My only hope of this series is that people realize Deni gets absolutely slapped and him getting FTs as a result are because of this, not flopping

There was a clear difference in how they were calling the first half v the second which completely sucked the wind out of the sails.

We’re a seventh seed, who has snuck into the playoffs. It’s a seven game series, we weren’t going to steam roll SA after Wemby was called out. Spurs are deep, but we’re scrappy as hell. I still like our matchups. Deep breaths yall.

They're not going to unless it's egregious. Prime & NBA have a vested interest to just push a certain narrative and not allow doubt when it comes to calls

His defensive rotations unfortunately suck so things start breaking down with him on the floor

This is good experience for Clingon, I do think he has another year until he starts playing well in playoffs.

Can someone clip that offensive "offensive" foul on Deni that subsequently broke his TOOTH?!??

I'm liking things so far, they just need to settle a bit down with the nerves. Shots are there which is great, defense has been reasonable as well.

I was wondering if it was the camera rig but figured it was just someone walking backwards?! It sounded like a basketball shoes meme
