This was well documented during the WCFs...they were running "lowlights" during the broadcasts of SGA straight up falling down after shots with minimal or no contact. And this wasn't just occasionally...it was EVERY shot. We'll see if the league decides to adjust how they ref it.

This is like saying "the laws allow it, the government should fix it" and you end up depending on the government to do everything instead of it being people's responsibility. Which is a step away from dictatorship

I saw Prime Harden bringing the ball up the floor against pressure reach with his off hand, grab the defender's jersey, pull him into his body, and get thje blocking call foul LMAO. He is next level.

Is everyone gonna sit here and act like Trae is not in shai’s landing zone? He didn’t fall because of the hand you morons. Look at the foul called.

“Massive” is crazy. We have physical defenders and that shit is adored until it’s your team that loses to it

This is why Nico traded Luka for a bag of chips. Imagine telling someone back in 2021 that this happened
-
Obviously he flopped after but he literally jump stopped and shot bro 😭😭 it’s not witchcraft
-
then lands to fall Am I blind or he just jumps vertically and Trae unknowingly undercuts him?
