.@JJRedick explains on his podcast to @KyrieIrving why last night’s game was a tale of 2 halves: “One rim was so f-ing crooked. The one [Boston] shot @ in the 1st half & the one [Philly] shot @ in the 2nd half."

You old-timers know exactly where I am going with this. It seems there wasin the Celtics 114-103 win over the Philadelphia 76'ers. The issue wasn't about one rim being crooked, but rather a question of the rim's height above the floor.and his team did a shoot-around in the morning and determined that one rim was a). Philadelphia wanted the "crooked" rim for the first half, but Boston was deemed the visiting team and got the alleged high rim to start the game. The difference in shooting percentages shown in the tweet might indicate a rim issue, but it is. Of course, my first question is,would have found one.In Redick's podcast,agrees "a little bit" about the rim discrepancy, which probably shows a mix of some agreement and diplomacy. The game play-by-play shows theat thepoint in the second quarter. They closed the gap to 48-57 by the end of the half, which might be a. They took the lead with 6:00 left in the third period, now shooting at the supposed normal rim, and never looked back.The Celtics won. There was no ruckus. The fun the guys were having in London never waned. Back to the good old days. According to lockoutschockout's Alex Linder , at a game in St. Louis against the Hawks,andinformed Red of a, and of course, Auerbach started to protest. Hawks owner,, made the mistake of starting a protest of his own against Red, whereby. Red was not ejected but picked up a paltry $300 fine for. Ah, the good old days.Follow Tom at TomLaneHCPhoto via Melissa Majchzak/NBAE via Getty Images
