I think in that instance it was a challenge so a bit more justifiable than a standard last two minute review, but still….

Technically it’s almost impossible for it to ever not hit the offensive player last because his hand is often on the other side of the ball as it’s hit. But it’s not called that way 99% of the time so the 1% being the exception just bothers me. I understand it’s technically the right call. It’s just one of those plays that almost feels wrong to get right IMO. Not sure there is a better answer. It just feels off to me.

I didn't think about it like that. It's definately a little wierd that 9 out of 10 times it's off the defender by default but they review it once and the call is different.

I guess in crunch time, I still would rather get it absolutely right. Makes more sense to me.

Maybe Bron just wants to add “only 3-0 comeback in NBA history” to his resume. .. or as bleacher said, just a super close 5 game series lol.

Kawhi is out indefinitely

Kawhi should retire at the end of his contract. He's done everything had an amazing career.

He's got three years remaining on his deal, but if his body continues to breakdown that could be it.

True, he's had a tremendous career but injuries have derailed the back half.

I thought it was only 2 more seasons. 3 seasons is a long time.
