You can't challenge something that isn't called.


They called the foul, so challenge that? But they called it as no gather and sideline. Challenge that and when they review the play they either give FTs or they call it a flagrant as it should’ve been in the first place.


I don't think that's how it works lol. Refs can review it without challenging.

SHAQ32 wrote:+/- is such a useless stat that people way overuse. For instance, JI is leading the team with +19 but has gone 1/7 for 2 points, no blocks, and one assist.


What it says is despite his poor individual numbers the team still scored 19 points more than the opponent whilst he was on the court.

Warriors gave the Magic lots of chances to win but we are too broken to take it.

They looked solid with point guard Franz at the end. When Paolo came back in they fell off again. Those two really struggling to coexist right now. Hopefully Paolo is just hurt and it will all be better.

Hard for me to really accept the "he's not healthy" thing with Paolo when he's had a handful of good games sprinkled in with all the garbage.

If he was too hurt to be effective, it stands to reason he'd have had zero good games, ya know?

It will eventually get better but the roster and offense are fundamentally flawed in 2025.

Only 1 FTA and there were 4 he was denied just in the last minute.

Meanwhile Wiggins has 15FTAs.

The whistle was only going one direction tonight and that’s Paolo’s X factor.

I have faith in Paolo, but he needs to wake up soon.

Paolo will be fine eventually. But we need to get him spacing.
