Particularly, he can only sympathize with LeBron James not getting the proper treatment he deserves from the officials.
"LeBron James has the worst whistle of any star player I’ve ever seen," Redick said in postgame of the 125-107 loss. "I’ve been with him two years now. The smaller guys, because they can be theatrical, typically draw more fouls, and it’s harder for bigger players built like LeBron. But he gets clobbered, and he got clobbered again tonight a bunch.
"That’s not a new thing or specific to this crew or this series. He gets fouled a lot that doesn’t get called. He gets hit on the head more than any player I’ve seen on drives, and it rarely gets called."
