Again and again it appears as though the Boston Celtics are getting the short end of officiating because they continue to fall far behind their opponents on free throws attempted. The Celtics rank 21st with 22.2 free throw attempts per game. The frustration with that is amplified considering the Celtics give up 26.5 free throw attempts per game, the most in the league.
These kinds of discrpencies often lead to questioning how refs are calling games. Some may think the Celtics are at a disadvantage because they have no player that is at the point of getting “superstar whistles”.
