Giannis getting ejected is the softest ejection I've seen since Tim Duncan got ejected for laughing on the bench. (alien.top)

It's almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.

To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.

Porzingis and Horford got technicals in consecutive games for dunking and not landing immediately. Both sprint dunk and a full swing off the rim. They both landed on the 2nd swing back

i hate this rule it should be abolished, swing as long as you want - the other team can try to run up the court and get a 5v4 advantge

The Porzingis one last night even looked like it was safer for him to hang on than drop with full momentum.

Tatum got a tech for a single clap last year

I’ve seen Bam get two techs this year for the same thing. So far it seems like I’ve been seeing weak techs called more frequently this year than in previous seasons.

Christian wood on the Lakers got one on a fast break dunk where his body was literally parallel to the floor while holding on the rim.

Refs wanted him to let go and fall on his back

[–] ChunkyMilkSubstance@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That was Hayes but yeah, refs were mad he didn’t actively try to destroy his body lol

[–] Greaves6642@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Awful, like absurdly awful. I don't know how they keep making the refs worse year for year

[–] Argenteus_I@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

that was Jaxson Hayes, but yeah, that tech was BS

I remember jumping off a bench and swinging off of a soccer net in middle school. It was the middle of winter and I didn't have leather gloves or something grippy, just fabric gloves of some kind. Slipped off the net at the apex of the swing and landed hard on my back on the grass. That hurt badly enough, falling from the height of a net onto you back on a basketball court seems like a good way to end your career

I think that was Hayes.

The horford one i can understand. He kinda pulled himself up. Porzingis' tech was stupid as fuck, if he didn't do that he would've ended up like bogut

[–] BerniesDongSquad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was at the Bogut game, shit still haunts me to this day

[–] syber339@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't see this specific one, but pulling yourself up can help to stop the swinging quicker.

Yea, those are always dumb.
