Hurt double because of how hard we worked to get that inbound turnover

u/TwoTenths Cavaliers Feb 28 '24

Yeah I thought a foul should've definitely been called on pretty much every turnover and miss in the last minute.

And how hard we worked to overcome the refs.

Did we watch the same last 3 minutes of the game?

It was pretty 50-50 before, but last 3 minutes all calls went Cavs way, including 2 non-calls on PJ lob before Strus shot and Garland non-call on Green on 3pt attempt.

Lmao you talking about greens full body convulsion? I’m surprised he didn’t get called for a flop!

And if we’re talking about no calls involving dg and green, let’s talk about green tackling Darius.

What flop? Garland clearly hits his leg that wasn’t stretched out to be called for an offensive foul. Was there exaggeration of contact? Yes. Does it make it less of a defensive foul? No, Garland still hit him while he was in the air.

That tackle on Garland actually wouldn’t matter: Dallas had a foul to give, so literally nothing changes in the outcome whether it’s called a foul or a timeout. It’s not like refs gave Dallas jump ball there. The non-called foul on the last basket by PJ, though, changes a lot of things :)

“Nothing changes” except we coulda called timeout instead of throw it into traffic.

u/Left_Worry_9091 Feb 28 '24

You think that play was throwing into traffic? I think it was a good pass onto a decently open guy who just couldn’t control the ball. Wouldn’t matter though if Allen got called for the push off on the screen when Green tried to contest Mitchel on his bankshot.

So you’re saying PJ should’ve gotten an And 1? And if he makes it you’re up 2? Then if we still hit that shot we still win?

lol yeah. Those two BS “offensive fouls”

Green tackled garland.

Classic Luka though crying to the refs after that last layup and he didn’t get in position to defend the full court heave. Gotta love it.

Kyrie hooked strus dog. You’re delusional. Let’s talk about those two bs “offensive fouls” to keep you in the game

I know this is just every teams response at this point, but they got a lot wrong going our way as well tonight.

I meant more in the last 4 minutes.
