It must have been those short arms that mucked up that pass from Rubio! :)

Flip did the offense for defense swap at the end with Pek and Dieng. I gotta think he wished he started doing that sooner. We have to remember these early games are not only a chance for players to develop chemistry, but for Flipto learn who he can count on in different situations. Just as long as we win a few of these games while they figure everything out!


Tim that was the worst call I've seen in a while. The officiating was terrible.


Terrible call or not it's a poor excuse for momentum change. The ball changes possession so quickly one call shouldn't do that. This isn't football


it was a tie game with less than 3 minutes left, I don't care what sport you pick a bad call can absolutely change the game in those circumstances

Not as much as turnovers and missed shots. Which happened plenty after that


I disagree, all 3 result in a change of a possession nothing more, but when you play well and the official are the ones that cause it? That's going to have a bigger effect than the other two.

The game moves so fast that bad calls happen all the time. They're only amplified in end of game situations. The game was close with 3 min left. Plenty of possessions left to move past it. If bad calls happen in the last 30 seconds is a Lil different . IMO

Were there any missed shots after that bad call? I think everyone kept scoring, but now Memphis had the edge with the extra possession.

But, yeah, there are so many other plays that could have been the difference, with Pek heading the list. What about Shabazz pulling a D-Will move by missing a slam dunk? Or Mo's flagarant? and lots of other stuff...

Fair enough ^

As far as tonight I would say that's our first quarter of the season so far, I'm surprised it's tied

That blows. Check firstrow.com to see if there is a stream you can watch.


Thanks Carlos. Not a great pic, but better than missing them again.

I am signing up for directv after the game.

No prob. LST actually turned me onto that site during preseason, so he deserves credit. Only problem I found was a lot of pop ups. But as you said - better than listening to radio!

OK. Wiggins needs to start scoring if he's going to get the 15+ I predicted!

If I go to full screen, I don't get the pop ups.
