I laughed when SVG said great work by our crew spotting that. That was super obvious.

I mean that's objectively hilarious. Disrespectful and uncallled for, but hilarious to straight pick up a dude mid play in a playoff game

He'd be a starter making $25-$30M a year rather than a journeyman role player if he had any semblance of an offensive skillset. That's how good of a defender he is.

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

So if the refs had any interest in calling a fair game, none of this happens because the push on Powell would've ended the play.

Borderline could’ve called a tech on Murray but I’m fine with the decision.

By rule, the officials could have also called a dead ball foul in Murray.
