As soon as the yelling started, I was entertained lol
The rulebook says a technical not an ejection.
Mad dog are u dumb or idiot I agree with Stephen a not u mad dog just be quiet
It literally says in each pro league's rules handbook. Players can't direct any profane or derogatory language towards an official or be subject to a warning or a ejection or a suspension for disrespecting game officials and other personnel.
Chris Russo used to be relevant. Now he’s a buffoon.
Whos this skip bayless wannabe whiner lmao get him out
Why is Mad Dog not talking about 86 Celtics, or 88 Lakers, or 90 Pistons, or 38 Knicks? What is he doing talking about actual sport that is being played in this day and age? I mean Bird and McHale would beat those Bulls and Nuggets combined, with Wilt dunking over 5 ft guys
$400 nose bleeds at the United Center??? Whether it's a rule or not, NBA surely doesn't want to lower ticket prices, so FIX IT.
Convinced refs switch up who they give the benefit of fouls to on a yearly basis so the same people and teams dont keep dominating.
Bulls fan and this made me mad
If the players can get fined for flopping after the fact, the refs should be getting fined for these terrible calls
serbian night, croatian night, any balkan night 👎🏻🤣
mo.. ther f…ker, call the foul is what he said, and got tossed, a tec on the ref, fkn idiot
I heard the referee is an Albanian. 🙂
NBA should make it an official rule to not hurt the refs feelings
Mad dog is a moron
Lets make it plain and simple , they hate serbs and thats it …
Props to Stephen A, my sentiments exactly.
For a guy that capes for the “old school game was hard bbcs it was tough”, he sure is being way too offended over a verbal 2 second confrontation.
woke nba
Note to Chris Russo: The Denver Nuggest are not the world champions. If anything, they are NBA Champions or American Champions. Stop talking that nonsense, you ignorant fool. There's life and sports outside of the USA.
What word?
I hate Stephen A on the Cowboys, but he is 1000% right here
Let's all listen to Mad Dog scream about the need for decorum. 🙄
Just lost all respect I had for maddog for this bs. For a man who has "been around" for so long, and seen so many games and players play live, he should know that this kind of call would be considered bs in any era.
Luka Dončić is half part of that Serbian heritage night ..His Father is Serb…
Stephen A vs Mad Dog!
That canine gets instructions to go out there and be a clown every night
Italian guy talking BS
Just give Jokic same amount of free throwsike Giannis amd Embiid, he would be 35 ppg.
Now after 2 ejection, and 2 time 5 fouls they took his average from 30 ppg to 27, 5 ppg
mad dawg bruh go back to baseball
Mad Dog is correct, but it should have just been a single Technical Foul !!!
Embied,& KD get away with saying far more,& just as bad…Mad Dog is a moron.
Giannis 32 FT, we have another FT merchant in the process. The whole Denver team have 32 FT in few games, garbage officials as always.
I'm with Steven A.
Who is this white guy yelling, get this man of the show, he dont deserve to be here!
It's nice to see that the NBA and their referees (aka the authorities) are teaching people, young and old alike, to not trust authority figures and to always question them.
America where is fredoom of speach you are doomed america is finished like country its so sad.
NBA refs are soft
That dudes deserves to be fired man.
Jokic lead the league in points in the paint…post up…drives from post up… 5 ft's. How a player who lives in the paint get barely 5 ft's?
