Game Thread Mar 03, 2021 5:00PM MT: Jazz at 76ers

[Pinhead]

Set aside “the call”... the last two games the refs have allowed other teams to flat out abuse (excessively foul) the Jazz down low and call the slightest touch on the Jazz.

Crashing the boards is easy if you’re allowed to body check the guy in front of you.

Wow

The best is tomorrow when the last 5 minute report calls it a correct call... even though it was a hip check.

He was inside the arc and Bojan could have wrapped him up... it was a no risk proposition... if we lose I’m good with Quin taking the blame there. It’s ****ing math.

I don't understand how coaches don't understand this. I would say the vast majority of coaches don't foul in that situation. I would ever freaking time.
I don't get it. They need 3 points to tie you. They can't get 3 points with 2 free throws.

I don’t even give a **** if we win or not now. Seriously, is there some technicality or unwritten rule I don’t know about? How did they review that play and not give the jazz the ball?

I was watching the 76ers feed and their announcers thought for sure it would be jazz ball and were confused to why the sixers retained possession.
Then a few minutes later they said that they got an explanation for the call and they would talk about it when there was a break in the action. They never talked about the explanation though. I want to know wtf

Is it? Tell me how many times a small market team has won a NBA title. Hint they don't exist.

The thing that drives me crazy is that we really don't flop... they try to power through contact and actually try to make shots... the way basketball is supposed to be played. Because we do that we get fewer calls on those drives... refs look for a "reaction". Whereas if Joel (the biggest guy on the court) gets touched at all he over reacts and flails and gets a million free throws. It changes how you can guard him because the refs will give him calls.

Its the same thing on charges... a guy will barrel into a player in the post and the guy takes it in the chest or back sup a little and its a no call or a defensive foul... if he falls down at the right time... then its a charge.

Tricking the officials has become too lucrative. It isn't just the free throws... its just like with Harden... you can't put your hands in front of him or he gets a call... so he gets to play with a lot less ball pressure.

Especially once the clock had wound down and the guy had his back to the basket and was inside the three point line.

Isn't our coach like an analytical genius?

The flopping in the NBA has gotten to the point where they might as well start shooting with their feet and calling hand-ball penalties.

I remember last time we started complaining about calls it actually went the other way. Will be curious to see if there is a reaction one way or another.
