To me it is very simple, once again we played very hard but did not play very smart.
This has happened a few times in the Jays era. We lose games when they seemed to be right in our grasp. We have had some strange end of game loss, like that RU four point play.
A good team has to be able to overcome bad refs.
We had it and let it slip it away.
Two more quick observations.
1-
Whitehead is a heck of a player. He may not be a likable character but what a player!
He's better than Dunn, whom by the way, I thought had subpar year and won MVP on rep only.
2.
The ref that called the five seconds reminds me a lot of Tim Stinkin Higgins.
I'm not questioning the call (Hart messed up) but did the white haired ref have to pull out the piggy dance while making the call?
A few moments later he also made the and one call and again he seemed to relish making the call. Maybe it's just me but he really seems to enjoy making a call against Nova.
And one one more thing, just for kicks, and I don't care what main liner and mvp15 would think, so don't bother to reply:
One of the three blind mice should have had the balls to call the foul on Hart. He was clearly fouled.
Nevertheless, we had the game and we let it slip away.
