Lol. They definitely officiated LeBron that way for years. Drive into a crowd, barrel into people. LeBron spent years getting easy looks but running into people and pushing off.

LeBron didn’t get the fouls though, he absorbed a lot of contact to his credit. Celtics, Pacers and Bulls used to beat the crap outta him

On the Gianni’s dunk. Shuffled pivot foot on gather. My god. Just call the rules of basketball on this guy.

That’s all we ask. Goaltend? Call it. Charge? Call it. Travel? Call it .

The Milwaukee crowd didn't even cheer the "block" because they all saw the goaltend lol

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

Goaltending, bulldozing ppl over, elbowing, reckless fouls, traveling all over the place.... If Giannis was reffed like a normal player....

Blatant goaltending by Giannis. Not even close to being a clean block.

I don't usually complain about refs but this is very frustrating. It's an important game, do better.

NBA refs do not know how to officiate freak athletes. It’s basically a subjective call every time when they go to the rim. Giannis in particular flails his arms around and creates space with his shoulder that no one else in the league does.

Did Boston imagined they gonna play Nets 3 times in Eastern Conf and once more in the Nba Finals

Or that they gonna face other physical and athletic teams like Bucks ?

Now sky is falling cause Giannis use his physical presence to his team advantage?

And I don’t even like Giannis , but he plays hard to win and can’t fault him for this

I don’t mind bad officiating because we only human and no ones perfect but call it the same both ways.

as a casual fan with no horse in this race - Celtics should be pleased, some serious homecookin' thus far
also Tatum hasn't shown up yet offensively and the game is still tied

I really like Horford's attitude and play, just makes great decisions and plays with playoff poise

I’m fine with the lvl of traveling the nba usually gives on an extra step or so, but the pivot is almost always called and it is never called on Giannis.

They aren’t relying on refs. You play defense by getting. Yourself in front of the offensive player to defend the basket. Instead of going around, Giannis goes through. He takes big steps and essentially just crashes into you.

It's off topic so I'll end it here but I'd call getting away with offensive fouls all game receiving the benefit of the whistle.

Lol. Lebron in Miami would go weeks to months sometimes without being called for a foul, offensive nor defensive.
