He flopped but there was definitely contact.

I know the letter of the rule, but in practice if officials can't determine definitively after watching replays for 5+ minutes that his elbow made contact, then it probably isn't worthy of a flagrant foul. People can complain about the officials all they want, but the blame for the loss lies squarely on the team's shoulders. 14 second half points simply isn't good enough against the #1 team in the country.
 
The turnover by Stokes with 90 seconds remaining was not ideal. Not sure why he is handling the ball on the wing 22' from the basket, but w/e.

He wasn't that far out and that's not a bad place for him to have the ball, but the spacing there was a cluster****.

Yes that's true but it's not fair Florida got every call late.

Oh and that Maymon got thrown out for a bogus power ploy.

The sequence of events that led to Maymon fouling out was ridiculous. I don't know exactly what was said obviously, but that was a really quick trigger for T-ing a guy up.
 
On twitter, TFP reporter Daniel Lewis said Martin asked the ref who gave Maymon the tech what Maymon did to get one and refused to tell him.
 
There is one man on the market who can help salvage the Braves rotation and lead us back to the playoffs.

His name?









Jair Jurrjens.
