I wish I could And 1 this a million times.

The Bucks were physical and taking the Suns to the rim on Sunday. The Suns were shooting jump shots and missing. NBA fans always complain about the physicality of the modern game but if you force action to the rim, the rules are in your favor and you'll likely be rewarded with a lot of free throws. That's all that happened.

So sick of whining about the refs.

Yeah, game threads were a quite a bit more interesting and fun to participate in and read before the last couple of series. Oh well, I can watch more intently without posting.

I have always found game day threads - during the game -- to be emotion driven
If you could find Gameday Threads for Chargers games on the UT San Diego Forum back in the day and find my posts - mercy me - I said some crazy stuff!.

Suns need to shoot better, hit the boards better. Giannis is going to the hoop so you might just have to take a dunk or two if you don't want Ayton to get in foul trouble.

Well Chargers game threads would be a different thing altogether over the last 5 or more years...I mean I have never seen a team blow more games in excruciating fashion than them...or have more injuries. I can't imagine there is a ton of complaining about refs all game though.

An NFL game is ALWAYS far more important, with the exception of maybe a game 7, elimination game, or a game that if you won would get you into the play in. Every regular season game is vastly more important and every playoff game obviously is because if you lose you are out. You don't get another chance.

I wonder if the Raiders fans think the league has been out to screw them for years with penalties or if they realize they just consistently commit more.

Seems like some NBA/Suns fans think each team should get equal free throws regardless or our players get fouled every time and we never foul.

Man is there a lot of whining about refs. I get it on occasion but near every post is nauseating. We and our team have to deal with it. It happens to every team in every sport. In game 1 nearly every non biased or Bucks fan thought we were flopping all over and getting bogus calls. I haven't followed the GB game thread as closely the last two but the way Giannis drives is the type of stuff that gets fouls...same with Harden. In fact, we probably intentionally foul him a lot because it's a lot better to put him at the line than finish around the rim. Ayton touch fouls can be suspect but against Giannis they are more likely. Because we know Ayton is good at defending, and defends nearly every possession and does a good job not fouling usually.

But it's just something you have to deal with in sports. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as watching my NFL team...though penalties in those games...stuff that doesn't get called often have a much larger impact if on a big play.

While I agree an important thing to look for is if the refs are calling more light contact kind of fouls. That was what they were doing in game 3. Light bump kind of fouls. They don't always do that.
