Celtics' Marcus Smart on refs: 'Wish they would call game the right way'
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was furious with the referees for how he was being officiated during Thursday night's 108-87 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, and it caused him to boil over during the third quarter and then after the game to reporters.
"Really, just, I wish they would call the game the right way," Smart said. "A lot of calls that they called, I didn't understand where the fouls were. And it just seems like whenever I get the ball and I'm on offense, I can't get a call.
"Nobody else is going to protect yourself. You've got to protect yourself. So if that means I've got to lose a little bit of money, then I've got to lose a bit."
