00:00 Could you all give me like two seconds?

00:02 Oh my God.

00:08 Oh my God.

00:11 That's supposed to be fun, right?

00:16 Man, what a game.

00:20 You guys got the time out from your perspective.

00:23 What kind of happened there?

00:24 Did you get fouled?

00:24 Did you feel like you got fouled over there?

00:27 You're setting me up.

00:28 No, I'm messing with you.

00:29 I thought, you know, D-Book ran into me.

00:33 You know, there was no call and obviously,

00:34 Bron made a, you know, high IQ plays.

00:39 You know, he's probably done a million times in his career.

00:41 You know, the ball's out and they call timeout on loose ball.

00:44 You can't call timeout on loose ball.

00:46 Can't do it.

00:46 So if the whistle blows, I don't know why,

00:49 you know, everything in the league is reviewable.

00:51 I don't know why that can't be reviewable.

00:53 I know it's not a foul or an out of bounds,

00:55 which is like a challenge.

00:57 Okay, but at any point in the game,

00:59 the whistle blows, okay, inadvertently,

01:02 the ref can huddle up and say,

01:03 inadvertent whistle, okay, where were we at during the game?

01:07 Okay, and that did not happen.

01:08 So, extremely disappointing.

01:11 You know what happened, Dwayne.

01:12 I know what you're trying to do.

01:14 The whole world's seen it.

01:15 I just got off social media and other players

01:18 around the league seeing it.

01:19 So, it is what it is.

01:22 You know, refs miss calls sometimes,

01:23 but you know, when they're a bit that obvious,

01:26 you know, it's tough.

01:27 You know, when they put so much anticipation on the game,

01:30 you know, we're not asking for favoritism,

01:32 just a fair chance.

01:33 With this being a tournament, does it feel different

01:35 to lose a game on a call like that or have that play?
