Wow I didn't think it would be worse seeing the highlights but it is. 70% of those are no calls. 15% were fouls at the end of the game and the other 15% are offensive fouls lol

Ramming the defender in position with your shoulder is now a defensive foul.

Who knew

I've watched it all season. The last two games has been the Dinwiddie show. Every time he drives he contorts his body towards the defender and gets the call 90% of the time. The defender has two choices: take the contact and probably the foul or move out of the way entirely. It should be a no call

The video has been doctored. It’s all conspiracy

Definitely have to take away the shoulder lowering drawing foul bs

So what? It simply can’t be defended.

The stats can't be defended?

 

[shopson67]

Come on guys. Austin Reaves getting superstar level calls is ridiculous. One game is one thing. But even for a non star like a Jaden Ivey (homer example) who is crazy fast off the dribble he doesn't get that kind of love.

Thus funbags example of Maxey.

There is no question Maxey should be getting fouled more often than Reaves.

WATCH THE GAMES

When they don't have legal guarding position, yes. Always has been. All of those defenders were moving and made contact with a shooting offensive player. Sure, there were some where the contact was light, but there was always contact. At least half of those are undeniable.

Nope, just shaded by hater glasses.

Disagree

Of course their feet will be moving they are defending

Fine, take those two victories away for supposed bad foul calls and give the Lakers the wins that were denied due to obvious ref shenanigans. That's better than a wash.

Cudos to most Laker fans for not trying to defend it

Any update on Shai playing?

As far as I know he is

 

[thunderc]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reflects on being traded to OKC

The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turn into a star since trading for him, and he opened up about that trade.
