Who fuckin cares? Seriously who fucking n cares if a player hangs on the rim? It looks cool. The NBA could improve their product by letting players hang on the rim and get emotional.

[–] Turence@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's a weak ass tech. He was swinging back, yeah he lifted his legs a bit but god damn, do these refs want him to fall on his face?

[–] strangerthingskids@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

These calls crack me up. If players don’t hang they’ll whiplash and land on there back. Like wtf are we doing here

[–] theflow21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Refs are a disgrace. This should never be called unless it’s super egregious.

[–] Xyph3r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck these refs honestly, it's getting worse and worse every year.

[–] ironicallynotironic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He was very aggressively moving towards the rim and needed to hang to land safely. Fire these refs!

[–] somedumbguy55@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t think I like this game anymore.

[–] cors8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is it dumb? Absolutely.

However, as long as they remain consistent about this throughout the season and playoffs for EVERY game, it is what it is.

[–] Mygaffer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He pulled himself up. If hadn't done that no tech.

[–] Xsy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I genuinely do not understand why the NBA thinks this is a bad look.

Such a stupid fucking rule. Enforcing it does the exact opposite. No one wants to see players punished for fucking dunking the ball.

[–] Diablo4Sucks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Someone gotta deck one of these refs and it will stop

[–] odaschox@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get this thug out of my league

[–] kwan2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Those fans in the back with that reaction are hella suss

[–] UselessBastid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why does Paolo look like video game graphics at the end

[–] gaby_zarny@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

was he supposed to let go off the rim an fell on his back??

[–] Prestigious_Tax7415@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is about the lamest rule in the NBA

[–] Muuchko@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

JT always gets the most whack techs fr like he hopped off as soon as he stopped his momentum idg it

[–] ThinSkinnedRedditors@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But he’s the main character!

[–] edwardsscreenname@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tatum stay getting techs mostly because of that terrible haircut. Been in the league a minute and still rocking an Edgar.

[–] funkiemarky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

NBA is so fucking soft I only tune in for playoffs now. They don't need in season tourneys to keep the season relevant, they need to stop with all the soft ass ref calls and all the fucking techs they call. THIS is what's wrecking the regular season. Anytime the game gets interesting, it's a fucking foul. We're here to watch the players play, not refs make dumbass calls!!!

Yell at ref, foul.

Stare at ref, foul.

Celebrate a good play, foul.

Being angry away from refs and other players, foul.

Protect yourself from falling 10ft in the air by hanging on the rim and slowing down momentum, foul

Ask for review, foul.

Showing emotion in game, foul

I know I've missed a ton, and I'm fully expecting to see new NBA rules like:

Sneeze without covering your mouth, foul.

Smell bad, foul.

Swearing, foul.

Trash talk, foul.

Touching other opponent, foul.

These refs gotta stop

[–] IonzobaII@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tingus got a tech for this too the other day

[–] isostope@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

imagine enforcing this shit and not all the flopping

[–] TheBlueEyesWhiteGirl@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

NBA don’t care their refs are so bad

[–] ThDarT7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It doesn’t make sense. If it doesn’t make sense you must rescind.

[–] stephencurry2046@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Seriously, the league needs to fix this, it’s already ruining the game.

[–] zmichalo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Techs for hanging on the rim when they're blatantly a tech are stupid enough, how do you confidently call this shit.

[–] BobLoblaw_BirdLaw@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

These refs have never hung from a rim in their lives. Fuck these do nothings

[–] Turk0luu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly this shouldn't have been called because the momentum on the way back brought him up and he just went with the motion, but the refs have called this a tech every time this season on all teams.

You can hang on the rim to protect yourself but the ref must have thought he pulled himself up to show off. Don't think the T was necessary.

[–] Real_shumagorath@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When Draymond is back I swear he better start getting 2nd-teched all the time for the shit he pulls. Soft ass refs are ruining the game for BS like this.

[–] Disastrous-Object22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just glad the NBA is finally cracking down on the one thing we all really wanted them to.

[–] badrott1989@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

what? he just tried to lower down the momentum before going down ya? tf these refs.

[–] Bucks2020@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s so hard to watch basketball nowadays

[–] wolahipirate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

its literally unsafe for him not to do that with the amount of momentum he was carrying in that drive.

[–] NoBadTrips666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He had to hold there to land safely.

Fuck this call more than anything

[–] WholeWideHeart@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Such a bad call

[–] clittlord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So they want him to fall on his back, that’s nice

[–] External-Extension59@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He obviously did that to keep his feet clear of Bancheros head

[–] No_Hovercraft_2719@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What are they doing???

[–] toofine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unless it's a full on chin up, this is just purely for the ref fans.

Pulling on the rim strengthens their grip on the only thing keeping them from the ground should something happen under or behind them bruh. Why make these guys worry about shit like that, especially after doing something that fans pay to see?

[–] sortageorgeharrison@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is a fucking disgrace. Legit, what is he supposed to do? They have gotten us on this 3 times already, and every time it’s making sure they have space to not hurt themselves. Why is this a point of emphasis

[–] touristBiscuits@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That fan Technical Tom has the same energy as Suns Money Counting Man
