They weren't going to do this, but the refs should have reviewed that Giannis oop for a flagrant on Chris Paul.  Good thing Giannis is as strong as he is because that was a dangerous play by Paul.

Yeah. That was straight up high key dirty. And stupid! Dunk makes it a 3 point game with 13.5 seconds left. CP fouls, Giannis misses but gets his own rebound. Ballgame.

I know they never call it but the moving screen by Crowder that allowed CP3 to have a wide open three with the time to read a book was egregious to me.

They just don't call 'em.

The one or two times a week a moving screen actually gets called, the screener is shocked by the call ... and even though he did commit a foul, I don't blame him for being shocked.

It's called much more in college, but it's also arbitrarily called at that level, so I guess I prefer that the NBA never calls 'em if given a choice between the two.

NBA refs are usually pretty consistent in-game.  I actually think the refs have been pretty consistent with their calls throughout the series.  (I'm not saying they get every call right by any means.)

Yeah. It's amazing. There are times live that I'm shocked at a whistle, only to have them show a replay and PJ clearly hacked the guy or whatever. The only ones I typically still disagree with after a replay is when Jrue is fighting over a screen, the screener throws his shoulder into Jrue, who then gets pushed into the ball handler (Harden).

IMO NBA reffing has improved tremendously under Silver. There are still issues but they are right way more than they are wrong.

[wadesworld]

I did not have "Suns shoot 55% from the field, 68% from 3, and only lose the rebounding battle by 2 and still lose at home" on my BINGO card.

Good point.

$280/ticket for upper level on Craigslist has to be a scam right?

Absolutely. SRO face value was like $425.

Oh yeah, on StubHub get in price for SRO is north of a G

Could be a parking pass too.

Get the win on Tuesday, so we can move on to winning the World Series. After that, it's on to the Super Bowl.

Imagine the outrage if someone like Marcus Smart or Patrick Beverly had made the play Chris Paul did.

And then, it goes without saying, bringing the national basketball title home to Marquette!

I feel confident saying Milwaukee will never win a Super Bowl in any of our lifetimes.

I never mentioned Milwaukee. If you weren't looking to criticize, you might have realized that.

I thought about adding that, but I figure it's gonna take Shaka 2 years to win it all.

Agree, it takes 5 years to judge, once Shaka wins 4 straight titles

I have no doubt Marquette can get back to the promised land.  In my view we absolutely can be on par with Nova and Gonzaga.  I understand it will take time, and patience isn't one of my strong points, but the resources are there as is the tremendous fanbase.  The entire city of Milwaukee can be mobilized if we get our program back in business.

The Deer District will turn into the Coliseum or Eagle 's Nest with wall to wall support and enthusiasm.   Shaka is quite aware of our iconic history, will get the right players, and re-establish an identity.  It's time to go to work and bring back badass teams that possess:  speed, quicks, creativity, power,  mesh mincing, intelligence, hops, tenacity, spurtability, switchables, handles, enforcers, merciless devastation, etc etc, etc. 

Get the right players, with a myriad of skills, and move towards net cutting and being a steady force every March/April.  It can be done and has been proven by comparable programs.

All it takes is 3 consecutive strong recruiting classes to stick the roster properly
