Awful call by the ref, and an even quicker technical foul called.

Thought for sure that was a missed foul call but that was actually all-ball from that 2nd angle. Good no-call by the officials tbh.

I wish I could be paid as much as nba refs do, to be that incompetent at my job.

Tatum is a better playmaker/passer than SGA and is the best playnaking forward in the game.

Hes a legit point forward.

It would be pretty funny if Luka got ejected in the first with all the hype around this game.

Yeah, might be biased but that looked like a standard flagrant call. I think unnecessary’ covers it pretty well. I can honestly say that I THINK that would be my opinion if it were reversed, but we all know superstars get the benefit of the doubt so I wasn’t surprised.

Such an easy foul to see... I can't believe no refs called that.

Luka got whacked across the arm by the defender on his right hip.

Guy has a temper that's gotten on the wrong side of tough into dirty. Seems like he's easily triggered. Kind of roid ragey.

Luka vs Kyrie going at one another has been must-see so far. Awesome start to the game.
