High IQ play by the coach bringing back starters.

Bottom 7 locked in down 5 with couple mins left against a worthy opponent on road. Took his chances and got his guys to get valuable mins in a close game.

Don't let them know your next move kinda energy. League can't find any good reasons to fine us or call us out, just a bunch of salty guys online being mad at our ethical tanking ways.. making coach Casey proud.

Only saw highlights but looked to me like they really tried to win that one closing with the best guys. Thank god for Butler.

That Curry fall was tough. He is too old to fall like that. He might need a new hip.

The competition has been very week the past few weeks but I feel like our G league players have been playing so well that bring back in Scottie or IQ in any game might actually help the tank most of these games. Poetl is too good though.

This right here is the problem with social media, I half expected these fans to start burning effigies of our players and the refs after reading these comments.

Yeah... there is no chance you actually think playing Scottie or IQ more is gonna lose more games :lol:

Mogbo was pretty vertical and arms stayed upright. it was a clean basketball play imo. Curry fell because he twisted his body left to make a pass and lost his balance as a result

It wasn’t Mogbo who fouled him, but Castleton - he got all body lol.

But is was a bang bang play so can easily be missed

Mogbo jumped vertically with both of his arms straight up in the air to contest the shot and made zero contact with his arms, there's a good reason it wasn't called a foul, the greater contact is actually with Castleton but even that's not major, it really looks like Curry just wasn't concerned enough about falling down and didn't do enough to protect himself, instead being too focused on making the pass. Read through the comments on Reddit and some people there are taking out the torches and pitchforks for our team and the refs, it's a huge overreaction for the type of play we see dozens of times per game.

It was a bit of a weird play. Castleton went up to contest but Steph passed the ball while in mid-air and contorting his body so didn't have the best balance, Castleton turns himself mid air to try and track where the ball went and slightly bumps him into Mogbo who was actually vertical and jumping off more to the side to contest himself. Steph ended up getting ping ponged in between them and had his legs taken out underneath him which led to that hard fall.

arms up doesnt mean you can run guys over though. It doesn't mean you can blow your chest through a dude
