The last few calls sucked for us, but we still could have won. McD is a special player who made a ton of special plays. If there is a silver lining in this sh!t storm, it's how Jordan was taking charge and trying to make plays at the end and (finally) hitting those clutch FT's. Obekpa too showed me more tonight than he has in a while. Hopefully we can keep it up against Marq.
Bull sheit. We should have won. Close games don't come down to how close we are. We were tied and we got screwed. Then we drove the court with rysheed and were screwed again. I don't care about what we could have done after that. Mcdermott's last shot should never have happened if even reasonably reffed in the last few.
We showed resolve. We came back and did what we need to win. Then we had it taken from us with total BS. I'm sorry. I don't think anybody can say those last two calls were legit.
The hook doesn't get called enough. It was a foul on McDermott, obviously, but that's not something that is called consistently. Should it be? Maybe. But 8/10 I think no call is made on that.
The Jordan play I agree was bs. He drove into a crowd, and it wasn't a smart play, but it was obviously a defensive foul.
At the end of the day though MCN you can't just look at calls in the last two mins. There were calls in the 8th min that went our way, and those 2pts count just as much. Obekpa traveled, Jordan traveled ...no calls. You can say the refs took it away from us, but they also "gave" us 4 pts earlier in the half.
All said the refs were A factor in why we lost. McDermott was another factor. So was Sampson needing to double dribble on the wing.
There are always multiple reasons why you win, and multiple reasons why you lose.
