Not a fan of phoenix but that was a hatchet job last night.
Bad officiating, whether it is intentional or not, is bad enough. Even before it either sends your star to the bench or makes him timid on defense.
I think BB would be better if they came up with a different penalty besides having players foul out because of bad officiating.
Or alternatively letting stars hack players because officials don't want to foul a star out in a playoff game. [Reply]
Here is a choice quote from Brooks regarding his play in the series and about what you’d expect from him. If he’d shut up and just be a 3 and D guy, he would be a valuable player in the league.
"I don't think I lost anything on the offensive end," said Brooks, who averaged a career-high 18.4 points in 2021-22. "I was just there to 3-and-D, shoot and play defense. I got way more to my game than that." [Reply]

I kinda agree. I just wish officials would understand that nobody wants to watch a high stakes playoff game that is over officiated. Nfl penalties are one thing. But I’m basketball where players can actually get ejected…
While I’m on my high horse college bball needs to up it to 6 fouls. [Reply]
I guess they're just gonna screw Miami out of 2 crucial points because the refs didn't see the ball hit the rim so they called a 24 second violation? Kinda lame. [Reply]
