    Not at all. You have to ask yourself two questions: was the defender legal? And did the offensive player go to and through? You get an affirmative answer to both questions and it's an easy call.

    I have a legit question. I only reffed for a couple years, and only for small time stuff. (Now baseball I umpired for years and did a ton of leagues..) anyway, how do you ask this so quickly in your head, and in enough time to make a timely call... or are these why we see the late whistles?

    You can always tell that Stotts system is working when you see all of these pretty passes for dunks and layups. Triple screens, dribble hand offs, weaves. It's working.

    Nice to see a game where Dame doesn't have to carry the scoring load so much. Only 5 points at half time, with 9 assists. Great team ball so far!

    Anyone else not a fan of Aminu's shooting form? He hucks it from over his shoulder. Not trying to hate, but it just seems ill-advised or badly-coached. Don't know his 3-pt %, but maybe his form could stand some improvement?

    Considering they had more points in the paint than us at quarter time, that's a great turnaround by us.

    Crabbe with 14. Earn that contract my brother. Yeah the Magic suck but this has been a fun one to watch. Great ball movement, great activity on defense. With the tough sled coming up this is one to enjoy.

    Orlando is making us look like the Warriors. They really are the Magic.

    I like that the arc on his shot is super high.

    The arc isn't a bad thing by itself, but the release definitely affects the end result. He seems to airball enough shots that it's worth questioning...

    If he was a better 3 point shooter, we could call him The Leprechaun cause there be gold under that rainbow.
