Fred Hoiberg Gently Questions Playoff Officiating
Defying all logic and reason, the Chicago Bulls somehow won the first two games of their best-of-seven against the top-seeded Celtics in Boston.
However, things have taken a nasty turn for the Bulls in Chicago, primarily because of an injury to Rajon Rondo.
After their second straight loss to the Celtics at home -- the first time a road team's won the first four of a playoff series -- coach Fred Hoiberg had a few things to get off his chest.
Perhaps the kids should leave the room:

Sir, you're making a scene.
The master motivator is clearly fired up about the treatment of Isaiah Thomas.
And for good reason.
Thomas went off on the Bulls in Game 4 to the tune of 33 points.
In his own extremely mild-mannered way, Hoiberg is making a lot of sense, although he did preface his point by heaping praise on the Boston star guard.
Thomas does get away with traveling quite often, but so do many other players.

Of course, Thomas has a alternative opinion on the matter:

Well played, dude.
Thomas is obviously dealing with a lot of issues at the moment, but without Rondo, the Bulls are likely doomed, anyway.
In the meantime, Hoiberg will no doubt keep fighting the power.
