M.V. effing P.
FTFY.....
That 1 play....saving 2 points is the difference between a win & a loss. Incredible. All ball on that block too.
Clean block....good non-call letting them play on a game with 2 Playoff teams.
Defender hit the rim first when technically the ball is "in the air" Goaltending.
Rong.....ball is "in the air" after it was blocked by defender.
Great block by a great player.
People need to take time to study and understand the rules and how they are enforced. I know the NBA has a history of some shady officiating (especially in playoffs) but the Giannis block was no goaltending. Not even close. In fact, it reminded me a lot of the famous LeBron block against the Ws in the playoffs that sealed the Cavs championship run.
ESPN had a great article recently about the Eurostep and how it exists within the confines of the rules (no traveling).
The real gripe should be Kyrie getting mauled on his missed shot at the buzzer. Maybe the worm is turning for Milwaukee but in the past that would have been called 99% of the time on the Bucks and Irving likely sinks the FTs for the win.
The NFL is by far the worst officiated league and it’s not even close.
The play Kyrie play should never have happened. The tip was good, the clock should have ran out.

I don't think Kyrie was mauled on that shot. If anything it was a foul before the shot and I think the Bucks may have had one to give.
There was an illegal screen that Kyrie set before Middleton held Morris (to recover from the illegal screen) before Kyrie's contested shot. I don't think any of those were egregious enough to call in that situation.
The shot clock violation was one where the officials had time to get it called right and didn't seem to know the rules.
