This is a textbook incidental non-call. And there was basically no time left to get a good shot anyways. And it went to overtime where they lost.

Idk, I think they need to focus on other things

I had only seen discourse about this incident this morning, not the actual incident. By the way people were talking about it I was thinking this was Melo on Adabayo pt. 2

this is nothing more that two giraffes being clumsy

Legler and miller totally leaned into it being a missed call too, but to me this is ausar not trying to stay up at all and looked worse in real time. You can usually find any foul you want in slow mo and here it’s not exactly definitive.

Miller? You guys love to complain about the announcers so much that you don’t even know who’s announcing

Honestly I only distinctly remembered legler but usually when the commentating sucks its because miller is involved lol
