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.

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.

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.

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.
