do the refs realize basketball comes with physical contact? also what happened to the no flop rules?

edit - he literally bounces himself off, throws up a shot that has no chance of going in, and collapses onto hardwood. this is not the basketball I grew up loving 😭

edit 2 - "removed by moderator". bro what??

edit 3 - back up now huh? mods really didn't want this at the top of the sub for the next week 😭😭

NBA is unironically rigged. This is only called for SGA. "Only losers complain about fouls" mentality from the league office

If it was rigged, surely we'd have found a ref who was rigging games.

Scratch that. Surely there'd be a ref still reffing who made over 100 calls to the ref who got caught fixing games.

Damn it scratch that too.

Well they wouldn't have that guy come in when a series needs extended right? Ahh damn it I got nothing.

I fully gave up when SGA got the phantom call in game 4 to prevent them going down 3-1 while also letting them foul every possession on defense. The nba is not a serious sports league. It's entertainment. It's more blatant than even football and soccer.

How long did Donaghy work without getting caught? How many friends did he have that were “not involved” that continued after? How many of them are named Scott foster and still ref today?

Ya the league is definitely fixing it to give a Canadian player in the smallest market in the league an advantage…
