WHO REFS THE REFS!?

[–] Unp0pularS0lutions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was a foul, but also was a flop

[–] Domeu5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like Kyrie's algorithm overloaded and he fizzled.

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

Contact on the right arm, it actually is a foul. Kyrie sold it definitely, but you can see Brooks make contact in the replay. Broken clock is right twice a day.

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

The problem with calling techs for flopping is that it could be bad for certain players and cast a bad light on the league and they don’t want that, so they don’t enforce it.

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

Cant respect a mf who flops no matter who itvis

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

Scott Foster is a piece of shit, yeah Brooks gets smoked for being a tool, but this is just insanely bad reffing. Bald guy needs to step up.

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

As to why it's still a foul, it's because there is an actual foul within this play. Just not on the flop lol

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

Refs want Zion in that in season tournament and not the Rockets

It's so obvious from watching this lol

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

Stealing the game from Houston. It was okay when it was us but I can’t handle this anymore !!

It's a foul (before the flop), yes, BUT, also a tech worthy flop.

[–] jt_33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s about as big of a flop as you can get.

[–] MindlessSafety7307@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love Brooks but that’s def a foul

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

I hate Scott Foster

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

definitely a foul. holding the arm prevented him from crossing over.

now kyrie definitely should have gotten the flop tech, but the foul was there

[–] dantheflyingman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

He held his arm that he was using for the crossover. That is the reason he loses the ball.

Kyrie may get a fine tomorrow

[–] Ima_hydra__bitch@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

By Dillon grabbing Kyrie's arm, it did disrupt Kyrie's dribble. If Kyrie doesn't flop, refs may not call the foul and Kyrie turns the ball over.

[–] bigdawg1945@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hear what you’re saying, but I really can’t call that a grab, no way that shit gets called 9/10 times

[–] RTLT512@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kyrie was already falling over and had no chance to recover that ball with or without the extremely marginal contact

This got upheld??? JFC thats brutal. Why did they even mention calling flops this year if they let this shit go live AND then even on review.

Massive flop.

[–] AppropriateLog6947@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So fixed sometimes

[–] msterling2012@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was a foul, but also should’ve been a flopping tech.

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

I mean is it really a flop (even though very exaggerated) if the foul did occur? Flopping should only be applicable to when foul doesn't occur.

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

I think there's a better frontal angle shown later, Dillion does grab his arm for a second which disrupts his arm movement. Obviously Kyrie oversells it but it was a close game with 2 minutes left, he wanted the refs to make sure to call it.

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

this the first time ive seen kai flop

[–] jimdotcom413@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is there a clip of the replay sequence?

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

He was fouled. I don’t love Kyrie but he was going behind the back and Dillon held his off arm causing Kyrie to lose the ball. That’s a foul. He then reacted dramatically but the foul is there. It could be a considered a personal foul on Brooks, and then a technical on Kyrie.

[–] _3_8_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It is a reach but that should also be a tech

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

Brooks hand hooks Kyrie’s left arm. Yeah he flopped but he was still fouled

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

Worst ref around

[–] Afraid-Department-35@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Disgusting 💀

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

It's absolutely a flop, and a disgusting one at that. But it's still a foul

It's like if you punch me in the face and I then admit myself to the hospital and wear a full body cast with the intent of getting you in trouble. I'm obviously embellishing, BUT you still did assault me

[–] RgBB53@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Scott Foster in his bag lately, let him cook

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

ROTY (Ref of the Year)

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

Ah the ol’ Ref Ego Uphold

[–] One_Sugar9253@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

well, theres only 3 refs and 15 cameras, they cant see everything lol. appalling

[–] Tycam34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is why MJ is the GOAT, the league is in utter shambles right now. It’s all divas and entertainment now.

[–] dizzymidget44@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unpopular opinion. Not a flop

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

Brooks fouled Irving who had to sell it. Refs have been high all season but this was the correct call.

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

The sport of basketball in the USA is COOKED

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

Scott Foster needs to fuck off

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

I mean it was a foul lol, he just flopped to make sure the refs see it

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

Dillon Brooks used the Force on that one.

[–] Educational-Stick582@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought flopping is a foul? Ig not anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️.

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

Yall are daft. He obviously got hit by his wind jitsu. You guys don't even wind jitsu. Which according to the basketball Geneva Convention is only allowable in Alabama and only against a family member. Noobs jfc smfh. /s
