Re: Celtics had a growth spurt

It all goes back to coaches. Ours don't protect the players enough. Some of
these refs are an *imminent threat* to our success and we must strike 1st.
That's up to the coaches, not the players to lose track of the game plan.
Pierce is not learning to play smart especially with 3+ fouls on him. I also
believe the refs are willing to cut some slack to a playoff bound team than
one that isn't. The refs conveniently changed the momentum of Milwaukee from
their 3-10 run.
