Not directed at me, but I will jump in and answer.

12:15 to go in 2nd half. Williams-Goss drives, takes 4 steps, and initiates all the contact on Pinson. The foul was called on Pinson. Why? Travel should have been called at step 3 if not step 4.

About :50 to go in the game. Meeks gets on the ground for the loose ball. His whole hand is out of bounds while ball is on his legs. Ref is right there. No call. Why?

We all miss calls. These guys are just under a lot more scrutiny. One missed OOB call does not define a game. Given the physicality of the game, missing one going to the floor is minor.

It was a physical game and they maintenance control. The teams played consistent and the officiating was consistent. Isn't that what coaches want? Consistency...
