Does ATL have a chance to pass us or are we a lock at the 6th seed?

The same posters who are complaining that a challenge shouldn't have been made would be complaining if the Bucks lost and hadn't challenged it.

I mean, it's annoying but occupying a player's landing space is a foul.

Even more fun is that no way the owners are going to pay three coaches to sit at home. Probably Horst's last ride.

Ref just blew it.


Why challenge it? It's just a hope, as there was some contact. Advancing the ball & making a shot in the halfcourt you can control.

The only contact was Hali's leg grazing Giannis as he kicked out. He made an insane shot, but that was an egregious call.

So you didn't want to challenge that? I thought it was clearly not a foul and I would rather take that 50/50 overturn with OT than advancing the ball

What about when he’s already falling out of bounds. If he was moving toward the basket sure.

I can't comment since I turned the game off at halftime. But sounds like I missed crazy ****. Sounds like Doc was predictably being Doc and Scott Foster was predictably being Scott Foster.

On that prayer of shot? No, not really. Giannis is a 6'11 pterodactyl. Put your arms up and if he makes it he makes it. Clear as day foul.

Because the contact was made by Halliburton not Giannis so the fact that the ref was too stupid to see that I mean you got a challenge it

Bro come on, there are still like 15 games to go and we’re only one game back. This one hurts but kinda flukey from Indy too. That was like a 1/100 shot he hit.

Stupid strikes again. Really don't have to be close. Your like 5 inches taller. Just stand a couple feet away and hand in the face. I reaaly didnt think it was a foul but when a player falls like that refs will call that.

The real question is why were all the Bucks dudes lined up at half court to defend??? Just have a line of dudes a step or two outside the 3P line, you know, the area you actually have to guard. HORRENDOUS coaching.

I thought it was a foul live but slow motion he didn’t even really touch him. I don’t understand the call on replay review. My guess if that’s in Milwaukee the foul call gets overturned. What a dumb **** loss god I hate being a sports fan at all.

This is it. Giannis just had to be big. Worst case scenario he makes the shot and you’re into OT/have a timeout and 3 secs left for a game winner. Not the best situational awareness from Giannis.

There was nothing clear about it. That's your rose-colored glasses. It's a judgment call, which you don't control. What you do control, is drawing up a play in the halfcourt, & hitting a shot, which even could have been a layup.

If you want to challenge every questionable call at the end, then save more than 1 TO. He had 2 TO's w/ a couple minutes left. Doc regularly is w/out any TO's at the end to either challenge or advance. He doesn't think ahead.
