Bud was going out of his way trying to get a "statement tech" and the ref still didn't give it to him lol

Of course it was. Wish they would have called it honestly.

Such inconsistency. Giannis gets called for a charge for stepping around Grant Williams who literally falls down every time there is contact to try and get a call. Dudes NEVER golds his position. Meanwhile Tatum barrels through head down AND off arm full extension. What is happening.

Basketball is a game of referee preferences

Are you one of these people that thinks a defender has to be a statue in order to draw an offensive foul?

Agreed. I think part of the problem is that refs don't call offensive fouls unless guys go to the floor. Really incentivises the flopping/falling down.

The balance is just way off in terms of how things are called. They need to focus on calling offensive fouls that incentivise good defensive position and stop calling fouls on flops (even if that means swallowing the whistle when there is a foul).

The irony of this coming from Bucks fans.

Tatum 2 offensive fouls game 2. One offensive foul this game and Giannis gets away with about 5 per game

So Grant Williams should roll out the carpet and not try to defend? Or maybe Gianni’s shouldn’t try to run through a guy?

No I am saying he shouldn't fall down for that and should hold position. It should also be a non-call either way. Not very hard to understand.

Both these teams are so good on defense. Feels like an old school 00's brawl. Love it.

It was clearly blocking but that wasn’t one that was *worth* challenging.

Williams feet were 5ft apart & he was leaning.
