Oh, and Lively only gets 24 mins due to foul trouble. And DJJ gets put on the floor every single drive to the hoop.
But yeah, right, this is because the Bucks are “better.”
Edit: Forgot to mention the Portis elbow to Exum’s chops. No review. Nothing to see here.
Agreed. It was egregious. Kidd needs to be more vocal about this. Luka had a drive to the basket late in the game where Lillard literally fouled him 3 times. There was no call.
Kidd should have challenged the Kyrie/Dame 3-point foul. I saw no contact there and it was a three point gift from the officials at a critical time in the game.
Many of our role players did not perform well and that's probably the greatest reason we lost. However, it would help if our coach would actually speak with the officials and ask for explanations as the other NBA coaches do. Kidd can ask that it be called evenly on both sides. Kidd has done some really good things this year. Kidd's silence though hurts our team. Kidd should do some of the complaining so Luka doesn't have to protest every missed call himself.
