    Definitely foul baiting there. Tech was warranted. Dude was complaining the entire play and after

    Not sure about the technical foul call, but seems pretty warranted. Dude stopped mid-play to argue about a no-call in the post that looked like physical contact he initiated. Then he did a rip through move while not facing the basket, which is now considered a non-basketball move and should be a no call. Then he proceeded to complain more after the play. Basically tried to show up the officials.

    Im convinced Adam Silver has some sort of humiliation kink at this point where he gets to role-play being Td up by the refs. What in the fuck is stopping him from taking action

    I won’t comment on the state of the refs overall, but the first contact is started my Jokic and the defenders hand are close to his body and feet are set. It’s not a foul. The second one Jokic swings through this an obvious foul baiting gesture that they singled out some years ago as one they would crack down on. Jokic was tilted and made some bad decisions.

    If they aren’t going to whistle Jokic for plugging those elbows into people’s ribcages to get space underneath then they don’t need to whistle light contact in the post either. Fair is fair.

    Jokic fault for yelling the NBAs fault for not firing some of these trash refs that are clearly fixing games. It’s just a bad look for any league when you can have someone blatantly do terrible at their job and never get fired. The league is a fun watch, but for sure the refs are in their pocket and control games heavily. Whether it’s for betting or for the NBA to keep certain teams in the race for ratings idk.

    On one hand I hate stars complaining to the refs. On another hand I hate poor officiating. Feels like a lose lose because one of both is inevitable right now.
