Dangit, @AHF has me beat.  I must exert my gif-dominance before it's too late ....

Reality:

In the refs head:

[kg01]

Ain't it grand how, all of a sudden, everybody's a frkng basketball snob now?

"Oh I just love the way the game is called now.  That's basketball at its purist, blah, blah, blah..."

Everybody's freaking Tex Winter all of a sudden.

Trae's free throws have been cut in half. That's not good. Don't want to hit the panic button just yet, but once defenses see the refs are not giving calls things will get very physical.

Not sure if that is hostile or an unwelcome advance.  Probably both.

It's rather convenient the media is pumping all of this officiating stuff up after Trae has a "bad" game. It's like they were waiting for him to have an off night when there are other star players who have clearly been struggling with the new rules since the start of of the season. They pretty much led with Trae and then threw in Harden, Beal, and Doncic to make it look fair. ESPN is straight garbage for that.

It's BSPN for a reason, bro.  I refuse to watch.

All that coverage was pre-made and put on ice until he had a bad game.  Ridic.

LMAO! Screw these refs man. 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Smh

 

WOW, just WOW!

[GameTime]

Harden just went 16/19 from the free throw line today. I hope Trae gets the same treatment tomorrow.

Last Year, it was a League official touching Trae that ended his Playoff Run....  Now This. 

 

[RandomFan]

Meanwhile, Bron Bron is getting away with trash like this....just...what?

Imma bear hug you like @kg01 going after a Twinkie, but y'all gonna let me shoot free throws after right? Coo cool.

If it were so obvious that he did something to the ref, why did it take almost 24 hours for a fine to come down?

And look what happens tonight.  James Harden shoots 19 FTs, after all of the complaining about him not getting any calls.

 

Let's see what Trae gets tonight night in Philly.

And this guy had to nerve to say that a "hostile act" occurred?

What did Trae do?  Pinch him on his ass as he bumped into him?

No not even a pinch just a two finger swipe! 

[MarylandHawk]

The one thing that worries me about these “rule changes” is that it gives referees too much discretion on contact plays. With betting being allowed, refs can easily swing games. They should apply the news rules like the NFL did pass interference replay. It needs to be clear and obvious an offensive player is creating the contact when the defender has an established position.  The reason I put rule changes in quotes is because the calls the Trae is not getting are not a part of the rules changes. They just decided they aren't going to call fouls against him.
