If Randle fumbled the ball, he would have been allowed to continue the play.

I hadn't seen it before that .gif - but yeah that's a travel.

Ball doesn't move. The gif isn't super smooth but it doesn't even look like the ball rotates in his hands at all.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

However you cut it the refs blew the call. You can't punish Julius because he didn't lose control. It's a jump ball.

 

[N41D]

On what planet is a defender grazing a ball with his fingertips as he flies by the play a jump ball?

can’t be a jumpball if one guy maintains possession the whole time

If julius is making that same move for a layup, there’s no complaints of a jump ball or block.

He’s gotta bobble it on purpose. He didn’t.

What is your definition of "move"?

Because they showed the replay several times on ESPN and when Kyrie hit it the ball rolled down his wrist a little bit.

 

[WASHED KING]

Julius gotta try harder than that to get to the ref. It was C+ for effort at best. I'm only giving him the plus for knocking down the chair while leaving.

 

[nick.]

Can't leave the game in the hands of Scott Foster.

We didn't do enough to win. Had open looks all fourth quarter but just couldn't knock them down. Proud of the fight.

Credit the Nets for pulling out a tough road win.

French MKG was out there bricking and hacking

Was a team high +5 though.

We got outscored by 12 in the four minutes Frank-Burks-Bullock-Toppin-Taj played together. Thibs went full Thibs with that one.

 

[blastercombo]

I see who actually played the game and who’s a “professional watcher”

 

[frshstunna]

Not sure if Lloyd Pierce was that bad or the players just stopped playing hard for him.

New coach and getting a couple dudes back from injuries been the difference for the Hawks

 

[amitt5504]

Thibbs couldn’t have challenged the Randle play because he used his challenge to get that jump ball before that possession

the ball kinda moves (on replay) but to the naked eye in real time it doesn’t look like it even tho Myrie got a hand on the ball. However that hand on the ball wasn’t long enough to force a held ball call.

The harden travel was more egregious but he turned it over anyway lol

I guess. I've seen it called both ways TBH.

Weird that after winning a challenge a play earlier, Thibs didn't challenge that with the game on the line.

I thought it was NFL rules. You get another challenge and your timeout back if you win one.

You only get 1.

Only get 1 challenge a game, and it’s up to the refs in the final mins

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

That's doesn't make much sense then. I understand cutting down stoppages of play, but if you win a challenge you should be awarded another.

So it's refs decision under 2 mins like NFL though?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Refs wanted to go home. I’ve seen stuff get reviewed without a challenge

 

[addict4sneakers]

But that wiseman tech was the worst call I’ve seen in years. They would have had to eject me

 

[datznasty]

To me that's a travel. He literally has to appear even if purposely to have lost more control of the ball, then if he lands with it still in his possessions it's a jumpball. Guys I hooped with would bobble it on purpose and drop it and continue dribbling.

 

[B Sox]

Still arguing about that call

There was no "loss of possession". Ball never leaves Randle's hands. Travel.

Unfortunate timing.

Didn't they review a Bron charge/block in the finals vs the Dubs at one point?

 

[lovehateself]

But that wiseman tech was the worst call I’ve seen in years. They would have had to eject me

initially i saw it as a possible flagrant
but upon review and seeing it from different angles, it couldve just been a loose ball foul rather than a tech since he didnt make contact when his arm went back up
a tech was better than getting a reg foul cause dude wouldve been riding the bench the rest of the game

 

[amitt5504]

Kuz air balling the tech was worse than the call itself
