I like the video where Popovich is cursing and shouting and then makes eye contact with a Blazer and raises his eyebrows like, “You know what’s up, right?”

Warriors, easily.

The difference to me is the notion that the defender is not doing anything wrong. It’s like the sweep-through Durant did until later prohibited.

hateable for style? Gotta go eastern conference I’d say Raptors or Celtics. Celtics do the same annoying foul-seeking three point barrage as Houston but like not nearly as well. And the Raptors with Lowry and DeRozan not playing well i.e every playoffs ever are just completely unwatchable

It is not strange that people are ok with fouling as a strategy while also being not ok with calling fouls on things that aren’t fouls.

Well, this is ref-allowed, creative bullshit. Flopping.

You don’t need to change the rule—bonehead refs just need to stop calling the shit!

Honestly, I have no issue with away from the ball fouls being called flagrant, but your stinkass foul-shooter should still have to shoot them. Why can’t a team use what you’re bad at (poor shooting) to neutralize your chances of winning? Saying your player who is crap at shooting the ball should be helped out by the…

Don’t give continuation on fouls. He’s not an airborne shooter in any of those shots. This’ll never happen though

As Shoryuken! notes, these two ‘issues’ you describe could not be more different.

they are called free for a reason. the inability for a professional basketball player to not be able to shoot 70% from the line is criminal.

In the first one, I like the simultaneous raising of hands by the Spurs players on the court as they were all at different levels of WTF?!?

There is no logical congruence here...

1. Make your fucking free throws! (I mostly just haven’t heard any good solutions for it as far as rule changes, though)

Well, yeah. Hit the gym and practice your god damn free throws.

Oh come on they are not even remotely the same. In the first gif, what could Patty Mills have done to avoid a foul? Hands up, doesn’t step into Harden’s space, that’s ridiculous.

WOT ARE JOO TAHHKEN ABHOUT? I HAVE KAHNSTITUTIONAL RHHHIGHTS.

The guys been playing great these playoffs. Have you watched? Sounds like you haven’t

Mike Matheny praised the fan for taking the bullet “the right way,” noting that glory boy fans in Chicago or Kansas City would’ve demanded a stoppage to the game and drawn much more attention to themselves.
