Lillard has been a bit risky trying to draw charging fouls and not getting every call. I’m glad he’s getting a bit beat up doing this.
Pacers have definitely been fouling Lillard hard when possible. A lot of bad veteran whistles his way but we’re surviving the veteran bias the refs are unfortunately calling.
I do like the way they are letting the players on both sides play more than in the regular season.
As for Hubie I didn’t care for his commentary long ago. However, now in his older age he’s calling the game from a more un-biased standpoint since he’s far removed from coaching and maybe above the narrative pushed.
I thought he was very fair to the Pacers in his comments. Very refreshing compared to his broadcast partner and other ESPN and NBA bought commentators who favored the big market or superstar narrative so commonly seen.
