Well that sucks for Bulls fans, a blow to a nice start to the season

A step forward for him was a big hope for them being any kind of contender

This crying from the main 2 is hilarious. Harden and Trae confirms what we already knew lol

I love that these guys are crying. None of them would have made it in the 80's and 90's
I just hope the refs and the NBA keep this standard up instead of rewarding these flop artists

Funny thing is if you play the game the right way then you still get calls.

Jimmy, Bam,DeRozan, Steph, Randle, and KD are around 7 or more fta per game. AD, Embiid, and Giannis at 8+ fta per game

He's literally crying about people playing defense


That doesn’t sound like what he is saying at all.

Using hands and legs to impede a ball handlers progress is not defense. Leaning on the ball handler with the body is not defense. That is a foul.

It is a foul today, it was a foul last year and it was a foul in 1990.

Play defense. Use legal guarding position to stay in front. If the offense initiates contact it is no call.

BUT…

Defense cannot initiate contact with a driving offensive player. Trae is right to complain about those situations not getting called.

Unless you were Shaq.

Then all of that was legal…for whatever reason

The game got too soft. Everything was a foul. Play through contact and the fouls will come. Go out of your way to initiate contact then they will not come

You saw that Bulls game last night, I'm not sure if it was the same as Trae and Harden but LaVine was bitching at the refs on every play. Seems like a lot of players are getting frustrated...I love it

going back to the well on Mobley o 7.5 rebounds and I’m gonna play it until the market adjusts. Loving this kid’s game. You Cavs fans have to be pleased with early returns knowing he still has room for much more growth.
I definitely bought into the narrative of don't expect too much as a young big too soon. True, only 5 games, but he already looks like a vet on defense and his passing/willingness to pass is a pleasant surprise.

When he was at USC, one of the few things I didn't like was that I thought he was almost too willing to pass at times. He was their #1, but was too willing to pass when they needed him to take over.
