Next year, can we do away with this weird camera angle where the ref stares deeply into our eyes to explain that they're reviewing a call?

It's my first time to watch Luka in a while, and man he hogs the ball a lot. There was a stretch in the 2nd quarter where he spent 5 straight possessions just pounding the ball, looking to score, not even looking for teammates. It's such a cliche thing to say, but he needs to trust his teammates more. That's the final step for him, even if he's such a gifted scorer.

Celtics/Bucks have had way more physical plays involved in that series that didn’t lead to a flagrant..

More like Booker stayed on the ground and faked like he was hurt. Dude smiled when he turned over... thats all it was.

You don't like personally connecting with the ref?

Wow. So soft. Lmao. That's just a good, hard foul.

This Mavs offense looks terrible though.

Honestly I don't blame DA. Suns are so inconsistent in giving him opportunities.

DFS has sent a message for his teammates more than for Phoenix.

He’s got to be one of the biggest ball hogs in the league. Just because he racks up assists doesn’t change that. Also I’m honestly not seeing this Luka Magic passing greatness. He’s an amazing scorer I’ll give him that. Can’t imagine anyone wants to play with this guy

I cannot fathom how people can continue to say this. Especially this quarter.

Not only that but all these reviews are so damn subjective. You're just giving the refs more power to pick and choose, which almost always favours the star players...

If this is how they're going to call flagrant fouls, then they need to change the ejection rule. Fans don't want to see players kicked out of playoff games for giving two hard fouls.
