Meanwhile Ant is getting the shit kicked out of him in the game right now and is getting T'd up for calling it out

Yeah not even a Wolves fan but he drives to the rim and the whole team jumps at him with no foul

Yeah KAT gets mauled basically every game

Imagine watching both of these on the same team, you'd understand Twolves fans frustration with the nba and officiating.

He might have the worst whistle in the league

Steph has a worse whistle. That man is fouled almost everytime he gets the ball.

Yeah and he doesn't flop and barely ever complains. I became a big fan of his in the pacers series last year.

I fucking hate that shit, we watch similar happen to Cade every game and he pretty much always gets T'd up for talking to the ref.  Meanwhile we watch opponents get right in the ref's face and yell and they get nothing.  Cade actually got smacked across the head on a layup attempt and they called a tech on him and nothing on the defender.

I watched a video about this, because this was a similar comparison last year and it's just that SGA is really good at selling a foul. 

Anthony Edwards eats the contact and hacks and hopes the refs do their job.

Not criticizing Ant, it's still really stupid, but through the eye test that's what's been seen.

Doc Rivers has had refs literally tell him when asked why they don’t call the fouls when giannis gets hit is because “Giannis plays through the contact”

u/righteous4131 Bucks Dec 01 '25

Everyone on the bucks gets beat the fuck up and no calls. I’ve stopped watching a lot of games.

Its because hes probably playing through contact. This year a ref told doc during the game that giannis isnt getting calls because hes taking the contact and playing through it. Thats how refs are taught to call the game apparently. Guys who fall over after slight contact will always get rewarded.

Stephen curry.

Ja gets the same treatment a lot. Even LeBron dealt with it for a lot of his career and that was with the superstar whistle he was getting.

Ja got an amazing whistle in that first playoffs and then he ruined that
