Ref Yells BACK at Popovich

No technical was called

[@ajeyaran1]

I gotta give some props to the ref for not giving a tech in the first place. Most other refs would've done that.

[@Pitereczek100]

u both need glasses

[@ajeyaran1]

Why?

[@kcfilmstudio]

Piotr, answer the question.

[@Aussieduderivs1]

Piotr C massive L

[@Deepthinking1234]

probably because he knows he fucked up there

[@mkb9122]

i like that refs patience

[@vika0194]

Natsu END Dragneel because he is not following the rules? Clear ejection

[@thomasrobloxandminecraftdu8692]

That wasn't even a foul... San antonio's just used to getting biased calls

[@P4PKing]

If you say that isn't a foul then you literally have no knowledge of basketball whatsoever. He clearly smacked the arm, no ball contact at all.

[@DextahPC]

The fact that no technical was called just goes to show the respect that even the refs have for Popovich.

[@joshuagavile4775]

Gregg Popovich & Phil Jackson are the type of coaches that even the officials respect.

[@FrankMilanese]

We're tied at 85, I thought he said Retire at 85 lol

[@HokageEzio]

Pop found a ref that would actually clap back at him, dude probably doesn't even know what to do at this point lol.

[@aztecempire9970]

Hokage D. Ezio the ref would get bitch slap by pop w9th them 5 NBA finger rings

[@iankim5582]

Hokage D. Ezio Bitch ass nigga get ur dumbass back to reddit

[@Eyoballin]

lol pops an army vet I don't think it would phase him how a ref responded back lol

[@natsudragneel4144]

Hokage D. Ezio Pop was in the army and would bitch slap that ref dumbass

[@Eyoballin]

@M M U wouldnt know that cause uve been propogandized since kindergarten to view anything other than blind allegience as hate **

[@GrimeBot-io7ho]

That ref yelled back, but you can tell in his face that his heart wasnt in it.

[@robertortega5795]

The whole game looked they the spurs didn't care but i think Pop got irritated cuz the refs called foul when there was no foul on the spurs but didn't call a foul when they were obviously fouled

[@meldeebueno]

That's a foul on the elbow.

[@cytrex1o1]

refs ready to square up lol

[@cjinl2428]

That wasn't yelling back. He just responded with a few words and walked away.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

probably any other coach would have got technical, but pop is just too much legend and too much respect for him :D

[@combeebrian247]

0:38 Dat face lmao

[@mattwallace6873]

That reff missed the next game due to rest

[@taylorjackson7964]

Pop was right in this situation, he saw that the referee was not in the proper rotation at all and let him have it

[@migol1984]

The ref looks like he used to be a gangster in his day. I'd still take Pop over him any day in a shouting match. I can see gangster ref losing to a marine coach. haha You can even see it, Ref thought "I'm not gonna take it anymore.." shouts back, Pop just turns around unphased. lol

[@hfr8343]

migol1984 dumbest shit I ever heard

[@migol1984]

Ogre Doug really? So is i take it "ogre doug" is the second dumbest thing you've heard, eh?

[@hfr8343]

migol1984 That made no sense. Let me guess 2000's baby?

[@migol1984]

I'm not into telling you my stats. There is grindr for that, Ogre. You are welcome.

[@hfr8343]

migol1984 crickets my nigga

[@benjaminvo1872]

This becoming like baseball out there lol

[@okeen5265]

Pop's gonna make his point whether the ref is half a court away or half a foot away.. No holds barred.

[@Twinzzzzz]

Ref didn't give the T cuz he knew he fucked up not calling the foul..

[@_Maxten]

if i recall correctly this was the game shabazz napier dropped 32 and had a buzzer beating assist

[@RaphialLee]

greg has been yelling a lot this year

[@CyberCheese392]

That ref wasnt even close to where the play occurred. There needs to be more refs?

[@qiushihu2909]

Spurs blew a 11 points lead in 38 seconds

[@Fakename70]

Sounds like former Sonics broadcast partners Calabro and Johnson reunited in Portland

[@matthewgorospe7298]

Two hands Lee #ch'monLee!

[@grammaticalerorr4654]

You can hate Warriors, Cavs, Lebron, Curry, Westbrook, Harden and anyone else in the league but you can't never hate Popp and Spurs.

[@DenizCDemir]

prob didnt give the tech bc he realized that he made a mistake not calling the foul

[@brigspearman2171]

That’s nuts wow

[@nancyflores8620]

Actually Pop was in the Air Force, they're much more difficult to get into, the higher IQ the better.

[@CzarsSalad]

c'mon pop it's a no bearing game :p

[@MattyBelle]

How do you miss that call.... it was so obvious

[@rankr194]

Pop such a nasty coach, refs don't give him techs cause that's basically normal Pop.

[@andrewmojzer2337]

Ref was way late to get back. No way he could make that call.

[@kevinwang2723]

I love Pop, although this is not a must win game, he just want his team and refs to do the right things at all the time, he's all about fundamentals that is clearly expressed by the Spurs team, Duncan in the past, now Kawhi.

[@bencarlos6159]

Damn stupid refs. They are too fucking slow to run and see the foul and too fucking slow to run out of the way in court for a fast break. What do we do with them?!

[@KB24sTaTuS]

only pop and phil won't get that T

[@RipKobe_824]

POP IS THE GOAT SO OF COURSE THE REFS HAVE TO GIVE HIM RESPECT ... BTW IM A LAKERS FAN AND PHIL IS NOT BETTER THAN POP

[@rondorenberg1416]

He was wright

[@WaterfallWhispering]

ref missed the call, then yells back at the coach, terrible, ref should never get emotionally over worked cuz then u really cant call a good game. should of just given a technical. I am sure he got a call from the nba officals office about that lil confrontation.

[@cythegrate9989]

I'd throw Pop out every time, I don't have the patience lol

[@YZdude]

Refs dont have the balls to throw pop out

[@itiswatits504]

all тнeѕe yrѕ waтcнιn pop ι never ѕeen нιм cυrѕe

[@Ryu-ib3ip]

the ref was sprinting full force and no where near the play. youtube comments be toxic af

[@Ryu-ib3ip]

The ref was not near the play he was busy running back up the floor. People are quick to say he has bad judgement.

[@danangdwiatma6158]

dees nutz

[@cristianalpizar9735]

The ref was campaign...he needs to run not be behind of the action

[@matthewbradley5883]

trump vs obama

[@heitorsiller]

Clean defense, Lee was too soft and slow.

[@superfans2324]

who wont be mad if you were the coach

[@user-mz3lt2gc8q]

after using 0.25 speed and close look at two angles 0:04, 0:42 pause one frame after another, it's a no foul and clean hands on the ball. Lmao Popovich is the GOAT.

[@Doramuotoko]

that's a clean block tho, even lee himself didnt react much cuz he admitted so

[@scottsullivan1487]

Shawn Lim no it's not he got his arm not hand idiot

[@lokeijak]

Scott Sullivan slack him a break. dude can't even open his eyes all the way

[@sjn5401]

wish refs did this more often, shut those spoiled baby coaches up for once

[@epic-tastic4440]

Spoiled baby coach? Lol that's a new one.

[@sjn5401]

+Epic-Tastic.. lol true, I barely remember writing that, must've been tired/grumpy

[@YnBruce]

can you not see that it was clearly a foul... they showed the replay like 4 times

[@sjn5401]

Bruce.. true it was, maybe they should just keep some tissues on the side tables

[@jimmyrobinson5699]

soft. nothin in that. Pop even knows thats not a foul. hes jus tryna get a tech foul to fire his team up. thats all.

[@superfans2324]

Jimmy Robinson you better have your eye check or brain check

[@jimmyrobinson5699]

James H ooooo gonna have a hard time recovering from that burn 😂😒.

[@jimmyrobinson5699]

James H all he did was put his body in the way and put pressure on him. no contact. lee ain't the most athletic dude around either so that added to it. yeah sure he stick his hand up but his hand affected the missed dunk none at all: zero

[@scottsullivan1487]

Jimmy Robinson that was a foul he fouled his arm as hand is part of the ball

[@LakerLife]

Look closely. He was hit on his arm. It would have been an easy dunk otherwise.

[@wardsworld375]

Portland bench beat them and another point guard Killed Parker and Mills

[@25-8]

WARDS WORLD u do realize they only played 20mins right? because pop said they would play now with all the nba focus on resting players, they really didn't try to win the game with Leonard lol

[@wardsworld375]

No!! They tried to find some chemistry, and it still looks the same no production from the guards, no pick n roll defense, just hope it gets better in the Playoffs

[@25-8]

WARDS WORLD and? then why did Leonard only play 20mins and Aldridge 18 mins? Why did they rest them Friday night against the mavs? They don't really care for the rest of the games now that they have locked the second seed. Popovich said nobody was going to rest, Pop still had a right to be angry. I'm still sure Portland would of won if this wasn't in the end of the season and Nurkic being back and Spurs starters playing more minutes because of how fast and well he has fit in with them.

[@wardsworld375]

Okay.Okay Cool well I hope they play good D on Mike Connelly jr ..

[@petesapay8361]

are you guys stupid? spurs already had an 8pt lead then pop decided to pull his starters out of the game to give experience to his bench unit. if he continued playing his starters, the lead might blew up to 15+ points. you jail blazers fans are arrogant when in fact your team hasn't proved anything yet. when was the last time jail blazers won a chip? 40 years ago? shit franchise. 1st round exits.
