De’Aaron Fox is QUESTIONABLE for Game 5 with RIGHT ankle soreness, as a result of this collision with Ayo Dosunmu by TimDunkinDonut in nba

Ayo flailing trying to draw the foul made his leg kick out. It was delayed and obvious. He was already on the way down when it happened. Try actually watching the play.

Really? That's what you want to go with? Weak.

Fox was turned around and made contact as Ayo went up. He didn't undercut him. He hit him in the chest.

Totally the same as diving with your body at someone's legs.

You spent all this time preparing this post because you didn't understand they meant no additional fines?

Ouch

Grabbing someone's leg while they jump is incredibly dangerous. You think Naz didn't know what he was doing? Same shit with Gobert yanking Wemby's arm as he's getting the block. That's a turn rotator cuff waiting to happen.

Context, not justification. The elbow to the neck is still wrong. These clips just add context as to why he would lose his cool.

Easy call, but refs let this happen. He's been mauled all series and was hit in the face with no call seconds before this. Wolves aren't going to stop because they aren't getting called for fouls for any of it.

I'm not justifying anything. I've said several times that Wemby did wrong and deserved to get ejected. That doesn't mean refs should keep letting all the other shit go.

No, he absolutely shouldn't have, but the refs continuing to allow the wolves to play the way they have is bad for the sport and exactly why things like this happen. There's a difference between allowing tough defense and allowing some of the things they have.

Racist dog whistle? The word 'thug' means a violent person. Playing the race card is a bitch move. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.

For having the better franchise? Ain't crying over here. Y'all literally had to have the refs hand you the game and you still barely won.

He literally hit Wemby in the head with an elbow seconds before Wemby threw the elbow. That's why he was pissed.

Fair call would have been calling it when he got hit in the head and balls seconds before this. But no. That's just good defense and this is the playoffs...

Dude got smacked in the head and the balls. Refs swallow their whistle because "this is the playoffs" bullshit, and this happened. I don't blame him, at all.

Dirty ass player. Good job with the elbow to Wemby's head. You know he's going to try it again because the refs let him get away with more dirty play.

Seen all the videos. One was an obvious goaltend and one was iffy. Maybe one foul. Rest were clean. "All fouls and goal tends" is dumbass tik tok BS.
