NBA going to hand out a few fines. Gentrys ref rant is going to see him get one too.
But it seems like a particularly bad year for ref'ing this year. Really egregious shit is getting through.

I believe Ray to be honest. Doc is a known clown over the Tim Duncan free agency, and Rondo is totally the type of dude who would take credit for that season.
In "From the Outside: My Journey through Life and the Game I Love," which will be published March 27, Allen, who retired from the NBA in 2014, writes that Chris Paul would have been a Celtic in 2011, but coach Doc Rivers wouldn't send Rondo to New Orleans because of Rivers' friendship with then-Pelicans coach Monty Williams.
"He just wants attention," Rondo told The Boston Globe. "I need actually some sales from [the book], only [publicity] it's been getting is from my name. I need some percentage or something. His people contact my people or something. The only pub I've been hearing about is when he mentions my name."
During the lockout in 2011-12, there were reports Rondo would be traded to New Orleans for Paul. The deal fell through, according to reports, because Paul would not commit to signing with Boston when he became a free agent the following summer.
Allen, however, writes that the deal fell through because "in the end, Doc decided he couldn't do that to their coach, Monty Williams. Doc was a mentor to Monty, having coached him in Orlando."
The stories in the book are set against the backdrop of a notoriously poor relationship between Allen and Rondo.
In another story, Allen writes that Rondo told Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce that Rondo carried them to the 2008 NBA title during his second season in the NBA.
Things between Allen and his teammates deteriorated further when Allen decided to sign with the Miami Heat after the 2011-12 season.

By Randolph Freelander Go To PostNo doubt that CP3 deserved it, though.
CP3 is a dirty shit, but nothing there warrants shoving him.
Good for green.
Harden is hurt, his right hand. He banged it on Teagues knee. He's refusing to dribble or pass with it, and Minnesota is turning it into TOs.

By blackace Go To PostI don't understand how Doc and TD had anything to do with it lol… Doc couldn't make them calls that's on Danny to pull the trigger or not…GM's will often check with the coach about trades
By diehard Go To PostGM's will often check with the coach about tradesSure... but what is more likely the Celtics didn't trade for CP3 because he wouldn't sign a new contract or that Doc talked Danny out of a trade because he didn't want to do Monty dirty?
By blackace Go To PostSure… but what is more likely the Celtics didn't trade for CP3 because he wouldn't sign a new contract or that Doc talked Danny out of a trade because he didn't want to do Monty dirty?Occam's razor tells me it's the former. The latter is funner though.
This defense by Nurk has been fucking phenomenal all year, but geez his defensive instincts are so fucking good.
Chris Paul was "pushed down." That little dick took a flop dive on a little shove and starts something up in the process. It'll be a good day for the NBA when we don't have to have CP3 and his garbage antics going on anymore.
Gentry was right too. Houston is a weepy scab on the game.

That's it?
Ty Lue apparently will be out for a while
From Tyronn Lue:
"After many conversations with our doctors and Koby and much thought given to what is best for the team and my health, I need to step back from coaching for the time being and focus on trying to establish a stronger and healthier foundation from which to coach for the rest of the season.
I have had chest pains and other troubling symptoms, compounded by a loss of sleep, throughout the year. Despite a battery of tests, there have been no conclusions as to what the exact issue is.
While I have tried to work through it, the last thing I want is for it to affect the team. I am going to use this time to focus on a prescribed routine and medication, which has previously been difficult to start in the midst of a season. My goal is to come out of it a stronger and healthier version of myself so I can continue to lead this team to the Championship we are all working towards.
I greatly appreciate Dan Gilbert, Koby Altman, our medical team and the organization's support throughout."
By Smokey Go To PostOn the xm NBA shoe people talking about refs being anti Canada because reasons lulFollow the money, Smokey. Follow the money.
LFK
Sounds like Ty Lue might be dealing with anxiety and maybe some anxiety/panic attacks causing his chest pains.
Health first always.

Who knew running 4 combo guards and a center who weighs all of 230 lbs could make a team a joke defensively. And yes, I realize that Allen's 109 drtg is the best in our rotation.
Also Clarkson was responding to a question about DJ Montage’s beliefs since he doesn’t need believe in dinosaurs or Elvis. Larry Nance Jr was the only one who smartly didn’t say a word the whole time lol.
