I've always wondered about that. That screen is never called, I don't know what the standard is for that.

Must not be illegal then.

Nice try. How can they not giving him another T to kick Luka out?

What I am saying is basketball 101....if a top offensive player has 2 fouls in first quarter you run everything possible to get that man on an island so you can draw the 3rd foul. Looks like Phoenix isn’t hunting Luka right now when they absolutely should be to get him out the game


Are you disagreeing with that age old focus on going at a player in foul trouble ?

That's exactly how these brainles refs lose control of almost every game now

Luka collides with Ayton than gets pushed by a scrub without the ball, after the play
instead of a quick flagrant and clear order and boundaries, it becomes a TO and no call

Luka gets mad, decides he's gonna flop all the way thru to make his point

Can easily be prevented by refs actually having a damn clue
it's true to many other games as well, not unique to this one


What are you talking about? The correct call would have been an offensive foul on Luka for running into Ayton. Nothing after that matters...


What are U talking about?

There is no offensive foul, it's an obvious no call
regardless, even if it was an offensive foul (and it wasn't) - what Crowder does afterwards is a flagrant\technical
ur right, the play is over after that hmm didn't know you could do whatever you want because the play is over and nothing matters from that point on :)

the Fact that a scrub like Crowder can push the opponent's star to the ground with no reprucussions and gain a possesion while doing so - starts the landslide

Refs need to do a better job controling the game these playoffs have felt like they're officiated by Highschool refs, awfull

Suns are usually good about guarding the 3pt put we can’t stick with the mavs shooters.

Because he is going to have another defender helping instantly next to him. It's the same with Luka but they have another player doing shadow defense and they don't let him play in his spots in the midrange

Being a star shouldn’t matter....Luka came to Ayton...IT WASNT A FOUL ON AYTON
