Why is that call made in the playoffs. So horrible, and Minnesota has to waste a challenge because of it.

He's been making odd decisions this game.


I think it's the injury. McMahon said on the Hoop Collective yesterday that the leg has been getting "tighter". It looks like Luka doesn't really want to jump off.

What team wants KAT on a max contract?

I bet the Suns would love to trade Beal for Towns but Beal is an even worse contract :D

I would need to see it again, but wasn't that hand-to-hand contact? Hate that they only show one angle, because it's probably the right call. Bad switching crew.

They are claiming the wrist was hit. Maybe, it was super close if it was.

Dallas game is driving to the basket and either scoring or passing to the open man on the corner, and it works

Can’t overturn that. He was a lot of hand but got a bit of wrist as well.

Ant seemed ok with the explanation from the ref
