Just another case where people that are not officials talk about things they did not know anything about.

Embellished a little? From the Lee Strasberg school of acting. I didn't have a problem with the call. It could have been ignored. he doesn't flop or budge, you don't have anything compared to all the other stuff that goes on. I also don't think he had a good angle.

God bless 'em............ NBA, toughest game to call IMHO.
