No its not just you. The refs are inconsistent in the way they call the game. It throws players out of Rhythm. The refs take control of the game to much,


But that's kind of on Green. I'm telling my guys to manhandle the ball handler as well and daring them to call it.

Jonas gives you almost nothing but a big body. Not a consistent rebounder scorer or defender. smh

You can’t take a clearer charge than Ingram did. The reffing is just so inconsistent

McCollum is the worst player I've ever seen. He should retire and switch to backgammon.

They should be pounding Chet into Dust, started the game well force feeding Jonas but they've moved on to Ingram iso ball against Dort who's simply throwing him around.
