Celtics vs. Refs, err, umm, I mean, Cavs

This Celtics-Cavs series is the worst collective officiating I have ever seen.  There are blown calls galore, and interestingly most of them in Games 3 and 4 seem to go against the C's.  I know I'm a homer, but I'm usually fairly unbiased in my assessment of referees.  Earlier in Game 4, Shaq benefited from a touch foul: surely a first in his long (and large) career.

And one more Celtics gripe - good lord what is wrong with Rasheed Wallace?  I've never seen anyone try less on defense and whine more after getting whistled for a blatant foul.  What makes his pungent play exceptionally galling is his universal reputation as a smart player.  If the man has such a high basketball IQ, why does he continue to make miserable decisions at both ends of the court?



On a side note, doesn't he look a bit like Tracy Morgan in his craziest Tracy Jordan moments?
