I don’t know what basketball is anymore if this is not a foul.

Absolutely insane call. This better be on shaq’tin a fool.

It doesn’t even make sense because Buddy didn’t block the ball anyway?? So it’s not like it was just follow-through. Jaylen still had possession. Buddy just touching the ball does not automatically make it okay to hit his head, what are these refs smoking??

And furthermore, why did the Pacers get automatic possession afterwards??

Definitely not enough to overturn it. Although clearly refs don’t fucking care

Don’t even care, white was WIDE open. Bad decision, bad outcome

Buddy straight up told Mazzulla that he fouled him. The video was just posted. This game was 100% stolen by the refs.

And of course that ref went to high school in Indiana totally not biased at all

No Tatum and Pacers had refs working for them to barely beat us at home. Still a frustrating loss but we’d beat them 3 out of 4 times if both teams are at full stength

So what the nba is telling me with this overturned call, is it is completely okay to hit your opponent as long as you touch the ball.

Is it that he touched the ball first?? Fine, next time any one of our guys gets a hand on the ball during a shot I want him to punch the shooter in the nuts too

You guys need to relax, like damn. It’s on brown for taking a triple team shot
meowhatissodamnfunny
Initial shot I saw I thought it was clean. But never saw the hit on the head. Not sure how you could give that a non-call, let alone *overturn* the correct call. Refs fans eating tonight

Worst part was they actually called the foul, then watched it in slow mo , and then decided to reverse it to the wrong decision??

CLEARLY a foul. It’s like a definition of a foul. But still, pass it to White, for the love of God!
Trance_Plantz
Ahhh. Gotcha. So all you gotta do is get ball first and then contact is ok. Kinda like soccer. Got it.

Guys! Can’t you see that Brown attacked Hield with his head?
SanSoren
Derrick White wide open and could have run more time off. Why is he driving against 3 players to put it in the hands of the refs anyway. Typical Jaylen man

Foul all day! No question! Foul! ….. 🧐still foul

Buddy Hield told Joe that he fouled him

Pacers fan – that call was absolute bullshit. Game should have gone into overtime. The referees completely took control of the game at the end of the fourth.

Regardless if it is a shooting foul or not, JB played hero ball when he could’ve pass it to white
bah-blah-blah
I know it’s not the purpose of this post but why didn’t Mazzulla call a time out when the ball crossed half court?
We could’ve run a set play, got a shot off, and left no time on the clock. Big missed time out in my view.
Try-Imaginary
Im a neutral fan, and it looked like he got the ball, and shouldn’t have been a foul
The Pacers player got his hand on the ball, and while he did, JB’s momentum takes him into the arm. Since the ball was contacted, the rules for it being foul follow the same rules as a shot block, with any other contact being incindental. At least thats how I would expect it to be called, and the refs seem to have seen the same thing. But again, I dont have a dog in this fight. <shrug>

His hand was on the ball, but his forearm hit his head. Definite foul.

Lebron gets that call let’s be honest. Haliburton too.

What’s even the point of replay if they still get it wrong?

Lol boston fans now feeling how lakers fans felt last season with that tatum foul

ALL BALL

Lmao sports are getting so soft
How is this even debatable as a foul? Are you allowed to play defense or not? Smh…

Honestly JB had a great game but I would call this karma in a way.. he had made a lot of cheap shots throughout the game..

Buddy wasn’t even arguing it lmao.
I’ve never felt so cheated before.
