Re: Celtics had a growth spurt

I'm not saying there is a conspiracy. But watch all of the so called 'stars' in the league. There is a clear difference in how the game is called for Paul. How many times per night do we see him driving and 3 or 4 defenders converge on him and hit him while he is in the air with no whistle? What about when he is on the perimeter and guys are allowed to grab his arms and hit his elbows and forearms to try and knock the ball loose? What it has done is forced him to alter his game because he knows he cannot buy a call. And as a result it has hurt his game.

It goes back to something I said a little over a year ago. I wish there was a way that players identities could be hidden from the refs during games. It would take away all instances of favoritism.

Yep the League is in a conspiracy against  the Celts. Ok. Poor Paul. He is
no Captain and I would now entertain a trade.
