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. ;)

Kenny "that's not a foul, because when he set the screen, his feet were set."

Absolutely idiotic

Does this need blue font?
 

Yep the NBA is decided by Stern before the games are played. ;)

Peace

Illegal screen and holding, both in the same play.

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

"It's like rolling through a stop sign. You don't usually get a ticket for that."

Kenny Smith

"Credit that call to coach Collins, who has been working the refs......"

Chris Webber

"Kevin was not the only one moving in picks, but he was the only one that got called......"

Doc Rivers

"I thought in that situation you let the players decide the game."

Kevin Garnett


:rolleyes:

Was there a local broadcast?
 

I can't imagine how Heinsohn sounded on that one. I can't imagine working in New England when they learn the rules from that clown.

I love the high overhead look.

Agree!
 

Official was right there with eyes on target. Good call.

Had a mom (coaches too) tell me last night.....she had a "bad call" in her game last week with 5 secs left where the REF decided the game on a foul. She advocated swallowing the whistle. I walked away..... :rolleyes:

Heaven Is A Place On Earth (Belinda Carlisle) ...
 

Agree. Interestng view. Maybe someday they'll add a fourth official: lead, trail, center, and overhead.

"And this is what you mean working the refs, he didn't really...eh...uh...."

Love it. Please try and find a way that is not a foul. It'd be a great block on the gridiron.

First they need 4 on-court officials: a lead on each baseline that lets all plays come to them.

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.

Wellllllll...according to Colin Cowherd, officials should ref situations, and not be so black and white about things all the time. After all, the world is 94% gray, and this is a call that should not be made in that situation. You never see pass interference called on a hail mary play at the end of a football game, so come on, this should not be called in this situation with a star like KG...

Oops. Sorry - forgot the blue font on the above paragraph. I almost had to pull off the road to puke as I was listening to him. Couldn't get the radio station changed fast enough...

Trust me, we don't. Case in point...

There's plenty more where that came from, too.
