Bro, don’t act like Jokic doesn’t embellish. There were a lot of “light” calls on him, but he’s allowed to post up somebody like Steph with his entire mass. Steph embellishes, Jokic embellishes, but only 1 got the superstar whistle last night. I hate how the NBA constantly favors offense, give defenders a fuckingn shot!

Dude, Jok gets beat up more than anyone in the league. Just take the L.

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

What L? Both Steph and Joker get mauled, both Steph and Joker embellish to get the call, so how am I wrong? You see those scratches Joker? Steph arms look exactly like that. I love Jokers game, he just always so incredulous after every foul call/no call.

If you end up with Steph on Joker he should be able to bury him in the basket? That's just how mismatches work

Absolutely, but don’t call the foul. I believe Steph was called for a foul twice on Jokic and it was just body bumping. I would’ve been fine with the no call. Let him cook, but a foul isn’t necessary lol

I'd have to see the plays again. I think in general there's a trend in officiating to let players, especially smaller, players, get away with murder when playing post defense so anything that pushes against that trend I'm happy with.

(related, I played center haha)
