Ime Udoka Rips Refs After Celtics vs. Bucks Game 3: I'll Teach My Guys to Flop More

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka was upset with the officials in the final seconds of Saturday's playoff loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Udoka said he is going to teach his players to flop more to get calls from the referees.

Udoka was upset with the refs for saying Marcus Smart wasn't in a shooting motion behind the three-point line when he was called for a foul on Jrue Holiday with the Celtics trailing 103-100.

Ime Udoka said the refs told him Marcus Smart was making a sweeping motion on the final shot foul: "You cant say that’s a sweep, he’s going into the shot. Poor call."

The officials told Udoka that if players don't fall down on charge calls, they won't call it.

The final sequence for the Celtics was a mess. A jumper by Holiday gave the Bucks a three-point lead.

Jaylen Brown moved toward the basket after taking the inbounds pass from the timeout. Brown gave the ball to Smart after Holiday stayed in front of him.

George Hill was guarding Smart, but Brown set a screen for Holiday. Holiday bodied Smart to prevent him from attempting a shot.

Smart got into a shooting motion after the foul was determined. Smart missed his second attempt after hitting his free throw to cut the lead to two. The Celtics had a chance to tie the game, but Al Horford missed his layup at the buzzer.

The basket was waved off, giving the Bucks the win and a 2-1 series lead. There wasn't a huge difference in foul calls.

The Celtics had more fouls called against them than the Bucks. Boston made more free throws than Milwaukee.

The main issue for the Celtics was the performance of Jayson Tatum. He missed all six of his three-point attempts and finished with 10 points.

He had 10 points, 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 He scored at least 19 points in each of the first seven games.
