NBA - Main

Jimbo what is you doing?

Exaggeration by Jimmy but Lavines minor shove came when Jimmy had one foot on the ground.

It was hilarious to see Jimmy and DeMar laughing about this shit right after lol

Jimmy Buckets is one of the most protected players in the league. Routinely gets the call on the softest plays

Jimmy Butler is Charmin soft.

Did he get the call?

Jimmy just taking a quick rest

Sooo.. Where’s that new flopping rule?

It’s such a simple concept to fix the flopping issue this league has it’s fuckin infuriating.

It was hilarious to see Jimmy and DeMar laughing about this shit right after lol

Amazed it wasn’t a tech

Wtf is that Jimmy 😂

Jimmy Butler is a fucking loser

They have been fucking awful this season, might be the worst reffed season in NBA history

We need a gif of Trae Young’s reaction for this.

That's the Heat Culture?

Theatrics from Jimmy for sure but doubt it would be overturned

Almighty Push

Then later he was showing DeMar how he did the flop 😂

Why can’t we just enforce the literally FLOP rule we have

Jimmy Butler haters come in here!

Call the cops. That's assault. Thoughts and prayers to Jimmy.

Bro hit him with the force

Sports are done in 10 years. In 2 years this “foul” will be rewarded with 5 free throws plus possession.

That was disgusting. Levine needs to be suspended for that brutality.

I feel that I'm watching more refs highlights than players lately

I love jimmy but he benefits so much from the league trying to make superstars on every team

Somehow I think it tickles jimmy

Does jimmy exaggerate the contact here? Absolutely.

Does Zach fully extend his arm into Jimmy side? Absolutely.

Its probably, well “maybe” a foul; but Jimmy sells it to become “certainly” a foul from the officials perspective.

Wait, when did Thanos shove anyone?

Jimmy Baitkicks

That’s a foul, though?

You aren’t allowed to put your hands on a player and change their momentum or position with a hand check, that’s been a foul even when Kobe was still playing, Jimmy sells it but it’s still a foul

I swear half of y’all don’t know hoops outside of 2k

Flop

Good thing the league cracked down on flopping

People act like Jimmy isn’t an insufferable foul merchant akin to prime Harden

Zach did push butler but butler absolutely flopped on that.

Heat culture

Jimmy asserting dominance over Levine so Pat doesn't trade for him

This is the type of play I dream of AI refs eliminating from the game.

Lavine clearly does give Jimmy a little shove at the very last second of his hand-check, but some combination of biomechanics/physics should be able to determine the extent of that contact and discern whether or not the contact at that moment forced Butler into a reaction that led him out of bounds.

If Jimmy doesn't go out of bounds here, no way there's a whistle. But the leg flailing is pure theatrics, without question.

Probably like 25-40 years away though from that type of AI, unlucky.

I'm not saying a human shouldn't be able to either btw, but the fact is that they do, consistently. Tennis has been much more enjoyable for me with electronic line-calling, and for such a subjectively officiated game like basketball/football/actual football,

Hell, even with technology, VAR is a disaster in the EPL. Need consistent/impartial technology for sport. The people that think the lack of officiating drama would hurt the game hurt my brain.

I mean, Spo looked like he believed Jimmy, so the ref should call that, right?

Need to start having an annual award for most creative flop. That one would qualify as a ballerina twirl type

Why wasn’t this called a flop on Jimmy? That was so overly dramatic for no reason

General Soreness doing his thing.

This is what we saw all post season last year btw

He is HER.

Is the league reviewing these and punishing after the fact? Because this is embarrassing.

i mean he does push him though

The nba is a joke
