Clear block, ref was in wrong position to call that a foul..

Oooo bit of wrist there by PJ.

We saw this last round with Ant on Luka. Not sure it will be overturned

I was confused why they challenged on the replay because thought he hit wrist but then JJ made the hand is the ball comment so need to see it again

They are going to win the challenge but because Washington wanting to get right to spinning his finger rather than grabbing the ball, Celtics will get possession
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Rather have challenge. White had rebound, so it is just side out.

Brutal ref call there. all ball.

Don’t like any challenge in 1st half, even you win, it won’t impact the game at all

Just another voice saying "why can't I hear the playoff crowd noise". I would enjoy it if the broadcasters would stop speaking for two or three seconds every once in awhile.

He cannot magic improved stamina because its the finals, he would be completely gassed by half time if he was running back on defence, doesn't have the conditioning

Wasted challenge. Why did Washington force his coaches to call that one?
