They always bring in Steve Javie or whoever after a bad call to justify why it wasn't actually that bad lol.


Hearing their stupid explanations trying to double down on bad calls makes me more upset than the original call lol.


I really don't see the problem here, it was a clear and 1
the foul isn't "on the floor", there was a clear gather. Luka fumbling the ball and recovering as Javie said "in one motion" makes this an and 1, easy call

imagine there's no foul called despite the slap on the wrist but the play is identical otherwise. can Luka recover the ball in one motion and shoot? will that basket count? the answer is obviously - yes

You think Luka is a foul merchant? I would say he is


Luka had most ppg not counting free throws this year since the merger, 27 ppg that weren't free throws. That was slightly better than Jordan's best season.

Clippers aren't winning this game unless Harden or PG show up.

The foul happened with Luka losing the ball AND THEN he began his shooting motion afterwards. It was clear as day man and I'm actually cheering for the Mavs here lol.

Mavericks' defense is really impressive. Long and athletic and it features a sometimes good, sometimes very bad Luka. i really think they can handle the Thunder.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Clippers forcing Luka on switches is killing the offense.

Clippers playing with no sense of urgency at home. Not a good sign.
