It's honestly crazy how ridiculously in favor of the offense the refs call the NBA. That should've been a no call or offensive foul. In no way did Tucker foul Giannis there
Dude i hate the marginal contact rule that they have out on the perimeter or when they are clearly foul-baiting. I think it's dishonest to the spirit of basketball. It's always fans in the thread "but its a foul tho". Like if your momentum is in mid-air, there not much you can control your body in an instant to avoid contact meanwhile trying to contest. You might as well not play defense at that point.
Giannis and Embiid are the kings of throwing their elbows in to dudes for fouls.
imo the league singled them out & said "we're gonna bring the big man back"
offense sells tickets and views.
Its worse because it's a few players and a few teams Everyone else is fucked.
Its honeslty a problem in the NFL also. But points = excitement so gotta help the offenses, i guess.
Well you see... Tucker's face hit Giannis raised forearm and elbow. /s
Honestly, Giannis was a punk here.
The problem is that the defense is also foul baiting. Makes it almost impossible for the refs have it be a no call. Everyone wants a call.
Yeah seriously. Tucker isn’t playing the ball, he’s playing to get fouled.
Lol what? He beat Giannis to the spot and Giannis just tried to go through him. That’s PJ playing good defense with Giannis playing out of control and luckily getting bailed out.
Downvotes be damned, pj was sliding right into that elbow. Feet not even close to set. Definitely not a charge like he wanted. I’d love a no call here.
He’s playing to be in position to not give up an open layup. Giannis blindly spins right into Tucker’s space, fouling Tucker.
Tucker isn’t playing to foul, Giannis is just playing like a bull in a China shop, which the refs allow and encourage because they make dumb calls like this.
Yeah the way I kinda see it is it’s really unfair to complain about bad refereeing when most if not all players are actively trying to fool refs into making bad calls.
It's more of the refs giving Giannis favorable calls.
They favor stars over all others. And rookies get super shafted. I've seen so many clean plays by various rookies/younger players that get called as fouls because a star or vet was involved. People complain about MLB umpires but the NBA has had this issue for so long. Game should be called as it is, not by who is on the court.
Yeah it's been interesting to watch the spurs the last 10 years. LaMarcus usually got a BS foul call in his favor that sent him to the line every game on average. Duncan and Kawhi were both able to get away with a ton on defense.
The year Dejounte was voted all star, His FTA/game doubled after it was announced. And watching the spurs play against teams with stars the last few years it was so obvious we got screwed by the refs way more than we benefited from them.
Y'all are gonna love wemby getting that treatment.
I watch a lot of baseball, and some umps are downright terrible but it is more just incompetence. NBA games it feels like the refs are actively colluding to influence the game and favor certain teams/players almost every game.
Am I missing something? Is PJ not sliding into the path of a offensive player not a foul?
Giannis plays football not basketball so what do you expect.
Lebron would like to disagree as he gets no call affter his Miami tenure
