[Highlight] Giannis is hacked multiple times, no call against Toronto
10 comments
The 1st Hawks game against Raptors was same thing. I have never watched a game last 10 yrs with close to the amount of hacking they let go for Raptors.
The problem for me is not just the hacking but how it’s not called consistently. Against Indiana they let a lot of hacks against giannis go but then if you brushed Siakams arm it was called a foul. At least be consistent if you are going to let them play physical
That shit looked like grade school defense. Just slapping wildly at the player, what the hell???
Why are the refs heavily favoring certain teams in terms of allowed physicality. God I really hate the refereeing in this sport. it’s just wildly biased, unpredictable and inaccurate.
This is getting bad dude.. I know he’s a tough person to call fouls on but not this tough..
There is such a bias against players who try to play strong. Gotta flop and flail, otherwise no whistle.
I thought the NBA protected its stars?
Pretty much how they defended him in 2019,realized the refs won’t call everything
Being someone who watches a lot of basketball I came to this conclusion. I just watched a bunch of FIBA basketball over the summer and have always watched college ball as well as the NBA. Why is the officiating night and day more consistent and better in international and college ball than the NBA? How can the best league in the world (the NBA) not have the best officials? My opinion is the NBA has agendas to fill. Of course they could have better officiating, but they would rather control whatever narrative they want. It’s impossible to totally rig a game, but over an 82 game season you can bet your ass they can sway things in their favor. If the NBA thinks like the rest of the mainstream media and wants Giannis in a major market, making sure the Bucks don’t succeed is a good start. Especially knowing how much Giannis values winning.
Time to let Thanasis get some minutes to throw a few guys around. When they played the warriors Rollins was being physical with Curry and Green and others started getting after him. Someone should have put Westbrook on his butt after his foul on Giannis in the kings game. If the refs won’t protect Giannis then Bobby, Thanasis and others need to let teams know that if they play that way they will get it in return.
