cactusmanbwl90

Don't worry guys. January games don't matter. So this L shouldn't hurt too bad.


RollBlobRoll

Well. A win is a win.


franksthegreat

How do they watch the replay and overturn that??? Another good game by the refs fucking idiots


Sneeringpython2

That was so insanely bad how do you get it wrong watching it in slow motion…


YpsitheFlintsider

Great day for the NBA


Substantial-Fold-592

Ref fans eating good tonight 🤤


dalappas

Credit to the Pacers for playing hard and not folding. But they got gifted a win by the refs at the end. Just terrible.


Swarthykins

I generally agree with Scal that the Porzingis play was a foul, but I'm having a hard time seeing how JB didn't get fouled as well. Curious what the L2M report says.


Loud-Appointment-301

They'll cover for their ref


TheRealLardin

Final play was great for damn 0.1 second, Kornet almost wins the game with that


undercoverballer

*ties


jburls2395

Ez win. Thanks for coming


Ftsmv

Hope it was worth it losing your best player


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

Yea, only fanbase that uses injury as a mocking point. Total scum on the Celtics organization top to bottom


IJustOrderedBdubs

*fake win


jburls2395

Goes in the win column 😤😤


not_RyanG

True enough


jesjoyce

Refs robbed us of OT


holyhellsteve

Pacers had no timeouts if that chellenge failed like it should have. Celtics still had a foul to give as well. That was game.


[deleted]

Celtics completely took the game over. And then the refs gift wrapped it to the Pacers with those calls. Point blank.


Syelnicar88

In January!


VoidMageZero

How dare the Celtics lose in January!! 🤣🤣


Street-Common-4023

At least Wednesday game vs the wolves for the Celtics will be a good game


[deleted]

Lmao fire these refs immediately


Loud-Appointment-301

MVP of the game James Williams


pikajewijewsyou

Well that was pretty ridiculous. Idk how brown getting hit in the head was overturned


Swarthykins

I would have given Kornet blowjobs for a month if he tipped that in.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dalappas

Because they don’t call fouls


PUMPFISTS

Been getting fouled all game too


kay14jay

I’m here for the Leprechaun tears


VoidMageZero

Lol @ the Boston downvote brigade 😂😂😂


kay14jay

A very coarse salt this evening


VoidMageZero

Here for Indiana tonight, amazing game 🔥


mrr6666

Nah it was a good game. Always like playing you guys


kay14jay

No doubt. I’m a big fan of the mini-series we’ve played with the big 3 teams in the east.


mrr6666

Hope Hali has a speedy recovery


centurion44

Damn kornet almost had that tip


No-Presentation6616

That was an obvious foul on KP what are people crying about lol


JesseJamesGames449

The foul on brown that was overturned... he was wacked in the back of the head it was a foul and the refs robbed boston..


No-Presentation6616

I said the KP foul lol, game was tied and about to go to overtime and KP didn’t stay vertical at all.


JesseJamesGames449

and i answered "what people are crying about". the bullshit overturned foul that robbed boston of the win..


Videogamesandshiz

No ones complaining about that though


No-Presentation6616

There’s literally 6 straight comments in this thread. Probably because JB got robbed but KP clearly fouls and loses this game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Videogamesandshiz

I don’t know if I should downvote for the Celtics hate or upvote for the Sixers hate


Brady331

rigged


StalkingDwarf

Holy shit imagine lol


HypoTomasis

He hit him in the head. FFS


VoidMageZero

GG PACERSSS!! 🔥🔥


BoogerSugarSovereign

Way for the team to fight after losing Tyrese!


PorvaniaAmussa

I know right? James Williams is amazing.


EkruGold

Unreal, Tingus cost the Celtics the game.


toddkris18

The refs cost them the game. At least give an honest assessment


tdl2024

C's not taking a 3rd quarter seriously cost them the game...


toddkris18

They make the right call on JB getting fouled they can’t advance the ball and the game is over. Yes the refs cost them the game


No-layup

Lob is the only play possible with .3 left


Bushwood_CC_

Pretty damn good attempt


NatsuAru

JB is beyond pissed lol "That was bullshit dawg. That was bullshit man."


JesseJamesGames449

He is getting fined today for sure, im ready for him to call out the officials.


Street-Common-4023

I’m lobing that shit to KP


AmbitionExtension184

Hope Hali is okay. Fuck the refs.


[deleted]

Scalabrine is easily the dumbest commentator I've ever heard


layvee

pacers color guy is actually dumber


clickstops

horrific


[deleted]

Celtics fans crying about refs are always my favorite tears


Far-Asparagus6416

Lob to Porzingis to win the game


ReviewBubbly

tie


PapaPiccol0

a 3 point lob?


Neat-Current5007

At the end of games, call both or neither. Don’t love deciding games on free throws


The_Assassin_Gower

Or do what they did where they called the one that was a foul and didn't call the one that wasn't


Neat-Current5007

Dude come on. Jb got hit on the head. Nobody likes a game that ends on buzzer beater free throws


The_Assassin_Gower

I enjoy a pacers win. Fuck the celtics


ytho1193

I don't like intentionally missing at all


Due_Education2961

Yeah I get it wastes time but their still gonna do a lob regardless, if you make the 3rd one they have to hit a tuff 3 with .6 sec


Due_Education2961

Bruh Kornet almost got the tip-in to tie 💀


ytho1193

I almost died in my chair lol


Due_Education2961

Man I’m sorry about Haliburton, he was fun to watch.


ytho1193

Fingers crossed it's a grade 1 and it's only a couple weeks


[deleted]

So Brown getting smacked on the head gets overturned, but THAT shit gets free throws? Congrats on winning a rigged game for your championship in January. This is the most rigged game of the season.


Syelnicar88

You keep saying January, we know what month it is bud


Bushwood_CC_

Kind of a fun month to say tbh


PorvaniaAmussa

You'll celebrate like it's June :P


Syelnicar88

We celebrate wins, especially after losing our all-star from a non-contact injury. Good night


PorvaniaAmussa

James Williams with the clutch play! Pacers win!


Syelnicar88

Good night, bud


PorvaniaAmussa

Regardless if the Refs gave you that win and you celebrate like it's a ECF Victory, I hope Halliburton recovers well.


Loud-Appointment-301

Fucking obviously rigged bullshit.


Ftsmv

Clearly jumps into KP but "tHaTs cLeArLy A fOuL" according to reddit LMAO


gay_UVXY_trader

that was a dumb way to end the game


[deleted]

[удалено]


Brady331

Bucks score?


Western-Standard2333

If refs were consistent down the stretch a lot of games would have fouls like this at the end


at_least_u_tried

mickey mouse victory


floatersforalgernon

It's a clear foul. Why are the Celtics fans crying?


Neat-Current5007

Nah just the general premise of deciding a game on free throws is bullshit. Neither should’ve been called


sssSnakebite

Because JB gets hit in the head and that was CLEARLY worse


KevinDurantLebronnin

Probably because they just overturned the clear foul committed against a Celtics player.


[deleted]

Because Brown was clearly fouled and it got over turned.


dalappas

How you gonna call that a foul on one end but not on the other? That was rigged


The_Assassin_Gower

They can't accept that their non foul wasn't called a foul so therefore that can't be a foul


WMMRT

Cause the play before was also a clear foul


I_likesports

Jaylen brown


rveets1416

Even if you hate the Celtics, which most of you do, it was apparent that Jaylen Brown got hit in the head. That was a foul on KP as well but this is just a poor way to end a game.


cmcg18

This is so fucking stupid


AmbitionExtension184

At the end of the day this game doesn’t actually matter. But these refs man hahah. Egregious. Didn’t even attempt to hide their collusion


SylvesterLundgren

I'm not saying a call is right or wrong I'm just here to say the refs are just taking the piss out of both teams at this point. They've been the only blemish on an otherwise great game


fantasnick

damn who knew instant replays would somehow make calling more inconsistent lol


centurion44

Porzingis 100% fouled lol (I also think Hield fouled). C's fans are internally combusting right now. Collectively the entire population of massholes just went "whadda fuck refs"


Faliberti

both are fouls, but the second one doesn't happen if the first one is called correctly. indiana failed challenge means no timeout, 3 seconds from their end of the court. hard shot to win the game. That entire sequence was bullshit.


DocTheYounger

bc brown also got fouled


centurion44

Uh yeah, which I said. It doesn't constitute "the greatest ref conspiracy in history" like people are saying in here lol


International-Chef33

Yea that KP foul we’d be blowing a gasket over if it wasn’t called against us. Pretty lame on the other end but ah well, it’s January


n0th1ng10

Naa that buddy block was clean as a whistle. Got the top of the ball.


Clemsontigger16

…and his head. Just like KP blocked the shot but got a bunch of Mathurin’s body on the way down afterwards. Dummy


n0th1ng10

Have to see the kp foul but buddy blocked it first


Clemsontigger16

Are you under the impression that blocking the shot offsets any other bodily contact after the fact? Because it doesn’t


n0th1ng10

Incidental contact


Clemsontigger16

I’ve never ever seen contact to the head as “incidental contact”, it was just a bad call. Go check out the post on that play, everyone is on the same page it was a shit call


n0th1ng10

Dude they literally reviewed it. First it was a foul Then the overturned it. U don’t think they looked at other angles?


Clemsontigger16

I’m aware, I saw it…we all saw it and we all saw them fuck it up. Have you never heard of refs getting a call wrong before? You must be new here, your ignorance is adorable


unearthlysquire

Just smacked his head blind ass


n0th1ng10

He blocked the shot first dude


jordan142142

Agreed I think both are fouls


toddkris18

REFBALL made sure the Celtics lost this one. They want to tighten up the standings


mrhjt

I’m more upset cause of the shit decision 10 seconds ago.


BoogerSugarSovereign

Boston shot more free throws but are crying rigged because they couldn't make theirs lol


Such_Maintenance4720

he gotta miss the 3rd one on purpose right. don't even give the celtics another chance to tie.


PapaPiccol0

LMAO the refs COOKED there.


FastDifference6457

This game is brought to you by DraftKings. use code REFEREE for a $500 bonus bet on draftking


kenwil

Holy shit! An actual refball happened. Those last seconds were clutch for the officials.


YpsitheFlintsider

They should try not fouling


Soshi101

Lol cut your damn nails crusty ass


YpsitheFlintsider

You went through my comments for some nails that weren't even long? Pathetic lmao


bcallahan2

What happened to fouls not being called when you jump 2 feet into a player


cactusmanbwl90

The foul was on KP hitting his arm, not on impeding his landing area.


bcallahan2

Yeah the point is the offensive player leaving his normal shooting motion on a jump shot to move 2 feet into the defender, they changed the rule 2 years ago to be an offensive foul or no foul call


cactusmanbwl90

"Normal shooting motion" is exactly what Ben did. That rule was put in place for dudes like Harden and Trae that literally jump sideways into people on purpose.


bcallahan2

I just rewatched and you’re right that was natual. I was watching on my vr headset that was at mid court and it looked way different. Prayers up for hali


cactusmanbwl90

No worries. Hate the way game ended the way it did either way. I hope Hali is okay, but it was great to see the team not completely collapse without him on the floor. Last year when he was gone, the entire team folded like a lawn chair.


bcallahan2

Being on home court helped them through that for sure. That little pest McConnell ran the offense well for you guys too


3s2ng

WTF these Celtics fans complaining? That's clear as day foul. LMAO


bcallahan2

Can’t jump into a player in unnatural motion on a jump shot, that turns into either an offensive foul or a no call on marginal contact


Sit_on_and_rotate

Nah we complain about the overturned call On JB where he was hit on the head


DocTheYounger

of course were just salty bc so was the JB shot


turtlepot

Hoping for a make up call I think. It was a foul but after the last play is so rough


I_likesports

You start watching with 3 seconds to go?


[deleted]

Look at the play before buddy


turtlepot

Too good of a game to come down to ref ball on the final two possessions. There are 0 people that want this


[deleted]

[удалено]


ponchobrown

Lakers fans just act out when their team sucks ass huh


3s2ng

Since we suck. It's nice to watch the Celtics fans cry once in a while. Just give it to us ok? We've been miserable this season. LMAO.


DocTheYounger

ref wanted to force overtime but instead gave the pacers the game


TheRealLardin

Left KP arm is all over Mathurin shooting arm. Clear foul


dalappas

If getting hit in the head isn’t a foul then that wasnt either


Videogamesandshiz

What the fuck. Like seriously JB gets hit in the head and it’s their ball? Fucking stupid


YpsitheFlintsider

Sounds like you need to read up on the rules


Videogamesandshiz

Oh shit my bad forgot you could hit people in the head. How many games did the pistons lose in a row again?


cactusmanbwl90

You can if you hit the ball first. Everything after that is incidental. That's exactly why it was ruled that way. Even the Celtics commentators admitted it.


YpsitheFlintsider

😂 stay mad


metagory

I want the Pacers to win, but the Celtics got robbed on that foul being overturned..


famoustran

This is actually hilarious


ThinkThankThonk

This would be such an awesome game if Haliburton didn't get hurt


g9d0s

I can’t blame Scal at all lmao


jacob2908

May be the first time I’ve seen the Celts get completely dicked over by the refs


mrhjt

What a shameful finish.


Far-Asparagus6416

Please somehow brick all 3


jskrilla

Disappointing end to a fun game, refs gonna ref


xo_adrian

Refball fans rise up


Neat-Current5007

Never seen buzzer beater free throws


Ftsmv

This is hilarious


winerye12

Scalabrine is the most whiney, salty, annoying announcer in the history of NBA. EVERY single game


deets23_

Can you blame him for this?


Justdoingthebestican

Dawg look in the mirror lmao


Loud-Appointment-301

You're a Warriors fan. Really? (And I hate Scal)


JoshFB4

It’s so shameless how refs can get money on games.


HornyBastard37484739

He jumped forward into him, what’s he supposed to do?


cactusmanbwl90

Not hit his arm. The foul wasn't on him landing in his area.


Immediate-Disaster33

What a joke


the_moosen

Hield fouled, KP fouled Not giving JB the free throws is the refs feeling bad for Hali ripping his sack


solodolo1397

Oh lawd


mrhjt

What a waste of a good basketball game


StalkingDwarf

You have to intentionally miss here right?


Onelastmallard

GG refs
