That’s weak af from Naz Reid
Went into that clip 100% expecting it to have been the Pistons who instigated
I guarantee there were two dozen fouls in the two college games today that were rougher than this one. Maybe Reid had early dinner reservations that he didn’t want to break.
That was just dumb. No reason for him to get pissed and no reason for Donte to start grabbing.
It started the play before when Donte plowed over Fontecchio. Stewart shoved him and then Gobert who put his arm around Stew (either to calm him down or pretend he was calming him down while saying something)
JB got tossed for saying something to a Twolves assistant that said something to his players.
That’s gonna be a lot of fines and suspensions
I didn’t see any punches thrown but Holland emerged with maybe a little blood. It looked possible that Donte may have scraped his face when they were entangled.
Not sure I’ve seen this before.
Sasser did a good job of pinning Divencenzo’s hands so he couldn’t do anything and refrained from whaling on him in his prone position.
Things just got serious:
Joel Embiid, SGA, James Harden are among the guiltiest party in foul baiting/grifting in the NBA.
Can’t say I watch much nba these days
I hate this line of argument
Shai gets to the line because he smokes guys off the dribble 15 times a game and they need to stick their arm out like a parking gate to stop him, at which point he rips his back arm through to shoot and get the foul
Ie, he gets calls because nobody can stay in front of him without touching him
This video is great (believe it’s @eric_shap ’s buddy)
Most “foul grifting” comes from authentically creating advantages that you then use to sell an actual foul. Does he accentuate contact? Sure. But you stop him from getting to the line by guarding him without contact
Long story short - guys get to the line by beating their man like a drum, not, like, cheating
Foul Grifter!
So you didn’t watch it eh
Stewart suspended for 2 games, Holland and Sasser for 1
Meanwhile Donte and Naz instigated the whole thing got 1 game.
NBA said Stewart got two games because of his past. Based on that logic, I get it.
Which is ridiculous. He never started the fight! Once Donte put his forearm on Ron’s throat, Beef came into his defense.
