    Missed three? I thought it just the one. If it was a close game it would matter more. Boston was up 27. Those missed calls didn't really affect the game. If it was a close game, that matters a lot more.

    I can see how the last one was missed. It was fast and hard to see until the replay. I get Tatum being upset. He is a star. They are supposed to call fouls everytime down the floor in his mind. I wonder what exactly Tatum said. If he went beyond complaining and said some shit to attack the ref then maybe a tech is warranted.

    Idk. You could tell the ref was offended. Looked like he was about to cry. Maybe he couldn't handle it and teched and ejected Tatum because his pride was hurt.

    I do know the refs have been crap all season. I'm not a fan and I agree an overhaul needs to happen. There is never any accountability on their part.

    But what are they going to get back for the ageing, declining roster they have?

    At least the clip there, the ref made the correct no-call.

    The Rocket defender got the ball on the block.

    He kept holding up three fingers and looked like he kept saying that’s three missed fouls.

    shut down as much as possible, we are still talking about Utah here. The Davis shot chart was fugly. Could not get a single middie to fall. Keeping a body on AD and preventing uncontested power plays to the hoop, is good defensive coverage by the Jazz.

    It was all arm, and then the ball. Nice screen shot though. Wish we could put it on twitter and troll the living hell out of Tatum fans.

    That’s the difference between GS and Utah right now. Size.

    Doofus GS fans on Reddit keep trying to whip up trade ideas (baaad ones) for guys like Caruso, Siakam, Lavine, Murray. They don’t realize trading for guys like Capela and Gafford would fix way more gaping holes than any of those guys could. They would’ve definitely had enough to trade for OG, he WOULD have helped them that much. But that ship has sailed, thank goodness.

    It's not my fault AD is done watching LeBron have major hissyfits over every stupid little thing. Have fun with Tyler Herro Laker fans, Anthony Davis will be sipping margaritas with Jimmy and Bam in the near future.

    Did you learn nothing from the Westbroon empty stats triple crown?

    Hornets just had a 31 point 1st half in Miami. They shot 1-18 from deep. We can relate to what fans are going through in Charlotte, with the exception of rooting for a wife beating psychopath.

    Pretty sure you have to get ball without also getting the arm?

    The arm contact was after the ball was blocked.
    Thats still the correct no-call

    But admittedly, Im a fan of great defense & hate many of the calls players get.... the James Hardening of the NBA is a major dis-service to the game

    you have another angle I haven't seen? cause there is no way from this clip to tell if there is space between the bicep/armpit area. Sure looks like they are skin tight to me.
