Aside from the officiating…

You are wrong about that. The refs missed at least 8 moving screens on Az, but they did manage to call 1 against TN.

Don't forget about the touch fouls, Phillips box out foul.

The Refs made Az look 5x to 10x better than what they are.

Agree. Every single Ballo screen was illegal he was throwing a hip or shoulder on almost every one. The others he was sliding over to set the screen. Touch fouls toward end of 2nd half were ridiculous with how physical the game had been. Refs can’t change how they call all of a sudden.

There's nothing fair about bad officiating, especially when it's blatant. It was too obvious to overlook. It's easy to see why they haven't lost a game in the last 25 games--paid officials!

Don't we have a 22ish game win streak at home?

I do think the officiating was a bit uneven last night, but you're taking some pretty major leaps in logic, chief.

thanks for that I thought I was the only one that noticed it.

The illegal screens have gotten really bad at all levels of basketball.

The officiating definitely favored Arizona but not to the level some are carrying on. They attacked the rim more and this was a big part of the foul shooting discrepancy.

Don’t agree. Immediate T on Uros, quick whistle on Phillips flop call on one end no review on contact to Uros face, and not calling clipping on the late Key takedown on the other. Maybe they were just Homers but these zero calls on our drives in the first half but plenty on their end was telling. No fouls shots in first half? Really.

I think they knew how bad it was or Coach’s undressing of all three of them in sequence late in the game would have earned another T or two.

Uros being smack in the face was the worst of all imo.

I don’t know if it met flagrant foul requirement or not, but not reviewing it was sorry officiating.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It seems like that broadcast showed very few replays unless they were highlight reel worthy. Close calls weren’t getting air time.

 

[wmcovol]

You could tell who the players are and who aren’t. Some excelled and some melted away. No names necessary it was pretty obvious.

It’s one game.

Our young guys really struggled with the physicality of this game. Playing games like this will toughen them up.

This is true. And I think Aidoo has a lot of potential if we are patient with his development.
