I went to the game with my dad. It seemed to us that every time Thomas fell down a whistle blew and he was always the beneficiary. The description above is exactly what I saw. There was another time that Thomas went to the hoop absolutely untouched but fell when he landed and the whistle blew. It was crazy the calls he got.
Lillard was picked 6th in 2012, not 4th. GS picked 7th. Had we owned the pick, we would have had the 8th pick--two spots behind where Lillard was taken. Andre Drummond, and possibly Harrison Barnes, would have been available.
Yeah, I was just clarifying the situation of the 2012 Draft.
Lucky for us they didn't. Had they gotten Wall, I doubt the D-Will trade would have gone down.
I remember a play like the second one you are talking about.
And with that 8th pick, and lillard being from utah, maybe we package the 8th pick with something else and move up too get lillard.
I think it was in the last minute before the half. Thomas drove past Booker. Book chased from behind and tried to block the ball by swinging his arm over Isaiah's head, but missed everything. The shot went in and the whistle blew. Thomas made the free throw. They replayed it on the jumbotron and the angle showed that Booker never even touched Thomas. You could see space between them for the entire play. The crowd went crazy.
Worst call of the night was calling a shooting foul from half court there was plenty of time on bother the game, and shot lock. Thomas was grabbed then threw the ball at the hoop. There was no way he was in the act of shooting. All the ref needed to do was use common sense that there was no way Thomas was going to shoot the ball from half ****ing court with over 6 mins in the quarter and 20 seconds on the shot clock. Lmao.
I do recall that draft being particularly tough to make a trade for a high pick I do recall many rumors of trades that would go down, and the first pick traded was something like pick 18. I doubt we would've pulled anything off
