I'm still confused on what happened on the possession where the shot clock expired and the Cavs player pushed off and still ended up with possession

Refs make a terrible retroactive call that JVG, Mark Jackson, and Doris Burke take pains to point out what a terrible call it was

Well yeah man if you want to make that one thing your silver bullet then sure

Im confused by the Livingston Draymond foul thing. Livingston definitely committed a foul before Draymond. Then Draymond did... whatever the hell that was. How do fouls work if they're from contact after the whistle is blown?

Draymond is your silver bullet for how the refs aren't favoring the Cavs - a player who hasn't had any impact so far. Yet you're ignoring the entire first half. Cool.

I thought Draymond was really important for passing and defense but I guess no impact, thanks for setting the record straight.

They called a foul on Livingston as the ball was in the air but before the clock expired, so they got the ball side out with 14(/) seconds put back on.

So what's the first half? Water under the bridge? Cavs were up 18 points by that point as a result of GSW not being able to get in rhythm + absurd shot making. Cool.

The point of basketball is to put the basketball in the hoop. He has not put the basketball in the hoop therefore he has no impact on the game. If only...Zaza were in, oh wait, if only...McCaw were playing more????

if there's a personal foul called on a possession, no more personal fouls can be called. that's why you're encouraged to wrap up someone going for an and-1

They can be called as techs, or still as flagrant fouls.

It doesn't matter, unless it's a tech because it's excessive.


What the hell guys this isn't hard to understand. If he didn't try to shoot it's not a shot.

Draymond also fouled Kyrie pretty hard on a drive in the first quarter after a foul had already been called earlier on the play. He's found a loophole in the rules
