Let's take last night's OKC v GS game for example. Chet hits a buzzer beater 3 to tie the game and send it into OT. Amazing. People on the court and at home watching their TVs are going wild.

But then 0.001 seconds after the shot: "His foot was on the line though I think" (and clearly it wasn't).
This particular guy does it like every single time. I don't know who he is but he has this dumb habit of trying to put doubt in the viewer's head immediately after something great happens. I've absolutely heard him go "BUT WAS IT A 3!?" in similar situations where it was indisputably a 3. He does it just to be a dick.
Steph could drop a full court shot and this idiot would still be like "bUt WaZ hIs fOoT bEhInD tHe LiNe!?"
Like shut the fuck up and let people enjoy the moment unless you're 100% sure
This wasn't even the worst moment. Earlier in the 4th the Warriors had an unsuccesfull challenge for a foul against SGA. Wiggins fouled SGA and after that got a clean block. During the replay the casters kept cpmplaining that the whistle didnt come after the foul but after the block, which was a second later. Literally complaing that the refs don't have super human reaction speed.
I thought that was hilarious. “It’s going to be a VERY interesting challenge.”
Challenge failed.
“Well the officials just needed to find something to back them up.”
It felt like I was at a bar next to warrior fans.
That first bump WAS super light though, so I think everyone was confused if that’s where they were calling the foul or not, and a late whistle didn’t help. It was a reasonable question.
I think the immediate doubt on Chet’s turnaround 3 was worse. That was an amazingly athletic shot by a rookie with 1.6 on the clock in a great game. It totally stole the moment from Chet.
It was a super weak call, it should not have been called a foul on Wiggins, unless you want marginal contact which the offensive player initiates called every time
It’s not going to be overturned but it shouldn’t have been called in the first place
