I've been on Twitter most of the night. Trust me; they already have the message out that the refs screwed up both games.

Charles Barkley does not know how to ref

Said McCalls call was a block not a charge. I thought it was right on and Barkley is an idiot?

From the end line camera view, it looked like a block in slo-mo.
Perhaps Charles is right. Would that make you the idiot?

Two things...Charles Barkley watches and commentates on 95 percent NBA games...meaning NBA rules and philosophies. As such, this would be an easy block in an NBA game. 2nd, I had a blocking foul watching it myself under NCAA rules.

I thought that, even though he was still shifting laterally after the shooter left the floor, he had made it into the path and the shift only changed where he got hit. I thought he got it right.
