Willie Cauley-Stein and DeMarcus Cousins playing alongside each other would be pure gold. That is especially true if Cauley-Stein improves on the offensive side of the ball.

In a move that was as surprising as the sun rising in the east and a FIFA official being accused of taking a bribe, the NBA admitted on Tuesday that its refs made some huge mistakes at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, after missing some major calls that made many wonder if they were any better than if real zebras were tasked with the job.
On the play depicted above, Andre Iguodala wasn’t called for a foul despite almost karate chopping the wristbands off LeBron James’ arm. Is it because LeBron clearly traveled before getting the shot off? Nope! Neither were whistled by the “officials.”
Other missed calls included Draymond Green hacking anyone and everyone in a blue jersey and a few non-conformists in Section 118 who didn’t wear their yellow shirts as mandated by Oracle Arena Law. Only the first is true, but the NBA really should be on the lookout for the second.
Scofflaws.
Unmentioned was LeBron going for a Sunday stroll before dribbling the basketball after an inbound.
The NBA Finals resumes Tuesday night in Cleveland, whereupon officials will miss at least four crucial calls late in the game, necessitating another press release from the NBA 36 hours later.
