Not sure why they needed a replay to confirm that it hit the ref.

Wouldn't the ref just say "yeah it hit me - dead ball".

****ing ponderous ending.

And I know Rudy touches Embiid on the hip on the last layup attempt... but he got the call cuz he falls and flops around. Probably the same amount of contact that Rudy gets on tons of attempts... same contact Mike likely got on the last floater at the buzzer.

You have to cheat and flop to really get calls in the league. The refs are so reactionary. Its not basketball... its acting.

Pretty epic fail when you're up by three and don't foul.

Yeah, that made me crazy.

That's a hard one to let go. We have quite a few guys that will be letting these past 3 games motivate them for a week. Hide all the hookers and don't be suprised if DM annihilates a basketball standard in the next game after the break.

This is true too. They played the last play of regulation badly.

Horrific

If i have it right, they pushed up the floor starting through Simmons to give it to Embiid back to the basket (on a long midrange position) against Bogey, where he even tripped. And they didn't fouled. Incredible, kinda of a moment that they asked to be hosed.

It hit his pants/leg, but dude just stood there and took it while Royce was barreling towards him

JC got taken out by a ref earlier in the year when the guy didn't get out the way... ended up giving him a little extra and getting a tech.

Move yo damn feet refs.

IMO it is still getting the principle of the rule wrong. The ball or Royce touching the ref didn't affect the play at all. Its like getting everything right on a text but not filling in the date so technically you get a zero... rules is rules.

I really hate that we have to sit on this game for 9 days.

That's the explanation but if it hit the ref, why did they review it for so long? Couldn't the ref come in and just say it? And I still haven't seen a replay that confirms it.

Refs get paid well to not be incompetent.

This game might light a fire under the Jazz for the rest of the season. A recognition that they have to put games out of reach far enough that the NBA can't steal from them.

Good point. The fix is strong.
