I think it's hard to win when 3 people have so much power to determine the pace of the game, award free possessions as they see fit, remove key players from eligibility, and arbitrarily decide not just game by game but minute by minute how much physical contact is going to be allowed for each team. Even if you believe that Dyson Daniels did not foul Fox on that last play, is there anyone who watched that game who thinks that's a no call on the other end? This is a serious problem that the NBA league office continues to pretend doesn't exist. And the NBA embracing sports gambling full force as a revenue stream under Adam Silver's leadership only makes the lack of accountability on officiating even more glaring.

I've accepted this notion since last year. His glaring weakness of shaky handles and making plays just isn't on par with a star. Who knows? He could still improve in that area, but it doesn't look promising at the moment. That being said I'm very confident his shot will come back and a very good 3 and D guy is stiil very valuable.
I’ve watched it in slow mo 10 times now. It looks like he got the ball or hand so it appears it was a good steal. Fox didn’t seem upset about it either so it’s probably right. Reallly risky play on his part to be poking around looking for a steal in that situation. To his credit he never took his eyes off the ball and he came away with it.
i thought we got screwed a bunch on calls earlier of the ticky tac variety though. The shooting is a bit misleading as we had to nail a bunch in a row to pull out of that huge early deficit. Atlanta shot well pretty much all game.
People are slamming Keegan tonight but I thought he generally played well outside of those early turnovers and the fouls were ridiculous.

Capt is right. This league is more and more like a joke. People's jobs are tied with team's records and we let these joker refs play "who's who" all day long and it's getting worse and worse. What does the league do? Ban those who openly criticize them. We tie player's contract with All-Star appearances which for more than a decade has been a popularity contest. If they put Kobe and Yao Ming's names on the ballot they'd still get picked to play the All-Star Game.
They just want all these small market teams for their money, they don't really want them to be relevant whatsoever.

I am sorry but I just don’t like Murray anymore. Not because his threes aren’t falling but the lack of consistent offensive effort, rookie mistakes in his third year some of which is a result of his low basketball IQ, and honestly, he was a much better player in his rookie season. All these can be tolerated if he was an absolute hardnosed defender but he is just an average defender at best. Everyone else tonight did their best.
