They gotta stop calling these Ts it sucks so much

[–] New_Essay_4869@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Refs want you to be Kawhi. Throw down a savage poster dunk then immediately run back on defense expressionless.

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

MJ's second illegitimate son plays a lot more like him.

[–] EndTimesPreacher24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why does the modern NBA have to be such a fucking pussy joke all the time?

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

Should have just screamed at the ref for about a minute?

Worked for Green in OKC

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

what are we doing with these soft ass techs????????

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

Refs should stop sucking up to GSW

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

Imagine the Bad Boy Pistons playing in today's NBA.

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

Refs have blocked more cock than Trojan.

Tech on such a minor taunt, come on let us enjoy basketball

That’s getting rescinded

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

Is that an onscreen ad? wtf?

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

This is a massive highlight, and the refs had to put a stain on it. This is what people love to see, and it’s a penalty jfc let competitors compete.

I love these refs man they’re so inspirational makes me want to try and be one ☝🏾

[–] flips89@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing what happened to the game I love.

Refs and doing whatever the fuck in the NBA got old long time ago.

[–] vanman999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile, Chris Paul gets a whistle for trying to end Mike Conley’s career.

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

If somebody dunks on me like that, they get to yell "raaaah" in my face, they earned it. This new NBA sucks ass.

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

Why are they destroying their own product with useless techs like this.

[–] Simmo69Lol@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nah I’m a warriors fan and this is baby shit soft. Fuck these refs

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

That ref is a pussy for that. Just take all the fun out of the game.

[–] frostfeint3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I watch the Wolves because of this man. He reminds me so much of Wade.

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

Come the fuck on, man. This can’t go on. Seriously, it’s only a matter of time before one of these idiots is going to do that in the 4th quarter of a playoff game and cost a team a game.

[–] SirPrestigious9570@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wow the league has gotten worse with these T’s

[–] BillPaxton777@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuckn lame ass shit from the ref. He’s aloud to have emotions buddy-he’s human!!!!!!

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

That's a soft-ass tech. These are grown men. There's a time when trash talk crosses the line, and this is not it. Saric did the right thing to defend the play. Unfortunately for him, Edwards did more to finish it. That was definitely worth a little trash talk. Saric didn't look too phased by it either. You have to let stuff like this slide. Save techs for when players clearly cross the line.

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

That was one of the most MJ looking plays I’ve seen in a while wow. This dude is gonna take the wolves to the promised land

[–] Surflover12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dude something has to be done about this stupid rule

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

Charles Barkley has to say something about the refs. That’s the only way we get anything done around here.

[–] jseng27@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Charmin time for ads

[–] Schristie007@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

SOFT

NBA seriously needs to reevaluate how they’re handing out taunting techs for basically nothing

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

Go back and watch Wade's poster on Varejão and tell me this deserves a tech.

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

When did penalising staredowns become a thing? This is like the 3rd tech this season for staring someone down.

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

This dude is a monster. So freaking fun to watch

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

League is so fucking soft. Jesus christ

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

They have to reel these refs in with calling all of these tech’s….. every time I’m scrolling down and see an NBA highlight it’s a tech……. That’s not how you get ESPN to cover you like they do the NFL……

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

Gotta protect the warriors feelings. Good call by the ref. Can’t let their planet size egos take a hit

[–] Blutz101@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would be so happy to see any hosting the mvp trophy this year

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

I can’t stand these techs stop giving refs complete control over the flow of the game it’s making everything worse

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

It just gets more ridiculous to call techs on guys the warriors are playing because Draymond is the loudest and rudest motherfucker and just gets away with it but if Ant STARES too long…. Straight to jail.

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

Trying to prevent the NBA from becoming the next AND 1 MIX tape.

It’s a very thin line you have to walk with keeping the NBA fun but also not letting it degenerate into just playground basketball.

Silver seems to have drawn a line in the sand on staring down / talking shit to someone after they get yammed on.

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

Good thing they T'd him up. What a terrible role model. My 4 year old son watched this and immediately proceeded to dunk on me

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

Man if only KAT had the same hunger. These two would be lethal

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

Honestly, throw that ref into a volcano.

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

GS Warriors fan here - that was a weak ass T

[–] balenciv1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So what's crazy is that... the previous few plays Dray had been egging him on by saying, "What're you gonna do?" to AE, and AE just smiled and walked away... the FIRST instance Edwards retaliates (validly)— he gets T'd up (which is why he was laughing cause WTF) that right there is the problem w the NBA the picking and choosing of what's "Taunting" but sure Silver can sit on First Take and blame players, media, and Fans for peddling "the regular season doesn't matter" narratives, meanwhile you have refs directly taking it upon themselves to police any emotion on the court during these games. Shit is bogus asf imo

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

Imagine if refs like these had been in charge of the ECF last season. Butler, Williams, Tatum and Caleb all would've been ejected from every game lmao

Let us enjoy the game goddamn

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

Anyone know what he said?

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

I was getting annoyed with some of the unwarranted taunting but this is just stupid. Half second stare, showing a tiny bit of excitement for doing the thing all the fans want to see. Soon dunking at all is going to be classified as “unsportsmanlike.”

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

I understand based on the rules how it's a tech, but how the fuck is that a tech?! He was supposed to just walk away like it was an open layup? That's a mans play and the league is wrong on this.
