“It was a bit wack…but it was a legit ejection, we guess.”
Draymond green can yell at a ref for a full minute yelling cuss words and spitting out of his ugly ass face, but let Giannis flex his arms for .5seconds after a poster and he’s fucking satan
What are we mad at here? the rule or the call? Because this has been a tech for a long time now, you can celebrate, just not “at” the opposing player. As per the rule, this is a tech, don’t be mad at the refs. I didn’t watch this game so just seeing this in a bubble, so maybe I’m missing context, but I see nothing wrong with the call itself. If we are mad about the rule, that’s a different conversation.
This is equivalent to a boxer celebrating a KO of his opponent.
Just imagine the emotions that go through you on a dunk like this in an NBA game.
Refs should allow the players to taunt and yell as much as they want since bottling those emotions during the whole game is a recipe for something much worse later.
Also… it is a fucking entertainment product and fans are the people who allow you to have your paychecks refs.
Blame the weak ass taunt rules, not the refs enforcing them.
They’re facing each other through the play. They land in the same position and suddenly its taunting? He turns away in less than a second
The rules may be interpreted in a way to make this call. Even if he looks away quickly. The rules should be changed so there is no foundation for a shitty call like this to be made.
these reports should have clips of the offenses where available
Honestly taunting should be encouraged 🤷♀️
A second of emotion is too much
