Idk why randle doesn't get flagrant fouls for those wild elbows he throws into faces

and by saying randle I mean steph, luka, trae, harden, etc

[Krandor]

Steph doesn't really go for that stuff, won't lie that I was disappointed when I saw that.

Not my point but ok lol. I mentioned it because it happened multiple times in the Pacers game and I think it was only called against him once

I do hate a lot of the way that calls are made though, mainly bailing out offensive players that initiate contact

Trying to draw a foul is ok. I doubt he tried to elbow Dennis in the face on purpose

If the refs would start making the call then players would adapt. Same applies to Trae Young

a defender should be able to land without a shooter stepping into his space to initiate contact. it was lame when wade started this trend and its getting even more lame now with all the elbows

i'm certain MJ would've averaged 100 a game if he did this every time someone went for one of his pfakes

In case my position wasn't clear already:

If a defender jumps in the air towards the offensive player and lands into them or their landing space, it should be a defensive foul

If a defender jumps past the shooter or is landing anywhere outside of their landing space, it should be an offensive foul if the shooter contorts their shot to get in the way and create contact

Yeah but refs are mouth breathers who have no time for such nuance

“touch star player while shoot we blow whistle”

Book just started doing this some and same. i get they're gaming the system but it is a bummer to see.

also it's just ugly as fuck what the hell kind of shooting motion is a shooter doing stepping forward so they can go for the 3-point leaner

As a Spurs fan, get both sides of this complaint.

The irony is when it's a rookie, the no-calls are usually pretty fair. So if they'd just apply that logic to the stars it would already be a huge improvement

Hawks canned Lloyd Pierce

[Moss]

Surprised it came this early

Feel bad for him as he was in a no-win situation. Tanking team last year, injured team this year from the jump. Didn't get along with Trae

No evidence he was a good coach but it wasn't really possible in my mind either. Would've liked to see Trae stand up for once and take some responsibility

Now watch us play better once Hunter comes back and Nate McMillan get an extension. smh

This Spurs-Nets game is wild lol

Nets could've run the clock out and won, but Kyrie drove for a layup and missed, then Murray hit a wild J to go to OT

i have no fuckin idea why Booker just got tossed in this Lakeshow game

[KuroTsuki]

I didn't see it live but just looking at the replay I don't get it.

He obviously said something to get the first T, so he bounce passes the ball to one of the refs kind of aggressively which gets him the 2nd.

But what I don't get is the ref he bounces it to isn't even the one who Ts him up. It doesn't even look like he was going to lol

Imagine how much better the nba would be if they actually invested in referee training

2nd player in as many weeks to get ejected for passing a ball to the ref (happened to JJ Reddick)
