Oh absolutely he was fouled.
Hard to say since down 3-1 but if they started the series over tomorrow I'd take Detroit.
As for finding fouls on replays the NFL explicitly does not do it and they are correct.
Very slippery slope with a lot of variables, leave it to possession calls.

Luka had a lot of points but not overly impressed with him today.
How many times did he dribble right into the devils triangle past 1/2 court?
One thing I remember from HS ball is that's the exact spot you want to get them when pressing full court.
Luka seemed hell bent on going there and getting double teamed. He turned it over when getting stuck there and close to many more.
Also not a Brick fan but Luka hsd over 3 times as many attempts from the field?
That iso-ball stuff looked like playground ball, you throw it to that one guy and never see the ball again.
Sure some of it was Brick being timid in the 2H and absolutely gassed but Luka played a lot of hero ball today.
The Big 2? Edward's and Randle far and away the best players on the court so far. Complete players.
Both play with an edge and play good defense along with their offense. Easily outplaying Brick/Luka in this series.

Stupid Rule.
When a Team wants a Review ............they can win the challenge , but lose on the final decision.

The refs fucking the Pistons was known before the series started, I posted this in Dell's thread
it will be important for a young Pisston team to play through all the bad calls that we know will go against them, another series where it's 5 against 8, the players need to stay calm when the refs take over, let their coach do the talking after the game

No it couldn't have gone either way, it was a foul, maybe you missed it, but after the game the ref admitted Hart made contact with the shooter and a foul should have been called. If that was Brunson taking that shot, I would have bet my life the whistle would have blown
"Did I make contact with him? Yeah, I made contact with him," Hart said to reporters postgame Sunday

For sure you have a point, teams that lose these squeakers almost always had other opportunities to win.
Still don't think that's an excuse to blow one like that though. Agree with Kane, for sure Brunson gets the call.

No, I don't think sports are scripted or rigged. I think the league wants NY to play Boston, so the Knicks will get the benefit of the whistle. I said it before the series and it's played out that way

If the series was rigged for the Knicks, the refs would have made sure the game wouldn't come down to the final seconds

Torn Achillies, will probably miss all of next season. Giannis needs to get out of there and take his talents to South Beach
of course they want boston/NY....BUT IMO they aren't fixing it...
if they were fixing the games the knicks would win it many times..look at the last time they won...we were all kids
It's all about motivation. The Heat, down 3-0 in the series, had no chance after the blow out 1st quarter.
The in-progress lines continued to shade Miami as if they would play even with the Cavs when down 30, 40, then 50. Avoid those traps.

I never said the series was fixed, I don't believe in rigged or fixed games, I said the Knicks would get the benefit of the whistle in the series, and that's been the case
you don't have to say the word fix.
you were basically saying there was a hidden truth
no big deal
