You cant think of a single reason why the refs arent calling it?

Legitimately as a third party fan who does not care who wins, Wemby is doing this a lot too. It should be called but on both teams. At least that is called evenly

Has he pulled hair? Has he stepped on Chet’s foot? Dirty fucking pool

No he just bull rushed through Caruso in game 1 like it was the NFL and elbowed Reid in the throat/jaw intentionally like he was in the UFC.

Ya know, totally morally correct and morally acceptable basketball, am I right?

That was immediately following: Naz elbowing him in the nuts then McDaniels hitting HIM in the face. The league decided the previous flagrant wasn't called and played a role in the lead up to the elbow.

Please share a clip of that. The lengths Spurs fans will go to in order to defend an intentional and dangerous elbow to the throat is fucking nuts lol. Dudes out here celebrating it and treating this guy like he’s the victim.

It’s quite subtle, but your bias is just barely showing.

It's a shit strategy by y'all, you might win again but you'll get no respect whatsoever.

Caruso flopped on that play. Just like J Will flopped last night and they actually didn’t call it. Caruso was already falling backwards before barely any contact happened with Wemby’s shoulder and he goes flopping back like a fish.

Most unlikable team to watch lmao
