FF2. Heat-T-Wolves

If I were a betting man, I'd guess it'd be downgraded as well.

Allen clearly pushed Barea, and if it gets called correctly then the FF doesn't get called. However I am not surprised that the initial foul by Allen wasn't called. Those plays are rarely called in the NBA. I don't think it was a FF 2 at all.

That wasn't a foul on Allen at all...Barea embellished the amount of contact on the play (as he's known to do). That's not an NBA thing IMO as I wouldn't even call that in a game I worked.

In my opinion he did. As I said I didn't expect it to get called though. We will just have to agree to disagree. In my opinion Allen pushes Barea, who does emblish a bit, but the push still happened.
