Let's hope Jaylen has gotten this out of his system, especially if Porzingis isn't available for a while.

I had to watch SVG take a team with Michael Finley and Rashard Griffith and drive it into a ditch my freshman (and, thankfully, Stan’s only) year in Madison. I think I’m more disgusted by him tonight.

Every single time. The defender literally contests any shooters post-whistle flop every single time in 2024.
As about a billion other posters have noted - not like that. They throw up a half assed hand. They dont jump into a player who isnt expecting hard contact and encroach their landing space. There is a reason why that behavior is a flagrant.
This is 1000000% shit heel stuff from Bam

Celtics are going to win a game by close to 20 points where Tatum shot 5/1, Brown shot 7/18, and KP missed most of the second half.

I'll take it.
And they got a BRUTAL whistle.
I'm usually on the side of "the refs aren't screwing us" but tonight... woof, some blatant fouls not called and then soft stuff at the other end, majority favoring MIA.

And if they do it in a blatantly dangerous way they deserve the the fucking flagrant that's going to get called on them.
I agreed that this was a flagrant while the review was going on. Every player contests post-whistle shots…..Jesus F, our own coach blocked a shot and wants them to do it!

Good win. This Heat team really is trash. Hope we get some good news on KP.

What the fuck in is Wright going for down 16 with 93 seconds? Couldn't take out Tatum's ankle so go for the knees?

All contests are not created equal, and hard close contests are not at all common

Show me a rule where you get whistled for a foul after the play? I believe it can only be a technical post-whistle.

(2) If the offended player is injured and unable to attempt his free throws, his coach will select one of the remaining four players in the game to attempt the free throws. (3) His coach will pick the substitute, who may not be replaced until the ball is legally touched by a player on the court. (EXCEPTION: Rule 3—Section V—e.) (4) The injured player may not return to the game. (EXCEPTION: Rule 9-Section II-a-(2)) (5) A player will be ejected if he commits two flagrant fouls in the same game.

I have never seen another player in someone’s landing space and turn into a guy with his hip on a play like that after the whistle.
NBA players don’t contest into guys to block practice shots. Bam chose not to elevate to contest the slow release shot by Tatum well after the whistle but to slide into and under Tatum. He chose to do that.

Dude our coach came on the floor to block a shot. Imagine if Spo did this and Tatum landed on him? Could you imagine this place?
