oh come on. were you even watching? a call was made before that (incidental) contact was made, thus making that (incidental) contact irrelevant.

What about the non-call of what looked like a shot clock violation but was instead a basket for UCF? If they call that the other way on the floor and it would have stuck even if reviewed. Or that “block” that Tacko had on Zion in the 2nd half, where he clearly just hammered him and no foul was called. Or the countless…

Absolutely. Both that play and the one Zion picked up his fourth foul were both flops.

Nah, that foul gets called 10 out of 10 times. With the defender still moving and a foot inside the restricted area they’re always going to call the defender, even if the offensive player initiates contact.

It was a flop, just like the call on his fourth foul.

The whole second half was full of blown calls. That was not one of them.

You’re really going to complain about this after Tacko committed about 7 fouls before finally fouling out? Dude figured out refs were only going to call about half of the fouls he committed by draping his arms over people as they went to the rim. Good on him for realizing how the refs were calling the game, but you…

I had planned to invite officials from across the political spectrum to dine with me at Pizza Ranches across Iowa, but I’m such a smug prick no one wants to sit with me. This reminds me of every school lunch of my life.

Taylor Hearn has an undefeated street fighting record of 0-1. 

Where’s that “300 pound guys will wreck anyone in a fight" guy from the Westbrook/jazz article the other day? I need his expert insight here

Wait wait wait. Hold on. Temecula already has a thing. We can’t have TWO highly insular Temecula jokes running around here at the same time.

It’s an okay story, I guess.

This is also what everyone was saying last week after he leaked the Lakers’ offer—dude is gonna need another job, but good fucking luck getting one after he came out of this looking like a complete idiot.

I’ve been trying to reiterate your point for a week. It’s Demps’s prerogative to wait until spring for a trade, it’s HOW he went about it all that’s gross: By embarrassing an agent and another franchise using a player’s trade request as ammunition to do both.

You’ve clearly only seen CBS and NBC games.  I encourage you to watch a game on Monday night.  I’m taking Collinsworth over the Witten and The Boogermobile any chance I get. 

Yeah, still don’t care. Having Romo doing what he is doing in the booth is worlds better than almost any other color commentator. It’s not his fault the bar is so low.

No way a touted recruit would go to UNC and then promptly see his pro prospects take a nosedive. That’s never happened before.

They won’t beat Kansas. And they won’t get past the Sweet 16.
