NBA - Main

The hilarious thing is most fans I know would love if there was more taunting in the nba. Same thing with the NFL. Let players be competitive and form rivalries. As long as they’re not fighting and play isn’t slowed down who the hell cares

This might be the softest shit I've ever seen someone get EJECTED for.

All highlights should contain the original broadcast audio, those without audio will be removed.

What a fucking joke. I was hopeful that hairless cat looking mf adam silver would fix this shit but i guess not.

I genuinely do not understand the rules for traveling. If that wasn’t a travel.

How dare he

he wasn't ejected for taunting. he was ejected to getting a 2nd tech.

Maybe I'm just not seeing the outrage, but if you got a tech, maybe be careful the rest of the game.

And this I why I stopped watching the NBA long time ago

This kills the sport. It's the rivalry and emotions what makes people interested and invested in the sport.

Not quite Joey Crawford/Tim Duncan level, but honestly halfway there

Another W for ref fans. We eating good tonight.

Gotta be the teeth. T for 'teeth,' T for 'tech.'

What the fuck is this shit

Straight up Cassius Marsh vibes. This call makes that call look like actual taunting by comparison. Weak af.

I thought this was a normal tech 🤷🏽‍♂️

The refs trying to help with Giannis's load management. That's so nice of them!

So I guess the ref invested in the point spread?

I mean fuck around and find out

Wow that is a weak call. I assumed it was for something he said watching that first angle and not seeing a whole lot there, but based on the second it didn't look like he even said a thing

Yea this is just rigged

NBA has the nerve to go after teams for load management, because they don't want fans robbed of an opportunity to watch the best players play, and then just accept this shit.

Fuck oooooooooofffffffffffff

New strat: after getting dunked on, walk into their line of sight to trigger a tech

I’m sure players recognize that was uncalled for, so what if they just collectively stop playing

Yeah, these refs are gambling on this game or working for people who are gambling on this game.

In front of a home crowd...wtf.

Mann I don’t get why refs don’t get fired for this kinda shit

That could rank among the worst calls of all time.

I’m sorry that ref needs to be suspended. It would be one thing if Giannis had a rep but a tech for that? Who is this ref?

Refs have lost the plot

Funny, he should have been called for a travel...

That ref needs to give his balls a tug

Wtf is this shit

Should have been ejected for traveling

Prolly ejected for egregious travelling TBH...

Yea... nba is officially weaker than soccer.

Basketball refs smh. It's literally the only sport where players get regulary get tossed because the rolled their eyes twice in a few minutes. By this standard 22 soccer player get tossed 15 minutes into the game.

Adam Silver is keyed in on the doctrine of disproportionate response.

Techs should only be basketball related. Taunting, trash talking and disagreeing with a refs call should not be illegal to do in the NBA.

Refs also need to start getting punished for shit like this.

A player can get fined for tiny ass shit like this but the ref and many other refs that have done shit like this and affected the outcome of a game get off free? It doesn’t make sense.

The NBA is just a money grab organisation these days, they only care about business now, not basketball.

Good and bad.

Good-They give that stupid crap to everyone

Bad-That they give this stupid crap to everyone :D

kinda hilarious the league makes such a big deal about stars playing in the games and then this bullshit happens...

Ejected? For that? Bad for the game

I watch NBA games for the refs, not the superstar athletes who can do super human things. Awesome job, NBA refs. /s

he took like 14 steps and then flexed like he just did something so im fine with it

Tim Duncan reportedly seen smiling on a bench somewhere

This ref should be fired

Just goes to show it all a shit show.

It's been getting worse but people still bet on this shit every single night lol

I can't ever bet on ref ball

I mean to be fair, we the fans are there to watch the refs. Not this Giannis fella.

Vegas called.

Refs must have had pistons to cover the spread
