Tony Brothers heard the fax machine beep and saw a lil check from Adam Silver comin through. I don't usually complain about officiating but this series has been weird as fuck so far.
The refereeing is really what's making these games so hard to watch. Pull up a few playoff games from the late 80s-early 90s, and you'll certainly see a whole lot of hard play, but what's notable is how much more professional and on the ball the refs were back then. They knew when to let things stretch a bit and when to make calls.
Castle, Caruso and Draymond would just foul out four minutes in if the refs called everything.
Totally agree, I just think it should be an offensive foul instead
They called that shit for like a weak a remember Trae Dung getting called for it while he was still on the Hawks but the league gave up on the pretense pretty early.
Until these dog ass refs start calling it or they make rules around it players will continue to flop to try and draw fouls
They called it on Bron once (it was vs. the Pistons) and I think that may have been the last time they ever called it.
Embiid is the most egregious and blatant but SGA is still worst. Emsneed never saw a single ECF and his injury history can be partially attributed to throwing arround his 300 pound body like a ten year old. SGA won a title and two MVPs and was making his way into conversations he never would have otherwise.
