Re: Thunder GDT
Saw a video of Ant dabbing up Gobert while saying cheating ass refs. Also in his interview called the refs out for the calls and said he would take the fine. Said didn't know how we won tonight with the refs.
Re: Thunder GDT
Good on him. It was there for all to see. The poor guy has to get another hip pointer just to get a foul call ffs, and even then he probably wouldn't get a whistle. I would like to see Finch lay it on the line too and stick up for Ant. It's happening far too often.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:38 pm Saw a video of Ant dabbing up Gobert while saying cheating ass refs.

Re: Thunder GDT
I think he gets really amped for these types of matchups and couldn't stand the fact that SGA was getting all these ticky-tack calls on his dribble drives and Ant got hammered on the arm on actual shot attempts right at the rim with no call.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:38 pm Saw a video of Ant dabbing up Gobert while saying cheating ass refs.

The other thing SGA does a ton of that bothers the shit out of me is push off with his off arm. Unfortunately it's probably going to take some other irritating flopper to get the refs to call an offensive foul because right now they totally let him get away with that BS.
Re: Thunder GDT
Ant scored 27 on 20 shots from the field tonight. Shai scored 37 on 20 shots. The difference being Shai getting awarded 10 more FT's. And that's a big part of why Shai is averaging 31ppg and Ant isn't.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:51 pmI think he gets really amped for these types of matchups and couldn't stand the fact that SGA was getting all these ticky-tack calls on his dribble drives and Ant got hammered on the arm on actual shot attempts right at the rim with no call.Crazysauce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:38 pm Saw a video of Ant dabbing up Gobert while saying cheating ass refs.

Shai is like the new James Harden. Gets away with pushing off all the time to create space and constantly gets rewarded with ticky tack foul calls. I don't understand why?

Well, no one was as egregious as Harden back in his peak! Yuck!KiwiMatt wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 10:00 pmAnt scored 27 on 20 shots from the field tonight. Shai scored 37 on 20 shots.

I blame a lot of this on the refs and SGA just takes advantage of it. I do think SGA got legit fouled on most those calls and probably should have had 10, may be 12 FTAs at most. But if they are going to call the defender for slightly impeding his path to the hoop with so little contact than they have to start calling that push off. That's on the refs.

Re: Thunder GDT
Just send the video to League of Shai pushing off so bad with his off arm that he punched McDaniels in the balls lol.KiwiMatt wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:27 pm One of the best wins this season.
Won against the bounce of the ball and the officiating.
Hate to harp on about it but the Timberwolves need to start putting heat of the league for these constant non-calls on Ant and KAT.
It appears it's easier to get foul calls in this league playing the 'finesse and flop' game like Shai than it is to drive to the hoop with pure aggression, getting hacked more often than once and still not get a call like Ant. I'm sick of it, and it's gonna cost us.
Shai shot more FT's tonight than the entire Wolves team who attacked the rim all night. Ant got 4, Shai got 16.
I'm so happy we won.
