Maybe the refs should call the game the same on both ends of the floor... I've counted 3 drives so far where the Raps have gotten mauled, and no call. Gtfo.


That’s a lie lol, they keep kicking the ball out on drives.

He's like a combination of Giannis and Harden. He gets the fouls because it's better to foul him then let him dunk for two points but then he flops as much as harden.

Without any bias you really believe that last play was a foul? The one where siakam let him go and barely touched him.


He swiped at his arm but honestly couldn't tell the extent of the contact from the angle they showed. But really that is the only even questionable one so far and the last three pages are nothing but Toronto fans whining about fouls.



Only one that's questionable? You gotta be kidding me. LOL not only a mod but a comedian :) Nice


What else wasn't a foul? Siakam? Clearly a foul. Trent Jr. clearly slapped Embiid's left wrist. OG hit Harden's elbow. Those are the ones I'm remembering off the top of my head.

I like that this game is chippy, but we are losing momentum in terms of entertainment by the frequent stops with these questionable fouls. Makes for a worse overall product - even beyond whether or not the calls have been consistent and fair.
