Can’t wait for your fake superstar to vanish in crunch time in the playoffs again


That's back to back MVP to you. Are you often told you lack awareness?

Bubble refs are even worse than normal refs. Calling a foul every single time a player screams or flops.

the play before the theis gut shot was a clear push-off with his right forearm and the refs have a clear view of it. This was the possession right after Giannas picked his 5th.


He’s protected, should’ve been a push off but refs won’t foul out Giannis and we shouldn’t put the loss on that, we were pretty average


Actually I dont care that celtics lose, it's good for the raptors. But **** is obviously rigged in favor of Giannas and that's not cool.

It is hilarious how people cry about Giannis when Celtics mission was to take him out with BS flops and fouls, why do you think they put Smart on him and then stopped when smart was getting cooked?

Theis acted like he got murdered by a guy trying to clear up a screen, same **** he and other players did all night and yet nobody reacted that way.

Then we got Smart screaming "its on 34" when it was obviously on Lopez and ofc we had the gut full n Giannis which Smart obviously flopped.


Gotta love some of the same people who scream about league being soft cry about every touch is made not being a foul on a game that like 100 Fts shot or some ****.

WHAT A **** JOKE


Did he even touch his nads? Looked like a flop.

He made contact with him. It was a blatant foul. If that’s George Hill it’s absolutely a foul.


Let's say he did graze his nads. If instead he simply grazed his shorts, is that still a foul?

They reviewed it to see if there was anything intentional. That doesn't mean it was a foul.

Hand-checking: "A defender may not place and keep his hand on an opponent unless he is in the area near the basket with his back to the basket. A defender may momentarily touch an opponent with his hand anywhere on the court as long as it does not affect the opponent's movement (speed, quickness, balance, rhythm)."Nov 21, 2018

in this case, he broke up a play by putting theis on the ground unintentionally. It's not like theis flopped. There was a considerable amount of force shown in the video.
