The refs are out to get Nenad Krstic, according to Nenad Krstic
Everybody beware of flying chairs: Nenad Krstic is pissed. (Boston Globe)
“I’m back in my rookie year,” Krstic said. “When I was a rookie I didn’t get many calls. So I feel like the same thing right now. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m playing with great players. I don’t know. I really don’t have an explanation.
“Those couple minutes, you’re frustrated, but then you try to forget about it. It affects you, especially this situation for me when Coach is stressing for me to do everything right and just to relax and play, then you don’t get calls. It’s tough.
“You can’t control it. You can’t get frustrated, but those things I can get a technical called for arguing with the referees. It’s tough.”
When I began writing this post, I had one goal: just don’t make any “the only thing worse than a soft big man is a soft big man who complains about foul calls” jokes. Because Krstic doesn’t need that. Fans have already started to turn on him. Doc Rivers has been disappointed by his play. And now he’s got the refs conspiring against him, too? The poor guy!
So no, I won’t say he’s been playing like a seven feet tall, mustached woman, and I won’t say he should shut his mouth and just go up strong. I won’t do it. Even if that’s how I really feel.

I have seen several questionable calls go against Krstic. I don’t believe on putting a muzzle on coaches and players like David “there is no such thing as free speech in the NBA” Stern.

Len, I agree about the free speech thing. Players and coaches should be able to speak their minds. But I also think Krstic is making excuses. I think that Refs tend to be influenced by their perception of how someone is playing, and they don’t tend to make calls for players that they perceive as not working hard, not playing tough … they rightly suppose that such players try to make up for their lack of motivation with sloppy play.
I’m actually excited about tonight’s game. I think we will play well and win.

NBA officiating is indeed corrupt; and Krystic is indeed a big pansy who will never see the second round of the playoffs should the Celtics depend on him for real minutes at center (which seems more likely every day with the ONeals constant injuries)
THANK YOU DANNY AINGE! you dickhead

There isn’t a player on the Celtics that should ever complain about “no calls’ because they all hack their opponents and don’t get called enough for fouls. Davis and Perkins rely on hacking and “n calls” to help ther team win game. The Celtics team definately has more refs in their pocket th not, especially in the Graded.
If basketball was played correctly in Boston they would never be an effective team. Football is the Celic style and I for one love it whenrefs have the b—ls to call fouls on them.

The Celts are the most hated team in basketball because they ty and mask their old legs with a football style game. All it takes is a couple honest refs to kil them as a team.
