Someone posted the fouls, you be the judge. To me, outside of the first play where he jumps into someone with minimal contact, and the 50/50 Craig blocking call maybe, the rest seem mostly legit.

lol i didn't watch the game but its a RICH accusation from a team that primarily shoots jumpers.

It's always hilarious when coaches/players/fans cry about how many free throws Giannis shoots when 75% of the time he's fouled it's intentional because Giannis is not a good free throw shooter.

Teams before the game: Foul Giannis, don't let him get anything easy. Make him have to make free throws.

Teams after the game, after playing hack-a-Giannis after they lose: This is so unfair, he shoots so many free throws.

Suns are 100% right. The leeway Giannis gets from the referees has gotten to historically bad levels.

From the traveling to the fend offs to the hacking on defense and to the cheap shots on opponents, dude is governed by his own golden boy rule book that makes any unbiased fan sick.

Dude's good, there shouldn't be any need to bend the rules this badly to make him better.

Not even prime Bron got away with offensive fouls as much as Giannis. Mans doesn't even try to hide it anymore

the only questionable call is the very first one, every other one was blatant

this is the new NBA though, play the victim instead of owning it

Maybe the Suns should be more aggressive with everything but their crying.

Half of these are intentional fouls… like yanking his arm as he’s going up. Yes, it’s annoying to play against him sometimes because of the whistle, but he only does one thing offensively normally. That’s face up and just drive at you full speed. You’d think teams know this and would game plan for it?

This isn't a single game issue.

If Monty Williams was a good coach he'd be drilling his team about their bad defense rather than feeding their egos and saying that the only way they could've given up that many free throws is because of biased officiating.

He just runs into guys and gets a quick whistle. Suns are complaining because they don’t get the same whistle. That’s the unfair part, almost all those Giannis fouls can be argued as a foul but opponents are not getting the same whistle on the other end.

And it's the same thing every game. Teams foul him intentionally all the time. Also the Suns were talking about this game so how are they 100% right?

Is there anyone more unbiased than Suns or Nets fans about Giannis? Two bitter fanbases because their teams took a hard L after talking some big **** that they couldn’t back up. Yes yes the league just wants to propel Milwaukee

Just drop it dude, nets lost, Giannis didn't injure Kyrie intentionally, move on with your life.

**** hate when fans and teams do this.

Milwaukee averages 22.7 FTA per game. Phoenix averages 21.6, 28th in the league. The only reason there'd be a huge disparity when these two teams meet is because the Suns' opponent is gameplanning to attack the paint. Giannis can literally foul out two guys a game in any game.

**** disgraceful from Monty Williams.

This will, at worst, subconsciously affect the refs and lead to less calls on Giannis.

Shameful Suns. Grow up and get better.

The issue isn’t the whistle Giannis gets, as yes, most of those looked like legit fouls. The issue is was Phoenix getting similar calls? I didn’t watch the game, but just looking at the stats it looked like the Suns were being aggressive.

Phoenix drives: 56
Bucks drives: 40

Phoenix total shots inside of 9 ft: 35
Bucks total shots inside of 9 ft: 31

Obviously, stats don’t always tell the whole story but just glancing on those numbers, it sure seems like the Suns have a gripe.

Booker aint wrong, Giannis does get away with a lot of offensive foul, same goes for Lebron.

That was years ago bruh. I actually like watching Giannis when officiating isn't so skewed (think FIBA) in his favor. But I'm not going to stop spitting truth just to protect some feelings.

Facts don't care about feelings.

I don’t like the whining from Monty, but he does have a point. Probably still upset from the Luka appreciation party the refs pulled he other night. Stars have never got more calls than the last few years. Certain players expect a call on every play, and that is just not realistic in a neutrally officiated game.

Lol, Giannis and Lebron get hammered on their way to the basket. This attitude is exactly why you have Embiid out there acting like a clown show and ref-baiting, despite his size and strength. When strong guys who are good offensive players don’t flop, everyone screams “Offensive foul!”
