(3) Bucks vs. (6) Pacers First Round Playoff Series Thread

[Reggie43]

the whistles are so crazy pro Pacers

Bucks shot 15 more free throws (32-17) while getting called for 8 less fouls (18-26)

Its nice to see the Pacers finally put a decent effort defensively

You know what burns me? Doc Rivers is going to probably get another season because they were hurt and he "can't really be blamed for the loss".

it will be giannis , middleton,lopez, and beverly's last year...some of the other players won't be there.

Didn't watch this game but seen people talking about this:



(For those that didn't catch it, he also hits a chick in the side of the face at the start of the video.)

Should be interesting seeing what the consequences will be.

thanks TMZ.

That's a life time ban to send a message I think. Honestly, he is washed anyways and like the Malice in the Palace the NBA will need to send a message (and they are already on high alert after Ja Morant saga and then the betting scandal). Wouldn't it be funny if CP3 was still over players association and had the power to save him but chose not to?

Im about to absolutely shock you:

This can be the case and the other team will still get more egregious calls.


Crazy right?

Sure for somebody who didnt watch the game or where you expecting the refs to give the Bucks free throws everytime they foulbait off marginal contact?

[Reggie43]

Bucks fought hard the whole series despite the injuries so kudos to them but lets not act like the Pacers needed the refs help to win game 6 because thats just dumb especially off a few missed calls that happened to both teams.

that doesnt make any sense.


I have no horse in this race and the officiating was pretty blatantly in the Pacers favor. Most notably Haliburton whacking Bev on a huge incident at the end of the quarter. 3 potential points on the board.

There were a good 3-4 incidents after too. I dont really care to look them up but I didnt make that comment for shits and gigles.

[Reggie43]

Just saw the clip, Pat Bev going sideways on a three pointer to draw body contact is definitely not a foul and a good no call.

Any more "bad calls" you want to share?

I can't think of an exact precedent to follow as a guideline. I'm going to say throwing a basketball isn't as bad as charging into the stands and beating up the wrong guy but Artest being heated is more understandable, he just effed up beating on an innocent man. I don't care if the punishment is excessive as I'm not a fan of Beverley but if I was commissioner he gets suspended 20 games with the promise Id come down much harder if anything like this happens again.

You clearly dont know any rules

[Reggie43]

This is not a foul purely based on the rules.

[tontoz]

It's not being called consistently right now. Sometimes it is called other times it isnt. I think they are trying to stop calling fouls when guys jump into the defender but sometimes they still do.

Just the other day Luka got a call when he jumped into the defender and it was more obvious than Beverly's.

[Duffy Pratt]

Defender is in the air and there would have been no contact, except Lowry changes his direction to initiate contact.

The comments to the NBA rules states “ A player is never permitted to move into the path of an opponent after the opponent has started his upward jumping motion.”

Thus, this is either an offensive foul by Lowry or incidental contact. And I completely agree that this is not being called consistently. Almost nothing is. Not from game to game, not within an individual game.
