    After all the hard work he put in, 50+ mins, running the break ahead of everyone, and being all around clutch with a sore ankle, just to get an inconclusive play overturned... Nice work anyway LMA

    Hope Nate learned how to use his star players while at home on the couch. .

    I hated that the call cost us the game, but I really thought the replay conclusively showed LMA was the last to touch the ball. He wore a black armband that could clearly be seen.

    Are replays allowed on non-buzzer plays?

    If they were gonna change the call, it should have been to a loose ball foul on one of three MIL players.

    Unsung hero. B-Roy obviously can't do it all by himself every game

    I think you might be right, however I thought it was far from conclusive. That's why I said Unlucky

    It was off LMA. If you watch, you can tell.

    The refs got it right. Lamarcus definitely touched the ball last.

    I agree that it was off Aldridge.

    It was obvious that when the ball changed direction for the final time, it was from LMAs hand. Unfortunate, but the call was right.

    I'd say he got more jipped by busting his ass on a sore ankle, doing awesome in the beginning of the first OT, and then getting ignored for the rest of the first ot, and most of the second, and just got to watch with the rest of us as Dean trotted out his easy play call of letting Brandon go 1 on however many. Worked awesome. We were up by 6 in the first OT, and the allowed Milwaukee to score the next 6 points. LMA was pretty much ignored the rest of the way. With Brandon, and pretty much everyone else having an off shooting night, really? You go away from a guy having a hot period, and a good overall game? Unacceptable.

    I'm not sure if Domopolus took a timeout, or if it was by the refs. I was hoping they would inbound the ball quickly before the call could be changed. If Domopolus took the timeout it was a bad move.

    It didn't look like that to me. Moute pushed the ball out of Aldridge's hands, and the replay looked inconclusive as to who had the last touch.

    Aldridge has too many long stretches of games where he just disappears. I blame the point guards and Roy for that more than Aldridge himself.

    Mbah a Moute pushed it one way, but the ball changed directions again, and it was last touched by Aldridge. At least thats what it looked like to me.
