Wow. What’s Siakam supposed to be there? Was straight up. The reason for the foul was because he was kneed in the nuts.

Interesting call. Everyone lift your knees up when you do a lay up I guess.

Good call. I hate when those get called offensive fouls.

The ridiculous thing is that it's a 50/50 call, and every ref has a different definition of what a natural shooting motion is.

OG got called for an offensive foul on that on another play in last series though IIRC. I thought at the time that was the wrong call, and here they lost the challenge, so yeah. I dunno.

I can remember another play in the series where OG was called for an offensive foul on the exact same type of play.

Should be a no cal in my opinion. It is a natural motion but shouldn’t penalize the defense either

Gotta call the fouls, doing their job


And the next game they won’t call any of them. That’s the issue, the most consistent thing about the nba refs is that they’re inconsistent.

The holding of Towns was pretty obvious just like Haliburton was held by Bridges on the inbounds. Those aren't the questionable type.

How do they expect OG to jump into a layup?

Green proved years ago that's totally normal motion
