right and their 2 max big men are going to have to be staggered more.

though this may be good, so far they haven't figured out how the team should run with KAT alone, Rudy alone, or Rudy and KAT together, if this is an opportunity to figure out at least the Rudy alone part that would be progress.

wtf is this shit

The Heat and Celtics both got delay of game warnings before the opening tip, so Miami getting one just now results in a tech and gives Boston a 2-point lead.

refs are making themselves the stars tonight, furthering their anti traveling agenda

throw the bums out

Nets are destroying the Raptors

25 fouls called in just under 24 minutes of basketball...

— Abby Chin (@tvabby) December 3, 2022

why are the refs trying to fuck up this game for me

anthony davis is good again

Bucks Lakers is massively entertaining. So good to have Khris back. A little defense would be nice though

Jimmy is a cool player imo

defense more like fun police
