NBA is a fucking joke and has been for YEARS

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

Classic Scott foster. Always bigdicking everybody

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

Technicals for flopping, maybe it’ll start next year.

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

There's an argument that it should have been a no-call in real time, but every officiating crew in the league is upholding that challenge because it's a foul; he grabs the arm.

This crew made far more egregious, indefensible calls. This was not one of them.

Lol Brooks clearly has a quick pull on Kyrie left shoulder area which keeps Kyrie from getting the ball back on the dribble, the embellishment came afterwards but was clearly a foul

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

Star players should boycott his games. He will be gone within a week or two

hot take.

that was a flop, AND a foul,

look- he grabs Kyrie's left arm with his right hand.

They want us to gamble on this shit.

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

Foster fans eating so good I’m jealous

[–] Kodak333@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's a foul. Dillon Brooks foot slips under Kyrie's and causes him to fall

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

To my European football senses a flop is mostly called a flop, when no foul was committed. If it's a foul and the dude is jumping to sell it or writhing on the floor, it's still a foul, but embelleshing or whatever you wanna call it.

You can say, they should call a tech for embelleshing or something like that, but if you say it should be overturned because there was no foul, then you have your team glasses on.

Ginobli esque.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The contact on Kyrie's arm doesn't seem excessive, but hey I'm not a ref, what do I know? In any case, the fundamental issue is the blatant favouritism shown towards star players. The league knows that its viability rests on big names and faces, so they will always get the benefit of the doubt.

Ginobli esque.

[–] Sudden-Forever2473@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can we get a version of league pass but it’s just Scott foster games?

[–] LyonsKing12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A foul and a flop.

Both things are true.

[–] jordank94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He flopped but this looked like a foul to me, if he wouldn’t have grabbed his arm he woulda been able to grab the ball

[–] ImmediateWeb9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If I remember right flopping earns you a tech. This was an obvious flop, so Kyrie probably should of been T'd up. Does look like Brooks hit Kyrie's arm which likely caused him to the lose the ball. I'd say that justifies the call being upheld.

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

BLOODY DISGUSTING

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

Joke league.

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

I hate this

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

“That’s Disgusting:The Scott Foster Story.”

[–] Low-Profile3961@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The officiating this season has got to be an all time low....

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

A day after all the Josh Giddey accusations, NBA launches an investigation. Several ~~days~~ years after the Chris Paul shit, Scott Foster gets to go back in the office with absolutely nobody giving a single shit.

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

Ref fans just painted their screen white

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

Lol first of all fuck Dillion Brooks but this is an horrible call.

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

kyrie's left arm hit his left leg which made him fuck up.

[–] DigOlBick99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] titoizmydawg@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dislike Scott Foster's officiating as much as anybody... BUT it was a foul - he grabbed his arm. Kyrie definitely sold it, but it was a foul.

[–] JesseJamesGames449@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wtf are we doing here if they wont call this a flopping techincal after watching the slow mo replay.. that rule is a joke if it doesnt apply to the superstars who flop the most.

[–] mysteryman403@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Terrible on the leagues part

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

It was a fop, but also a foul so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Scott Foster is a loser though.

It’s one thing to fall for the flopping in real time

But to watch it on replay. In slow motion. Multiple times.

And to be the only human who thinks it’s a legit foul? Incredible work by the refs.

Fuck you nba for ignoring flopping. Doing nothing. Letting it ruin the game.

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

The right hand was a ticky tack foul. But it was a foul no matter how exagerated it is.

As a life-long football (soccer) fan, who decided to watch the NBA and basketball for the first time in his life this season, it warms my heart to see that flopping/diving thrives in other sports too.

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

But this is still a foul? It's a flop, but Brooks clearly grabs Kyrie's arm. The anti-ref circlejerk is insane lol

[–] PuzzleheadedWest0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ho Lee Shit

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

Lmao all three of these guys are clowns

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

Foster is fucking cunt

[–] 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
