why do challenges take so long? the ruling comes from the office - that should take like 30 seconds to a 1 minute tops.

Flops need to be reviewable. SVG is an idiot.

clearly a charge but Giannis can't get his 5th.

the league should just remove the foul limit and penalize fouls >6 extra. stop the charade

All they need to do is give the opposing team free throws and the ball if a player gets to 6 fouls instead of fouling out

The NBA is a **** joke. No call and basket good. Like dude... Giannis would still be good without all the pampering and special treatment. Gtfoh.

Right. Instead they just pretend like 6 fouls is some kind of universal foul limit that perfectly balances correctness and entertainment. Meanwhile superstars' fouls are asymptotic, especially in the postseason. It's really patronizing.

so the recipe to play the bucks in the playoffs is to try and spread out giannis on the weakside on defense and isolate lillard and go at him. it's a layup or foul.

Embiid has to be the most clumsy NBA player ever, I swear.
