100%. A player needs to have two feet on the floor in legal guarding position before the offensive player is already in the air gliding to the hoop. Dray was fully off the floor in shooting motion when Lillard was sliding in trying to get his second foot on the floor. Very bad night from the refs, Zarba is usually better. There were several calls just completely and utterly wrong, embarrassing calls. Like the one where Kanter fouled Wise twice and got the and1, or the JTA Carmelo phantom one on the screen with a couple minutes left where Melo gives him a little shove and draws a foul. Like what. Blazers made it the ugly game it was with constant bitching to the refs. Like the whole team being up arms over that Curry foul to end a quarter. And I'd just like to add that Mike Breen should never give his opinion on basketball. Stick to promoting the espn Gobert covid special and Gargling Harden like he did the game before; call the game, don't try to analyze it.
It says a lot that they get REVIEWS wrong. You hate to see a game decided by refs, but when they have the chance to make it right and still fail, that makes me think reviews need to be scrapped completely. Even when they bring on the head of officiating to give his opinion, it's half the time different than the decision made. This shouldn't be the case. Maybe the league needs challenge challenges. Zarba is an older ref these days, a playoff ref, he has to be better.
