On one play a Grizzlies player was slow getting off the court after being substituted for -- it was no biggee. Should have been called a technical, but his back was turned, he was walking off -- pretty much the same as NFL too many men on the field calls when a guy is late getting off. Didn't make any difference to anything except maybe cheating us of 1 pt.
I'm guessing you didn't hear Grant's call on that particular mistake. The way he acted, you'd think the extra player was actually standing in the middle of the paint, waving his arms and hacking Kings players as they tried in vain to point it out.
He ranted for about 45 seconds about them not calling the technical and then found a way to point out that for something close to a nanosecond they may have actually had - brace yourself - SEVEN players on the court.

Every Kings players need to go through a round of slamming the ball - especially JT and Spencer. I don't know why our players can't dunk the ball with authority. Don't just lay it in, slam it in.
Tonights game was bad and sloppy. We need to pass more and rely on each other. I can't stand forced shots - especially when they have no where to go. But we're a young team and hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes.

I must have seen it different than you. I think he actually was in the paint, or just a step out of the paint, and actively guarding a man while we were trying to inbound. Right about the time the pass was triggered, he realized there were 6 on court, turned and sprinted off. He definitely wasn't off by the time the pass was inbounded, and he spent at least 2-3 seconds guarding somebody while our inbounder had the ball. That's not ticky-tack. I think a player not in the game has to be off the court when the inbounder is given the ball, right? I wish I hadn't deleted the recording because I'd like to look at it again, but I did rewind it at the time and it was definitely more egregious than a guy, back turned, one-foot-in, one-foot-out of the court.
It was one of those nights.......poor offensive execution......odd calls by the referees.......Omri's T will be reversed by the league I think..........
Tough teams take ownership of the losses. Defense and rebounding don't take nights off like a teams jump shooting sometimes will.
Memphis is a young team like the Kings but had good front court play by Gay, Randolph and Gasol.
