[3cbPerfoance] “Looney leaning on AD’s neck. No call. This only reinforces more contact. Irresponsible officiating.”
At the elite level, players will push boundaries of rules to gain an edge. It’s on the officials to regulate it or it will escalate. Eg – pic below is from end of 1st half with Looney leaning on AD’s neck, no call. That only reinforces more contact. Irresponsible officiating. pic.twitter.com/mqMcVbgJq4

Pushing off the neck is serious. Like WTF. Looney already trying to injure AD as soon as he checks in just the 1st quarter.
I miss Dwight for this reason. Wish we had an enforcer on our team.
Why the fuck are his arms always so high up. But this is right – refs are enabling this type of play that injures others. See exhibit: Sabonis
That’s me (*3cbperformance). This is why you have guys leading with their elbows and forearms. You gotta nip that crap in the bud
What is the baseline ref looking at if that’s not a foul. These type of plays lead to teams one upping each other with frustration fouls that can end up being dangerous for both teams
I honestly didn’t expect Laker fans to be this soft after watching Kobe for 20 years. It’s the playoffs, it’s physical. No one was trying to hurt AD.
If this is the call I am thinking of it literally changed the game.
If they make that call it is Lakers ball down 5 with the ball to end the half.
Instead they grab the offensive board. Klay makes a 3. AD turns it over. Slurry makes a 3.
Down 11 at the half.
#DIRTY ASS TEAM DIRTY ASS SCREENS DIRTY ASS REFS
Give TT some 2nd and 3rd quarter minutes with his goal is to get as many hard fouls in without getting s flagrant
Draymond does this all the time too. How else would they get rebounds.
Someone post this on Twitter and tag the NBA refs
Bitch ass refs
I’ve played a ton of basketball in my life and yeah sometimes your arms and hands hit people when you’re down low, but I don’t know if i ever leaned on someone’s neck. Id know immediately if i did, it would feel weird
Should be an easy call every time
Fuck Looney. This Guy pissed me so much.
With them not calling contact up around the neck, Looney throwing his arms out at the shoulder level and above makes a lot more sense. You wonder if he still is doing that when he catches AD in the head if they called it on him one of the times he did it last night.
They’ll continue with it since refs clearly ignore it along with the illegal screens.
Just do it back! Refs ain’t calling shit
At the other end Bron would get hacked by multiple people and he doesn’t get most of the calls.
