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

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

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

[–] poros1ty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] -neti-neti-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

How dare he

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

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.

[–] ALL_CAPS7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another W for ref fans. We eating good tonight.

[–] Van-garde@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

What the fuck is this shit

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

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

[–] angel2timez@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought this was a normal tech 🤷🏽‍♂️

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

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

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

So I guess the ref invested in the point spread?

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

I mean fuck around and find out

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

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

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

Yea this is just rigged

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] j4k3b@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In front of a home crowd...wtf.

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

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

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

That could rank among the worst calls of all time.

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

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?

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

Refs have lost the plot

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

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

[–] lildeek12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That ref needs to give his balls a tug

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

Wtf is this shit

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

Should have been ejected for traveling

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

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.

[–] Understdy-evrything@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Noot_11@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Good and bad.

Good-They give that stupid crap to everyone

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

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

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

[–] Free_Dog_6837@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

Tim Duncan reportedly seen smiling on a bench somewhere

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

This ref should be fired

[–] Velocoraptor369@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just goes to show it all a shit show.

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

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

I can't ever bet on ref ball

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

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

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

Vegas called.

[–] CR3ZZ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Refs must have had pistons to cover the spread
