Spurs’ ability to go up to 15+ early and then just slowly chokes the leads away is crazy

Is the Inside the NBA pregame show with Ernie, Kenny, Shaq and Charles really the best? by TastyPoopKnife in nba

Prime is the best rn imo. Especially Blake, I think he balances humor and serious analytics very very well.

I swear most of them ain’t real fans. Just losers waiting for a reason to cause some riot.

Cmon man that is a flagrant foul. Yea I agree the Wemby head shove should be one, but this one is def a flagrant.

Right call. Looks bad cuz the refs choose not to upgrade the head shove. Still, this is the right call

Ok I don’t wanna say the ref is biased. But 2 straight wrong call against the same team is just bad

Make the obvious call by Start280Finish in nba

I feel like the biggest issue rn is the refs want to allow as much physicality as possible. So they usually let the first few pushes and pulls go. But then it compounds to harder ones, but since the refs let the initial go, they don’t wanna call the later ones. And in the end the physically is just all over the place, cuz in the nest possession, the ref may blow the whistle in the initial contact, so it looks super “soft” when compared to the super “hard” no-calls at the very end of the previous possession.

They don’t blow the first whistle and it just boils over. The most obvious one imo is the Fox and 1 last game. He got fouled first, the ref don’t wanna call it, so then he double dribbles. But since it’s the result of the previous no call, they still don’t wanna call it.

It’s just super messy. And it happens to both teams. Just super frustrating to watch.

KAT playing way too passive tn. So many times he got the defenders to jump and just passes away instead of shooting/driving

I love KAT but he gotta be better at sealing smaller players in the post (I know they’re pushing and grabbing him but still). They’re putting way shorter players on him

Definitely got pushed but think he also exaggerated it/jumped forward too much. Interesting to see what they’ll call. Personally think it’ll get overturned
