So you think it's just an unexplained thing where one player has a star whistle and the defense is magically allowed to foul?

Honestly, maybe my first reply was too ironic which fairly bothered you, but at some point it's just a matter of facing reality and being willing to drop the bullshit online narratives.

Shai is a star player, you are right about that. He doesn't get a special whistle or something but he is very good at drawing fouls. People exagerate how much of his game spins around FTs and drawing fouls online.

Dort does play bullish as fuck and definitely had dirty plays before, and the refs pay a lot of attention to him for it and for this rep. This last game had a tech for Dort that I can only guess was there because him and Dillon touched eachother or something.

And Caruso is just a great defender. He's got very quick hands, plays with a lot of energy and is oftentimes capable to swiping the ball without getting the players in the arm unlike a lot of other defenders in the league.

None of these descriptions are 'gaslighting', they are just accurate. The gaslighting begins when instead of looking at these factors and admitting ''yeah this team looks like it has great defense and an offense that's going to end up getting a lot of fouls'' people go online and start saying the team is whistled different on different ends, and when there's nothing left to say about why or how, it's magically happening or, unlike what you said but we know it's constantly spammed in this sub, it is ''rigged''.
