Because he's not a good rim protector either.

Definitely something we have to consider. His whistle would be much worse with us and he may not handle that well
Lol, I don't think we do. Lillard is averaging 8.5 attempts per game, Giannis 11.3. and top 5 in the league in FTA. We're getting the whistle.
lol you think we get a good whistle? Watch the fouls on Giannis from the Indiana game. He shot 32 free throws and he probably should have shot 45.
Then watch the whistle any moderate star gets and compare

Also never boxes out.
*Noting that Giannis doesn't either but he gets to lean on being the freak to mostly get away with it.

I think you just have to read your statement and stop at "he shot 32 free throws" and then just probably cut bait.
It's outrageous that anyone here can watch Giannis's bully ball downhill stuff ramming into other players time and again, actually initiating contact, and think he doesn't get a whistle. Every opposing team fan across the league complains about it when we play them. How spoiled do you want to be?
Let me know which one of the foul calls on Giannis was bad the other night. Giannis would shoot a lot more free throws on probably any other team but it would be outrageous on the Lakers or Celtics that’s for sure.
Again let me know of a star player in this league that gets a worse whistle than Giannis.

I'm not buying what you're selling. So he can't protect the rim and he doesn't box out, yet he somehow averaged almost 10 rebounds a game last season. And let me repeat what every coach will tell you, defensive rebounding is a critical part of playing defense.

Oh, so you wanted him to shoot over 40 free throws got it. That doesn't sound ridiculous at all. This Giannis bubble perception thing is wild.
Name me a star player that gets a better whistle than Giannis. You're the one stating a totally subjective case while we have two dudes in the top 5 in FTA per contest. You'll have a real tough time cobbling together a case for a star getting this fantasy star whistle better than Giannis while they're shooting half the free throws.

Again. Name a star player that you think gets a worse whistle than Giannis. I never said a word about Dame. It’s also not just about free throws it’s about all the bull ticky tack stuff for Giannis. If you actually think Smart would get a Celtics whistle here I have a bridge to sell you. I’m in that business
Are you actually a 6ers fan or something? What’s your problem?

I don't have a problem. I'm being pretty realistic about the whistle Giannis actually gets you are not.
As for Dame, of course you never said a word about him, because again, it goes completely against the agenda you're pushing. You were explicitly talking about the whistle in Milwaukee for Marcus Smart. That he wouldn't get it here, because we have a "Milwaukee whistle" while Lillard switched teams and is averaging the 2nd highest FTA per contest he's had in his career on his lowest shot volume since his sophomore campaign. It's a stark counter example to what you're talking about. Don't think that bridge business of yours is very successful.
Worse whistle than Giannis, Jokic. There are a lot more, it's pretty easy to find them.

Maybe there are stars who get a worse whistle than Giannis, but Jokic is not that answer. Even when he plays a soft, perimeter style of offense Joker gets to the FT line whenever someone touches him.

He is. He was just ejected against Chicago for one of the softer penalties you'll ever see. He goes to the free throw line "whenever someone touches him" but only has 6.2 FTA per contest while getting two more paint touches than Giannis does per contest and averaging the third most points in the paint in the league. Guys who go to the line more than him? There are 16 of them with A LOT of jump shooters.

I saw that, it was pathetic.
Similar to Giannis being kicked out for staring at a guy after a dunk. I am not saying Jokic never has bad calls against him, just saying it's not worse than Giannis. He plays a soft game, not going to get free throws for that.
Giannis gets a great whistle. He recklessly plows into and through defenders all game long while often looking completely out of control in the process. He gets tons of calls.PG Graveyard wrote:skones wrote:PG Graveyard wrote:
