Honestlly, i would not call that a foul on anybody.

???

Gabriel's arms were down on the first bump - foul. Then his elbow hit Banchero's: twice - foul.

This was a clear shooting foul.[/quote]

That’s a foul all night every night if you’re a Laker

First contact was initiated by ballhandler,not defender. Everything that follows is continuation of it.

To me this is foul only and just only because whatever they were calling on Reaves , but in perception of basketball game, not nba - somebody breaths near Harden ;Luka, Harden this is no foul.

Right now defenders are left with no tools to defend, offensive players initiate 80% of contacts that happend.


12 days ago Jordan Poole was given tehniqual for passing ball to reff off court as bounce pass. For some reason it was "triggering" for ref.

It's the end of the game... the refs are going to swallow the whistle most of the time. That wasn't the best play by Banchero...

I didn’t watch this game.

The box score looks like their back court absolutely smoked Orlando without Suggs.

Guard defense was atrocious.

And-1

Yuck.

When will this team be good at making 3s????

When the Magic dumps G-Harris and Suggs to revamp the SG core with snipers. Plus: Houstan is not a SG and needs all his minutes at the SF slot.

That did not sound like a ChapGPT answer

Yes Austin Reaves got to the FT line often but it wasn't a conspiracy, we just did a terrible job defending him and he did a good job creating contact. Still pretty embarrassing.

At work we are already having to deal with its replacement: GPT-4.

It can pass university entrance exams already. Hmm.

Reaves played well and got a kind whistle is the best way I can describe it.

He had a very good game that ultimately turned into a great game because of some favorable calls.

But he also really took it to everyone who tried to guard him - Fultz, Cole and Franz all got lit up at times.

didn't seem to swallow it for reeves though....you have to call it both ways.....you call it one way the entire game but then you want to change it up in clutch time.......you know what....i guess it is what it is....i'm just tired of this schit still being a part of the game

It's kind of amazing this game was close given the way we shot the ball: 26% from 3, 40% from the field, only 17 FT attempts and we missed 4 of them. The defense on AD was great, Wendell really made it hard for him and the help was usually coming at the right moments. But Reeves cooked us, he really abused Fultz, and the other defenders we tried weren't doing all that much better.

Kevon Harris is a very solid depth player, if we can keep him on a minimum contract that'd be a good deal. The defence was way better when he was on the court. Goga was pretty bad. Bol was atrocious. I knew we'd most likely lose after Cole went something like 1 of 6 early on, that's the way it almost always goes this season. He had a few good moments late, but still shot poorly overall.

to me it looked like the defender was trying to step in front of paolo on that last play watch his feet. i see a defensive foul, but whatever... at this point i just want the Magic to get a good pick.
