    What makes him even incredible is that he is usually the best defensive player on the floor as well.

    Yep. There's an argument that he's the best player in the league.

    The guy who blows the Joel Embiid ice figure in the Mt Dew Ice commercial went to South Eugene High School. His name is Simon Longnight. Got cast in HAMILTON right out of college last spring. Studied musical theater at the University of Michigan like I did.

    They said it should have been a foul called on Tobias for fouling Allen. Would have been a tie game most likely

    Kind of wish Blazers were playing Utah. They are pathetic.

    You're just an Effing Homer. It's not like he did something egregious like throwing his headband into the stands.

    Faking being fouled is technical foul. I cannot WAIT for the first NBA referee to call a tech on a flop like that!

    What he does is flop. That's not legal. The problem is NBA referees are lazy with their positioning and regularly ball watch. This creates situations where they make calls outside of their primary area of jurisdiction.

    It's not the rules, it's the refs.
