Nice flop, Marcus. lol

I know. I also can't believe Boston bothered to foul him. Dude can't shoot.

Wait wait wait - if that's a shooting foul in what world is that not a goaltending call??

Exactly. One of the commentators said something about the shot wasn't going to ever reach the height of the rim, but we don't know that. The shot's gotta be left alone to see where it goes.

Pretty sure if a shot is descending but is below rim level it's not goaltending - it's why it's legal to catch airballed shots. And then that tends to get fudged for shots that have no chance of making it to the rim. Still another bizarre one.

I couldn't tell if that shot was gonna fall short, but maybe I didn't have a good angle on it.

It was definitely not going in but not sure if it would've hit the rim or not.

Lol that's some incredible acting by Smart there. But you pretty much have to do that to get a call from these refs tonight.

I like Scal, but his first take on SO many plays is incorrect.  He obviously knows a lot about b-ball, but he misses a lot on his calls.  Sometimes doesn't know the intricate rules (not that I would).

These commentators ... in the third quarter they called Theis "Hayward" and called Williams "Theis." Confusing two white guys I can kinda understand (though Theis has tons of tats and Gordon doesn't), but confusing a black guy for a white guy? lol, good grief

This OKC dude has gotten our player names wrong a couple of times now. Called Theis Hayward and now just called Williams as Theis.

He still flops, but is so much more respected now than a few years ago.  Either he flops a bit less or has gotten better at it. But sometimes he's still an egregious flopper.

OKC play reminds me of Celtics. Very well coached team.

Is Tatum turning into Kobe ? For good and bad.
The bad is not much ball sharing .

Kobe could be too trigger-happy, but I'd gladly take a Kobe-like player.

Yeah, maybe I'm biased, but I think Tatum is starting to show that he may have MVP-level potential in a few years.

I can never tell if Schroeder's a really good player or a lousy empty numbers one, but I can tell which one he is today :(
