This game right now is incredible. Really high level of intensity

That’s really weird. Agenda which way, because I’ve seen way way worse called games.

Who is his team? Because I watched the refs steal a game against Toronto to help the Lakers. And then the same thing happened to New Orleans twice against Memphis.

Right it’s not like I feel like they giving Luka an advantage - he just has the ball and pushes off- if he misses no problem -
But if someone blocks the shot - they like hell no - foul lol

Doncic flails much more and talks **** mid play to refs which is the most annoying thing, but seems like they're letting them all play pretty physical. It's getting like the Knicks-Pacers games 2 and 3 where both teams are foul baiting and everybody is mad then they're not calling much.

There's consistency, but its not the kind you're looking for as a fan. They just gotta keep the score close.

Tatum and Luka both do it.
