The NBA is just so soft now, man.

In no way, shape or form is that a flagrant foul. Come on now.

Franz seem so emotional this game. He’s usually really laid back.

Jase has instantly become the guy I’m watching off ball and waiting for the others to hit him on a wide open shot. He brings what was sorely lacking.

That's a weak flagrant, but whatever.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Franz should have taken the whole pre-season off and Paolo looks like he spent all summer spending his money and not in the gym lol.

Ref says there was wind up (there wasn't), impact (sure, it was a foul), and follow through (the arms were extended?). I don't know, felt like they were just making that one up because Oubre had been whining (even though he had gotten the calls already in that matchup).

What????? His offense will come along but I thought he was actually doing a good job defending, not rebounding though.

If you had paused the play right before he jumped, I would have been certain that was a power dunk. But then he just bizarrely got no lift whatsoever on that jump.

Nice drive by AB, but what in the world happened with that finish.
