I think it's 3 ft's. I will say tho i never have any sympathy when players who flop all day trying to fool the refs arent given the benefit of the doubt.

Well, ****. From this angle it does look like 3fts after all.

more flop from Celtics mean they drop dead every minute

All they did was flop. Tatum’s flop attempt on Holiday late was an embarrassment. You’re going to flop in a guard and expect that call? Shameful.


:roll: This argument could hold a little more water if the Bucks didnt have guys like Greyson Allen. This is how the league has trended. Embiid looks like he gets shot out of a canon and usually has 50 lbs on his defender.

To me this looks like Jrue gets to him before the shooting motion started.

The Bucks didn’t shoot a single FT for the last 16.5 minutes of the game. 17-0 FTA advantage for Boston for 16.5 straight minutes to close the game. Are we seriously doing this ref nonsense?

Is Allen known as a flopper?

Hanging your hat on one play though is dumb either way. Boston had multiple chances to win the game and choked. Boston fans should be more upset over how horribly they shot over one foul call.

I mean,blame Tatum for this game,not the refs and focus on the game 4!

Yeah exactly. There was some bad individual calls like the Giannis block on Tatum which should have been a goaltend although it was balanced out by the Tatum push off non call which was extremely obvious. Tatum ended us missing that shot even though he got away with it too.

Yeah I can't stand Shart and his floppy ways but that was clearly a shooting foul. Not even really close

And in the first half,3 Bucks starter(including Giannis)were in foul trouble

Tatum deserve the heat for this game,not the refs!

Is this a serious question? Maybe it gets trumped from his dirty play but he was horrid in college.

Jrue just annoyed with himself. Initial contact is when Smart is crouched before he motions with his arms. It's then an upward flail. That's a call that would be called both ways all season depending on the ref.

I think it was. A lot of people aren't aware of his college rep, and he hasn't been a flopper in the NBA at all.

College isn't NBA.

And might want to pick a clip where he wasn't popped in the mouth.

The difference is that it was a 3 overtime game for the Bulls in 1993
