Uncalled Cheap Shots

I would've been looking quite closely at 34 and 42 and they wouldn't have played a lot of minutes -- either after getting ejected or picking up a few quick fouls.

No real urgency with the officials -- on hard fouls like that you'd expect at least 2 of the officials to close distance quickly to make sure things don't escalate. But here, nothing.

I don't think I've posted in this marathon of a thread, but I agree with you. 2 and 6 were common fouls, 5 was flagrant, and the others intentional.

I can't believe how nonchalant the officials are during this. On #5, an intentional isn't even called, and non one closes down after the shooter hits the floor. The Trail just puts his hands on his hips and stands there like he has nothing better to do. I close down on stuff far more tame than this.

As big of a turd as #34 is, and how much of a moron his coach might be, the officials did a horrible job managing this game and situation. Foul #5 wouldn't have happened with competent officials on the floor, because #34 would be on the bench already. Unbelievable.
