Philadelphia 76ers v. Boston Celtics: KG Illegal Screen
End of game situation with about 10 seconds...Michael Smith, at the slot, calls an illegal screen on Kevin Garnett. Guess he didn't get the memo that stars aren't suppose to have calls go against them at the end of games.

Does this need blue font?
Yep the NBA is decided by Stern before the games are played.

I didn't see the game - I was watching Rangers/Devils - but I have no problem with the call. However...can someone who did watch the game tell me whether there were similar plays that weren't called? Not that it would change whether this was a foul but it would bring up a question regarding consistency.

Definitely an illegal screen, and I look forward to NBE officials consistently calling this and other fouls in other games. Too much to ask for?
My impression was that there were more offensive fouls called in this game relative to other NBE contests. |

It looked more like Rob Gronkowski chipping a defensive end on his way to Tom Brady...wait...wrong venue.
I'm a Celts fan, but come on KG...you might get away with that somewhere on the court OTHER THAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF AN OFFICIAL. As a wise veteran, you'd think he'd know how to camoflage that move a little better.

Actually, you're correct. KG looked like a pulling guard on the play.

I guess the officials did not allow the players to decide the game.
