I do not personally agree with the lack of a whistle, but the officials are known to be ass at this point, so what’s the point in complaining
GodEmperorBrian
Hero slips before the ball is inbounded in case anyone was confused, right as the beginning of the clip.
Won’t lie, I’d be pissed if I was a Heat fan, but since I’m a Nets fan all I can say is great job refs!

Even the nets commentators knew that was a foul lmao

God damn what did Spo do to the refs wives

Hope Herro is ok there. Everyone’s been slipping on the court tonight

Fresh off the foul called on Fox yesterday. Not a good look for the league.

Herro slipped on the fucking FTX logo, that shit is cursed
Pulsar-GB
Yep that’s a foul. Refs swallow their whistles at the end of games, add this as another example

Someone had a flight to catch
Flat-Stuff87
weird play to run, when you know the refs will swallow their whistle in end of game situations
MinnyPuppies
Jimmy is not getting a call lately.

I appreciate that this highlight has the play and the replay

Clear foul,but I am pretty sure Oladipo also fouled Ben on the screen to force the switch

Marginal contact at the end of a game = Call a foul
Blatant foul at the end of a game = Refs swallow the whistle
DancingCactius
That was one of Butler’s best game winning attempts in a long time. Shame the refs didn’t give him a chance to win it, because that drive was clinical. Much better than his fade away threes at the buzzer.

Can’t wait for the pointless 2 minute report tomorrow
TheGreatWaIl
This is irrelevant but I’m just curious- is that a travel on the catch?
SwishBreak
Contact always gets ignored during end of game plays. I’m not sure if I agree with the fact it gets ignored but it is what it is.
Also while i’m leaning towards this being a foul it’s really not as egregious as some of you are making it out to be lol

Refs have been in the mud this year

Don’t worry this will get acknowledged on the Last 2 minute report, so heat fans get the moral victory. No action will be taken against the refs for this obvious missed call. What’s the point of these reports?

Ita wild you can go from one game to the next and there is absolutely zero consistency and the nba thinks its okay.
Raps n blazers had refs just manifesting shit outa thin air to this where there is clearly contact and nothing.
Wasnt even chaos tony reffing either.

C’mon refs this play and Fox’s play from last night are prime example of inconsistency.

Royce goes straight up, only lowers he’s arms when he gets bumped by Jimmy, arms don’t touch Jimmy. I mean… I’d like to see games officiated like this more often. It’s great that the refs aren’t going to bail you out on every play
Llamasxy
It was a foul but Jimmy travelled so idc.
Rockstar408
Honestly, this is a 50/50 call. Royce was straight up and when Jimmy jumped into him the arms came down but on closer up replay it didn’t look like he actually made any illegal contact. IMO the question is whether Royce was moving forward as he jumped or not.
laz10
Contact is not a foul if the defender jumps vertically and the offense jumps into them
But they usually call it a foul so idk
No_Hovercraft_2719
Is this a foul if the defender goes straight up?
dBlock845
Looks like a good contest to me, he didn’t bring his arms down and hit him, arms came forward from the impact in the chest. I cant really tell if he hit his arms but Royce went straight up, both went up at the same time.
NickofTime2247
Good no call. Defender goes straight up and gets to the spot before butler does. After butler makes contact the defenders arms come down but that doesn’t make this an illegal guarding position.
kurvy-_
Said this on the game thread, but it just looks bad in real-time. That baseline angle replay shows that he got to the spot first and jumped pretty straight up. The tiniest bit of forward motion, but the momentum of the collision afterwards makes it look a lot worse.
Either way, this is such a fifty fifty call. Definitely not as obvious as some of these comments make it seem. And no one mentioning Jimmy’s travel in the first place lol

Refs lol
Terrible no-call what the fuck
Obvious foul lol
Yeah I’m sorry, but that’s just unacceptable. Refs need to be reprimanded.
Foul for me
First KD now Herro… just a rough game for both teams hope both aren’t anything serious at all
A soul for a soul
9 pt lead no KD and gave up the game still. Just been a headache of a season
Clear foul, wild they didn’t call that.
Horrific reffing.
They call that through the first 47 minutes of a game
Calling the game different as the game closes is some big dumb energy
