its not even that call..its the whole quarter...im neutral on this game but the Garnett fouls, Perkins technichal, etc... questionable calls all quarter vs. the Celtics.

refs didn't cost the celtics anything. pierce isn't in foul travel, didn't count as a team foul, gave the pistons the ball just like the travel would have.

Lol at anyone defending that call. If that's traveling, then every drawn foul on a jumper is traveling.

shooters get under jumping defenders all the time without moving their pivot foot.

You probably didn't see his feet shuffle. He shuffled them without dribbling, that's why he didn't argue. You and Boston fans are the only ones saying it should have counted.

He traveled so it wasn't going to count anyways. They called the wrong thing but same result.


It was a terrible call. I could have lived with it if they did want to call travel, but that was a shooting foul. Totally blowing the call is unacceptable.

If the Lakers can win without getting the calls on the road, so can the Celtics.

The ref didn't see any feet shuffling either.

The C's have to be able to win a tight playoff game on the road, this will be interesting.

Celtics should just forfeit and rest their legs for the next game because the refs are obviously just giving this to Detroit anyway
