With one exception (which I'll mention below), I didn't think there was anything atrocious (read: T-worthy), but it just seemed like it went on sufficiently that someone should have done something about it. My $.02, anyway.

The one play which seemed bad to me was when Noah picked up his second foul near the end of the first half. He first gestured his disapproval in a manner that was similar to his teammates' various disapprovals, but then it seemed like -- just before the camera cut away -- he yanked on his jersey, pulling it partially out, and gave a more demonstrative disapproval. I did not get a great look at it, but that was my reaction. Did any other neutrals out there notice that (or can someone who can play it back let me know if I saw that wrong)?

From what I could tell on the TV, there was not much contact (if any) there. The reason he may not have gotten a T is that the offiical may have wished he had passed on the foul....some officials do give a litlte more rope when they make a poor call.
