It's a blowout in favor of the team it's being called on. I assume that made it a little easier for the ref to feel comfortable making the call.

Isn't it a little less wild as a center? He's not ball handling nearly as much as most triple double guys, but the offense still runs through him. Don't get me wrong he has an incredible passing ability and not turning the ball over on any of his passes is great, but the general risk for TOs should still be a bit less than ball handlers.

Seems like it's still longer than the average because I'm pretty sure a lot of players would have gotten ejected for the stare down after the semi-intentional foul. Literally started playing defense like an ape daring the refs to call it.

A Pistons fan corrected the comment and pointed out that they have mostly let them walk in FA.

I see this a lot, but idk how well supported it is. The insane crime rates and changes in crime level from then to now are some of the most studied societal phenomenons and there have been a shit ton of theories. I don't think there is anything approaching a consensus.

If they're fixing games I can guarantee they aren't using the review process to do it... It's by far the time that their judgement is under the most scrutiny. It's infinitely easier to just shift the gray area around to favor a team instead of trying to make the wrong call after every fan gets to watch a slow mo replay 10 times in a row.
