    Yeah, that was a bullshit call. Jumping forward into a 3 is anything but a natural shooting motion.

  2. Prestigious-Boss-297

    I thought the same too🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

  3. marx_marvelous__

    Exactly the same move that KAT got called for an offensive foul

  4. Mindless_Example_549

    Would love an actual explanation on how that’s a foul

  5. Skunedog48

    Luka jumped into Towns AFTER he landed. Somehow that’s a foul on Towns? GTFO 😤

  6. SelfDestructIn30Days

    Can’t get within 3 feet of Luka, that’s an unofficial rule. KAT should have known better, obviously.

    Imagine the wolves getting any 50/50 love. Totally different series at least 2-2 after tonight, maybe 3-1 wolves.

    Entire game was shit reffing. Even the last 0.2 seconds they insisted on playing.

  9. Yeah Luka became a pro at this move and didn’t get this memo. Motherfucker is one of the best actors in the league.

    NBA forgets about a lot of rules they make. They are in an abusive relationship with whiny stars.

    After seeing the replay of the Ant foul a few times I think Ant literally never even touched him, so by that standard I guess we’re lucky it wasn’t a flagrant.

  12. “kat needs to stop fouling!!” (half his fouls are shit embiid does 10 times a game)

  13. cheekycheeksy

    Scott Foster don’t play by your stinking rules, man

  14. Offense-initiated contact which is called on the defender is making the NBA borderline unwatchable. All the foul hunting, FT merchants abusing the game. F them all

    Yeah, but this is Luka golden baby boy Doncic, the new face of the NBA. I wanted to smash my fucking TV with the lame ass bullshit calls he was getting tonight. Fucking NBA doesn’t want Minnesota in the finals, it’s been obvious from game one.

    NBA is just inherently corrupt because:

    A)the lightest contact with a shooter is commonly a foul, incentivizing players like Luka to bait by leaning into defenders, literally create moves solely to set up contact, and make enough of a scene until the refs feel compelled to give him one.

    B)fouls are called or not called solely based on referees’ shaky jurisdiction. They can just conveniently “decide” to miss a whack on the arm or “think” they see contact based on where they’re standing.

    C)Fouls vs non-fouls are STILL NOT reviewable for literally no good reason when you can challenge severity of a foul or possession.

    Clearly, the “rule changes” are just posturing by the NBA to make them look better. In truth, the current set-up allows them to improve the odds of their preferred outcome happening. There are no checks or balances for things like this and everybody is just used to it because it’s been this way for so long, so they’ll easily get away with it.

    If they cared about maintaining integrity with officiating, they’d immediately change the rules so that if a shooter leans into contact, it’s an OFFENSIVE foul rather than a no-call or a defensive foul. That’d leave no room for doubt as to how it’s SUPPOSED to be called.

    What would Luka Flopic do without those calls?
