Got I hate that whistle so much. I get it. It is a foul. But it is the lamest whistle in this sport.

I still don't understand the 1,500 shots meme. Is it really hard to believe that one of the most efficient scorers of all time would spend two-to-three hours trying to get his rhythm back, after these horrible shooting performances?

Luka looks cooked, he's passing up layups to kick it out

They ruled at the start of the year that if you move forward like that it’s an offensive foul. Unlucky Kat

That play needs to be out of the NBA, there is no way the shooter should be able to jump in to the shooter and draw the foul. It's getting old seeing it every game.

I really don't know how Luka gets that call but KAT doesn't when he was hit the same way on his last shot attempt.

I am 95% sure that is supposed to be an offensive foul. Even if the defender is moving forward, you can't make an unnatural shooting motion to jump into the defensive player.

I thought the nba stopped calling those "fouls"(where offensive players purposefully jumps into defensive player)
