[@donsolos]

NBA been rigging games for a loooong time. They literally got busted doing it and people wanna act like it was outside influences. Bullsheet

[@MrDingbat4life]

the incorrect kick ball call was easily the most game-altering one because that one turned what should have been a live ball turnover into a crucial lifeline to create that go-ahead donte three. the turner screen probably should have been a no-call too, but whatever, we take those i guess? i'm not willing to concede that indiana was "robbed of a win" because in both cases we could have potentially gotten defensive stops but the refs in the last minute definitely screwed up what was otherwise a super entertaining game 1.

[@peewee0224]

Yeah that’s why I loved the wolves nuggets game they just let them play which is what I wish they would do with the Knicks pacers.

Exactly, how do the refs not call an illegal screen there and then call a illegal screen on Myles Turner 30 seconds later for a screen that was way less illegal. Call the game consistently, if they're gonna call it tight or let them play, call it both ways fairly. And to call that with 13 seconds left in the 4th Q in a 1 point game of the east semis is such a joke. Embarrassing for the NBA who obviously want a Boston vs New York ECF. Watching this game gave me flashbacks of the 2002 Lakers vs Kings WCF

[@HypocritesExposd]

Thank you, Coach Nick! We just need consistency! If the players get away with it, they’ll continue to do it. Penalizing them one time will not dissuade them from doing it in the future.

[@tormentor91]

I'm 100% with you on the Brunson block. That's not marginal contact and the contact clearly happens before he touches the ball. I don't know what the referees were thinking there, but 99/100 times that's called a foul still. Moving screens are one of those things that refs seem to call randomly at times just to remind players to keep under control. To me there has never been a true consistency there anyway. The only surprising thing is that they decided to call it at the end of the game, which is quite literally the time where they're least likely to make such a call. The game overall was extremely fun to watch though. Glad Toppin didn't miss that dunk...

[@o.g.new-blood1681]

I like that they let the players get rough in the Paint..its bringin back the "Protect The Paint at all Cost" mentality when opposing players thought twice bout takin it to the rim

[@lstsxx]

Officiating basketball is nearly impossible! Especially at the NBA level, where the players are so big, strong and fast. In addition, more contact is allowed, particularly in the playoffs, and much of it comes down to advantage disadvantage.

Great video, anybody could check out a bart and Hahn radio show yesterday they had Steve Javi on, fantastic interview on fouls

[@antokarman2064]

I think this is the weakness of full contact physical plays. The refs have to tolerate some fouls so the game won't be slowed down to a crawl. That could be mentally taxing to the refs and led them to confusing a clear physical fouls to tolerable ones and vice versa. Which leaves players and viewers frustrated

Neismith flopped and got the call 2:30 left in the game (leading to free throws) . how could they not call the foul on Turner at the end of the game then? Again, it’s critical to note how the Neismith foul got called first. Whereby making it the first inconsistent foul call. Reframe this video in chronological order of questionable calls, then show all the other non-foul calls, lastly end with the play on Dante, and different (actuate) story is told! And maybe I missed the part of the video where the ball went off a Pacer and the refs called it on the floor out on Brunson and Thibbs needed to use the challenge to overturn it! Bad called game, the perception of us “benefiting” was only because we won, but it was equally bad both ways

I hate the interpretation when I’m playing. How many incidental arm slaps do you need when you’re trying to handle the ball. Maybe you don’t lose possession, but it’s messed up your rhythm and you might turn the ball over a second later. I’m sure that’s how Murray was feeling V Timberwolves.

[@rexxtheawsome]

I dont like witch hunts like this because it doesnt change behaviour it encourages refs to "make it right". Also, for example the screen you showed in the beginning by divencenzo, Nesmith does not sell that foul enough to draw attention. Divencenzo sells it well on Turner. You cant really complain about that. Vet players are really good at drawing attention to fouls ehile young players try to play clean and play through it. There is a balance you meed to strike so your not a free throw merchant or flopper but your also not getting cooked because your the only one following the rules.

[@jongray4828]

Crappy calls are part of the game, refs make bad calls just like they’re going to make good calls!

[@burlacuninel5981]

Glad there's no captain Picard in this one defending the refs

[@PhillipRPeck]

I think the refs have a really difficult job. However, I think lack of consistency in the rules and the application of the rules from the front office has only made it more difficult for them to interpret and make consistent calls. Furthermore, for years, players were incentivized to foul bait and flop and the league does a 180 in the middle of the season which only made the refs job harder. There are so many little things that are not called: players not fully going behind the baseline to inbound the ball after a made basket, lane violations on every free throw (just watch Ant commit a violation on his own free throw shot), jump balls where players swipe it well before it reaches the apex of the toss, carrying the ball instead of actually dribbling. The list goes on. Basically, there's no consistency and commitment to enforcing the rules which opens up the refs and the league to all kinds of questions about bias and shenanigans. Perhaps there needs to be a cleaning up and clearing up the rule book and an emphasis on adherence to the basic rules and style of the game. Great video as usual

[@caxelon]

and they say these teams play good defense. its just the refs not calling the fouls

[@plefevre]

I hated that call on Turner. As you say Nick, technically, it's a foul, just but that kind of screen is not called 100 times a game and to call it right then was deplorable. For what it's worth, Turner also got an illegal screen call in game 2 which I think was worse where Brunson flopped. I can't believe Turner keeps a cool head following these calls, I'd be going outta flipp'n mind. Turner dishes out his share of actual fouls, but these calls on him are at terrible times for the game play. The foul that was overturned by Brunson was a real shocker, he clearly crashes into Turner's shoulder as he rises to lay the ball up. How could they rule differently? I'm not rooting for the Pacers mind you, I'm just seeing a lot of terrible calls in this series.

[@OBJYN788]

Fun fact: the refs helped the 76ers out way more than the other way around. 76ers had the player with the most FTA in the series, more FTA than the Knicks as a team and had less overall personal fouls called on them. Cope, cry, seethe do whatever it takes to get it out of your system.

[@aw20000hdhdhdjdidn]

That stat really doesn’t mean much. Just because a player may be great at drawing fouls doesn’t mean the refs are favouring him. You need to asses the critical fouls at the critical moments. Game 2 is widely discussed as having been officiated controversially in the knicks favour, you should check those out since you’re clearly uninformed. You don’t have the information to make a call on officiating the entire series and using FTA isn’t a proxy at all so maybe look into the film before you suggest others weep and process.

[@OBJYN788]

@@aw20000hdhdhdjdidn exactly. Brunson earns his free throws legit… it’s an awful argument to be like “well um ackshully the 76ers deserved all the calls that’s my team and how do the Knicks even get calls like I don’t even watch them”. You want to talk about playing dirty? Embiitch should have been clearly ejected in game 3 after trying to intentionally injure two players. There are at least 3 examples of this being the case throughout the series. The NBA also came out and admitted that Maxey traveled in the 4 point play that essentially won Philly the game.
