NBA - Main

I’m no Brooks fan and have literally heckled the man in person but this was soft

THEORY: Scott Foster has a lot of historical dirt on the NBA involving match fixing for the sake of creating monetarily beneficial playoff/legacy matchups. They avoided outing him during the Donaghy scandal because it would unravel the decades of NBA history he has been involved in. He now carries on with his ego oriented reffing behind the protection of his unspoken untouchable status.

These refs must have something on Silver…

I've fallen and can't get up

if they missed it and it wasnt challenge i’d understand, but it was a challenge and they had all the time in the world to overturn it

What an awesome ref; such creativity

?? I was watching this, I hate kyrie more than the next guy but Dillon clearly grabbed Kyrie's arm lol. didn't cause kyrie to fall but it was clearly a foul

Did Brooks push Kyrie with is right hand? On Kyrie's upper arm?

The IDF is not fucking around.

I may get downvotes for this but I feel like while the flop was egregious, he did get fouled hard enough to lose the ball and probably only flopped because he didn’t hear the whistle

this is why the nba is just another scripted sport.

It’s fine cause it was Dillon brooks . No one likes this mofo lmao

How in the fuck do you review that and confirm that’s a foul? NBA refs are fucking blind

I mean he literally pulls his arm so he can’t get the dribble. Definitely a foul and also def a flop

Get the Foul + fine imo

Scott Foster at his finest

Loses his dribble and flops to keep possession lol

Brooks grabs his arm. Kyrie sells the contact. It's a foul but Kyrie looks stupid

he can’t keep getting away with this

Scott Foster is a crook!

It's ok, ya'll..the league will confirm that it, indeed, was not a foul at some point today. :)

that doesnt look like grab. touched his arm then kyrie feel it and flopped.

they review this and confirmed ? lol some of this refs are corrupt as hell

Kyrie flopped but Brooks did foul him first

Such a horrible product the NBA is putting out there.

Refs are not doing too well this year. The NBA seriously never addresses the problem.

Probably because it’s slightly rigged, I guess.

Wtf is this for soccer/football behaviour is see in the nba

It’s crazy, every other sport I watch the refs have no problem changing their call after looking at a replay, but NBA refs treat that shit like getting called out by their wife and just dig in deeper no matter the evidence against them.

It’s maddening. Makes video review useless 90% of the time.

Scott Foster needs to go… he’ll be the next Netflix doc for sure

No jersey swap this time either!!

I mean, despite Kyrie selling it hard, it is a good call because Brooks grabbed his elbow and forced him to lose the ball.

I haven't had the chance and won't read every reply, but hopefully someone spotted that Kyrie's arm was grabbed - Your video conveniently doesn't show that.

While Kyrie did flop to get the refs attention, he was grabbed in the arm - clear foul. I guess people are focused on the feet and not the arm grabbing

And if we are going to talk about the refs, then maybe we could look at these calls as well... back to back:

And then on the other end, Brooks bumps into Luka and no call.

This is a screenshot of Kyrie's arm being grabbed.

I am not sure if this isn't a foul?

I did see these calls earlier in the game:

Or this non call on Brooks:

Were all soft calls supposed to be going the Rockets way?

I thought this would get overturned and a tech given for flop.

Good

Lmao....like not seeing this in the heat of the moment but after the challenge...you can't tell me that man should ref NBA games.

i thought the decision was made in Secaucus

I bet you Scott Foster could tell you the line in that game.

Because that was a foul tho? Foul then my flopped. You can’t grab the dudes arm as he is doing a behind the back dribble.

The ref review gonna need a ref review

He probably had money in the mavs

Lest we forget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaqGtuxfLbY

Slow motion replay gives leaves nowhere for biased refereeing to hide and yet here we are. The only option to explain this is for the league to gaslight fans into thinking this is not a flop...that might even work if it wasn't Scott Foster officiating.

Scott Foster the real flop. Disgraceful Kyrie. Disgraceful Scott.

Does the NBA realise how this is ruining their product? The call was challenged for God's sake... swallow your pride and make the right call. This is part of why I'm watching more NFL and NHL than ever.

I agree kyrie flopped/exaggerated the contact but it is a foul tho right? Like brooks slightly grabbed him but he did grab

I guess you guys just going ignore that after the review he says that he grabbed his left arm causing him to lose the ball, the “flop” after was irrelevant since the foul already occurred. Rockets broadcasters are just straight homers lol
