I wouldn't say the ISO stuff should get a pass but in this particular game Dame could've used some help from Melo or CJ. He needs those guys to hit shots and trusts them to do so. How much were they up in the middle of that game? Wasn't it 16 at one point? So yeah, he should complain about a double digit lead in Utah? The man is doing everything humanly possible to will this team to wins and should've been given a chance to do so despite all this crap.
The referees are told to call it as goaltending if it was close so it becomes reviewable. The play stopped just seconds later so there was no excuse for them to not want to interrupt a Utah fast break or anything like that. These fucking refs were so arrogant that it "wasn't even close" that they broke protocol. What's the point of reviews if they can't make sure stuff like this doesn't happen at the end of games. It's just like Markieff Morris stepping out of bounds before hitting a game winning 3 in Portland a couple years ago. How is that not reviewable? They literally stop play to look and see if a 3 pointer was behind the line or not, how is this any different? It's the equivalent of a clear fumble being ran back for a touchdown but the ref blowing the play dead so it can't be reviewed.
If you've read my posts in other threads I completely agree with you about Olshey and management. I'm pissed about that. Dame shouldn't be thinking about that during a game, nor would after that type of horrendous officiating be the time to bring that up. I really don't get the correlation here, it's a massive stretch.
