MY MAYOR HAS SPOKEN

League has ruled that Wemby snuffing Brunson should’ve been a foul, but doesn’t reach a flagrant 1. Hukporti about to get some minutes tomorrow night. I appreciate you volunteering Alvarado but you’re too important.

[Andalusian girls]

i don't have much of GUT REACTION dog because Brunson is almost a Shai-level unnatural motion foul baiter so lowk karma, but if that ain't a flagrant what is he shoved Brunson to the ground by the back of the head lmao it was the definition of unnecessary. closer to a flagrant 2 than a common foul.

Wemby finna get superstar favoritism for the rest of his career if he's getting away with this his first postseason. should've gotten busted for the Naz Reid decapitation.

[Dimmauk]

Let's just hope Brunson learned to not undress Wemby during the game.

[Deejay]

You look like an idiot defending that shit, real talk

If anything it will just put him in harms way. The nba should’ve put the clamps on it after game 2

So I know not everyone wants the slower pace of the 90s back, but I'm down for a compromise where we return to the far more physical 80's but keep the current pace. However it needs to be called fairly. AG is right that elite bigs just get fouled constantly and it isn't always called, leading them to get angry and eventually retaliate.

We can raise the bar for what is a foul so long as we are consistent about it. Remember when Kurt Rambis took a clothesline and it was only a common foul? Bring back Bad Boys Piston era enforces and end the SGA / Harden style foul baiting.

Plumlee is the Spurs' enforcer, but rarely is he on the court outside of the 4th quarter.

[Emphasis]

I'm genuinely enjoying the matchup between these two teams, but the display of favoritism has been pretty disgusting.

NBA senior vice president of referee development and training Monty McCutchen told ESPN's "NBA Today" earlier Tuesday that a foul should have been called on the play. The league, however, decided not to upgrade the no-call to a flagrant.

Wembanyama accumulated his two flagrant points earlier this postseason after he elbowed Minnesota Timberwolves forward Naz Reid in the jaw in Game 4 of their second-round series. The Spurs star was assessed a flagrant foul 2 for excessive contact above the neck, triggering an ejection. He did not face any further discipline, including a fine.

[Dimmauk]

I just want to say, if the Spurs lose, it's rigged because they want to biggest market to win. If the Spurs win it's because they are the better team.

LoL

KAT was absolutely hooking lmao, smart risky attempt with no fouls but that's gonna be his 2nd right away. would prefer no foul call on either the drive or the block tho
