Exactly.
Part of the issue is that when there is incidental contact, the refs have a tough time determining who a foul is on to begin with...so the foul goes to the visiting team. How many times last night did we see a Cav go up for a shot, and the Celtic defender jumps straight up, arms extended perfectly above their own head, and whether there is meaningful contact or not, the Celt is whistled for the foul? Happens in the celts favor in Boston too.
