    Teams blow leads all the time. It happens. That's part of sports. You really expect teams to stop playing once they are losing?

    Did anyone not see the super bowl?

    If we had gone on a run after blowing the 21 point lead and ended up winning by 10 I'm guessing very few people would be complaining about blowing the lead because we would have gone on a run and won. Just like if the right call was made we would have won. If that game had been for the championship and Dame had hit that last shot with 0.4 no one would have cared about the blown lead.

    Of course were sick of it, but having games stolen from us by referees is different than blowing them on our own. Those two things have no bearing on one another. Why does a lead we had earlier matter at all? Leads get blown, basketball happens.

    So because we blew a 21p lead we cant be mad at a missed call on Dames last shot nor an obvious step out of bounds. Got it.

    Go back and rewatch the game. See if there were any moving screens by Meyers that weren't called, or 3 steps from someone that wasn't called. NBA refs miss a shit ton of calls. That one just happened at the end.

    Nurk hit 2 big free throws to tie the game up late, but had he missed one, people would have grumbled, but no one would have said a word about the 4 FT's we missed earlier in the game.

    NOBODY IS SAYING YOU CAN'T BE MAD. All we're saying is that it wouldn't have been necessary if we didn't blow the lead in the first place.

    Be mad all you want. Personally, I'm mad at the WHOLE goddamn game: refs and team alike. Even Meyers and his stupid fucking tweets.

    Teams with glass leads shouldn't throw rocks at refs.

    I'm guessing Mrs Meyers deleted it for him.

    This is easier than you are making it. Moving screens are missed all the fucking time. Gortat had a ton, I am sure Meyers had a couple. I am talking about an obvious foul followed by an even more obvious out of bounds call. You are trying to be right so bad and that's fine, you win. I just find it pretty illogical on your part

    He pump fakes when his defender is 5 feet away from him, what did you expect?
