Tommy took a wicked elbow from #21 in blue - after a long delay and looking at replays the refs decided not to call anything. Its posted in the game thread if you want to see it...I don't see how he doesn't get run after that.
Our epic fail of a 2nd half had little to do with that call...
Wicked is a proper term and so is flagrant and so is dirty. Watt leaned into Freeman and delivered a deliberate and forceful forearm to his throat. There was no doubt about it, Watt should have been given the foul and ejected. The entire game would have changed had it been called correctly. I watched Zeke Marshall simply square his shoulders and hit a guy who was up in his grill the other day and he got T'd up. Hello, the guy is 7 freaking feet, if a shorter defender gets up on him and he simply turns he's going to hit you and it's not intentional and not his fault. The officials clearly do not understand how to enfoce this new rule. I would not be the least surprised if the league reviewed the film and sat Watt down for a game. Anyways, I do think that Larry S is the poorest official in the conference. It's just not today, I've seen him in numerous arenas and he's poor all the time. Serious case of "little man syndrome" going on there.
And,yes, the Bobcats have troubles but so does every team in the conference. We all know that it's never too late to go on a run. It's all up for grabs.
