[Highlight] Bam Adebayo is called for the foul on Cason Wallace. The challenge was not successful to the surprise of the Heat and Thunder annoncers (with replays). Heat and Thunder commentary
How was this upheld? This needs to be investigated
Mafia got the refs on payroll
The replay center is in Secaucus NJ, right down the street from Bada Bing!
How does the nba allow this? It makes a mockery of the nba game. There needs to be fewer foul calls im general. Nobody wants to see more foul shots.
I will admit there are way more skilled players today than “back in the day.”
However the rules and space make offense so much easier. Carries, gather steps etc.
MJ basically played in a lockbox and averaged 30+.
The only thing I could figure is that maybe the very last angle fooled the ref. It looks like from that angle their upper legs might’ve hit based on how Cason kicked his leg, but if you time up the first few angles they’re actually not even close to touching at that point. I legit don’t think bam even touched him.
They shouldn’t be fooled because they can view multiple angles. What a ridiculous call haha
Oh I agree. Really bizarre call.
Sometimes Refs have egos. This isn’t a foul in the NBA, NCAA, WNBA, CBA, Euroleague or any professional or semi-professional league. I don’t think you’d get this call in 6th grade ball to be honest.
There’s still a replay center, right? So in this instance, not only did the shitty live refs make a bad call, but then the shitty Seacaucus refs also upheld that call. Wild.
You can hear just at the end of the clip Bam was breathing too loud
I think the refs thought bams chest touched casons right shoulder. That’s the only thing I think I see. At first I thought bam touched casons right arm, but on replay I don’t see that.
Bad call. Crazy it wasn’t overturned.
This is embarrassing
Unwatchaball
Terrible reffing. If they are going to let something like this stand they should have to show what angle solidified their decision because even the last one doesn’t really show anything.
Yeah this was a really stupid call 🤷🏻♂️ dunno what else to say
Funny how the stupid calls follow this team 🤷♂️
Lmao with the Lakers flair
You gotta have literally any other flair at bare minimum to be saying that
Thunder fans pretending that their team that fouls and foul baits to the first seed is the same thing.This team has gotten good calls on both sides on most of their games,whether it be soft calls or phantom calls the get it.While the Lakers have Luka bargaining for fouls from actual contact every other game.
“bargaining”
Whataboutism is all you got? It’s possible for a basketball fan to be objective and for two things to be true. That said, AR and Luka get a lot of calls, but very seldom are they anywhere close to as egregious as this. Secondly, Lebron gets robbed all the time similar to Steph. It’s not apples to apples. But you’re just trying to change the topic of the conversation. We can discuss lakers free throws in its own thread. Shifting to “what about the lakers lol” isn’t helping your case
Nah dawg this is a Kardashian looking at a celebrity and saying “you seem pretty vapid”
so just cuz he’s a lakers fan he can’t call it out as it is? crazy
Calling as it is isn’t pretending this only happens to us, him being a Lakers fan is especially dumb about this because Lakers have a great whistle
Lakers whistle isn’t even close to current Thunders whistle.
Yeah it’s way better
This is hilarious
You guys were 1st in FTA last year while the Thunder were fucking 26th
Right now you guys are 2nd and we are 17th lol
U can call out bad calls, but acting like thunder are the team that always benefit whilst being a lakers fan is very hypocritical
Why is this being downvoted?
Okc psyop
Tbf all the okc flairs in the game thread called it a a weird call. I thought to myself maybe bad angle from the ref but then they upheld the call where it seemed even more clear there was no contact lol
Lmao psyop because of one dogshit call in the first quarter
Acting like there isn’t some bullshit every game at this point in the NBA
Do you see who the Heat are playing
middle of the league in FTA but go off
Huh? He asked why it was getting downvoted. I’m alluding to your corny ass fanbase
sure a fanbase from the metropolis of OKC are able to stem the tide of shit that gets heaped on the Thunder
That’s actually crazy
Portland vs Houston last week Caleb Love got full extension shoved out of bounds with less than a minute left. Everyone watching the replay of a man getting assaulted. It was called a foul on the floor and overturned on Houston challenge as “marginal contact”. That one call would have cost Portland the win if Durant hadn’t missed the last shot.
They’re trying to affect the outcome of games by cheating. It’s either individual refs themselves or the refs’ union. My money is on the union (metaphorically…I don’t bet on corrupt leagues).
We got top 5 biggest homer announcers in the league and they said it was clean 🤣
Man that’s something. Only the Warriors have a more homer announcing crew. So if the home crew thought it was clean there’s something wrong there.
The Warriors crew is fair and balanced. If, like me, you are a blind Warriors fan.
Even Fitz would have called this clean if it happened to a Warrior lmao. Maybe the most nuts call I’ve ever seen blown after a review.
All these ridiculously insecure thunder fans lmao
There’s gotta be a Thunder reddit patrol discord server with they way they all swarm like this. Not even Lakers fans can do it like them
Absolutely insane review
They 100% have a discord, I’ve had at least two instances where they’ve absolutely brigaded one of my comments and spammed the same response.
Such an insecure and sensitive thing for them to do considering how good their team is.
Also agree, terrible call.
lmao dude got downvoted while circlejerking and can only think this must be a conspiracy
it’s the refs and us against you bro, watch out
Insane claim to make when saying anything negative about OKC is the easiest way to farm upvotes on here
I had two of the same guys respond to me days apart. One of who mentioned he couldn’t initially respond because his comments were being marked as a brigade.
I wouldn’t make the claim if I didn’t experience the oddity of 20 thunder fans responding to a child comment 3 levels deep, its never been about karma you goofball.
It’s almost like nba fans browse the nba subreddit. Who would’ve thought? Lmao
Thunder fans should be pissed at this point bc these disgusting refs are starting to give people legit reasons to slander them.
Dude for real
If you can’t get it right on a replay, you shouldn’t be a ref.
Take the call out of the hands of the refs on the floor.
Have the fans vote in real-time!
This is lowkey one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. Maybe the worst. I don’t see anything that could support that this was a foul… and they reviewed it!
Not the worst for sure, but it’s up there most definitely. Refs are definitely getting paid to rig games this season.
Wow. I’m not even a Thunder hater but that is just appalling
As requested by u/Clever_Laziness
I believe you fam- thunder fans are annoying
this call occurred with 8:40 in the 1st quarer, while the thunder are down 7, after going on to win by 15, was posted after the game, and thunder fans are the annoying ones? lol okay
I actually requested this way back when this foul happened. I’m not blaming this foul on why we lost. We lost because this team is mid and the Thunder are good. I just think this foul is stupid as fuck and another example of NBA officiating being dogshit.
I love basketball but man the NBA and the current development process for young Americans is such a fuking joke. Why even have a rule book? Why even have refs? What are we doing in sports today.
Nearly 30% of the league is international now btw, not just American.
leg to leg contact
Their legs didn’t even made contact
stupid ref…
Wait, this was challenged and upheld?!
The fuck?
INVESTIGATE ffs
This is just sad. Defense just so helpless now and can’t do jack on the offensive player anymore.
NBA has a referee problem.
Is there a better angle that shows contact
Those were all the available replays on League Pass.
The last angle if you look at cason’s knee you can see the contact barely.
nah no contact at all
Naw you right. After watching every replay the timing of them being overlapped seems off. Theres a frame on each replay where bams thigh/hip overlaps casons knee and in the last angle i assumed thats where the contact was. But the ball is in a different spot in each angle.
Hellen Keller ass refs
How tf was this upheld w REPLAY..
Don’t watch games that involve OKC. The end.
Shit like this is exactly why I stopped watching
We need to retroactively award 50% of all historical contests free throws of that’s a foul.
50?
The fact it was upheld and the explanation given is basically gaslighting us is insane 😂🤣 There’s no contact 😂🤣 God this game appears to be more like WWE than they want us to believe 🤦🏻
A player who gathers the ball while progressing may take…(2) if he has not yet dribbled, one step prior to releasing the ball.
Just call the travel and you don’t have to make up bullshit to justify your bullshit call.
Refs sponsored by Draft Kings
Man, what are we even doing?
Lol ofc it’s phantom fouls against OKC 🤣
okc is automatically a shit team because of how they’re being reffed. biggest fraudulent team in history
I really don’t know how this could ever be called a foul. I just don’t see any contact at all. What am I missing?
Rigged!
That should have been a flagrant. He nearly killed him
What!!!
Now show all the non calls on Curry.
If our homer commentators are saying it’s not a foul then there’s 0 chance is could even be interpreted as a foul. Refs are wild
and we have obvious fouls that aren’t called. Adam Silver fix your sh!t
They can’t keep getting away with this
They will
Saying this after a 20-4 FT advantage against the Celtics lol
[removed]
Reported for harassment.
I’m not supporting any genocide.
Someone asked this highlight, I didn’t watch the game, but if you can’t stand it, then either block me or I block you.
FREE PALESTINE
Lmao you post everything to make the thunder look bad
I posted their late comeback vs. the Grizzlies, I posted their 4th quarter (+game-tying by SGA) + OT vs. the Jazz
They can ask me for highlights like in the past, but they don’t.
I asked you the other day for an egregious call against OKC and you didn’t post it lol
Was it posted already?
I must have replied to you for the reason why.
If not, that’s rare.
Here, ask me for something from tonight’s game.
I actually requested this one, and the only reason he posted it despite the dupe is the other post didn’t have the full context and why the refs said it was upheld.
This OKC hater again lol.
Sensitive little Thunder fans sheesh give your balls a tug
Maybe I will once your Mom takes them out of her mouth.
Awww so cute. Love it when the tweens get on social media.
Not even trying to hide the agenda posting rofl
Are you trying to imply that call was correct? or that the title is incorrect? what are you implying?
I think it’s more that any questionable calls favoring OKC or OKC lowlight are pretty much guaranteed to be posted by this guy. He pretty clearly hate watches our games and this sub has a contingent that enjoys this kind of content specifically because it hates on the Thunder.
I think it should have been overturned, but to be fair there are plenty of teams in the league that no one would have made this post about if the call went their way. We have been assigned the narrative of a biased whistle because of posts like this.
I requested this and have nothing against OKC. This is just an example of such a outrageously egregious call, you can’t even call OKC bias. This is just dogshit reffing.
It’s fair to discuss it and it appears to be really bad, unless Im missing something that the ref saw and they failed to show on broadcast. I wasn’t watching when it happened but it looks terrible. I didn’t know it was based on requested clips, I don’t think it’s thunder hate to request this specific clip to be posted. I do think there’s a lot of thunder hate that results in very benign/routine clips getting posted especially when we lose or have a controversial call go our way.
Yeah, I wouldn’t have requested this if it were some normal call. Bam straight up didn’t touch him and the foul got upheld on review.
As for the volume of hate requests, it’s what happens when your team is relevant. You’ll get used to it.
you know he gets requests right? go make a request for thunder highlight. gather the proof (screenshots) that he won’t post. get some kinda evidence. ur talkin out of ur ass rn im ngl
No that’s actually new information to me. I guess my comment should change from saying he is the reason all our lowlights are posted to saying that this sub hate watching is the reason lol. I mean this is far from the most egregious example of something that would never be posted if it was another team’s lowlight/bad call. I’ve seen him post random missed shots that apparently someone felt needed to get posted and it got ~100 upvotes.
How is a bad call from the 1st quarter the only highlight from the entire game?
Just shameful agenda posting atp
Big Media is obviously colluding to oppress OKC fans
You should be kinda upset too. There’s not a single Heat or Thunder highlight from this game on this sub.
None of the great basketball either team played, but one bad call in the 1st quarter? Gotta make sure that gets posted lol
There wasn’t any great basketball tonight worth uploading.
Wouldn’t have needed to get posted again had the Mods not shamlessly removed the original thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1qagc76/bam_with_the_brutal_foul_call_challenged/
Bc this is crazy dummy
It was a bad call in the first quarter that didn’t even affect the outcome of the game. It shouldn’t even need to be posted.
Okay, but you know a big conversation this year has been the whistle your team gets. I’m NOT saying they aren’t an elite team and that they only win with the whistle. But it’s a hot topic that other fans are bothered by- hence why something this insane would be posted.
You can do this for literally every game lol refs have been garbage for a while, and our whistle isn’t anything special we’re 14th in league middle of the pack. Even Utah has a better whistle than us at number 5 lol
lowlights of refball do get posted for every game, there’s a dozen refball lowlights on this sub every week.
We get you are tired of hearing the complaints about your teams whistle, but playing victim when top of the leaderboard and reigning champ/MVP is silly.
It’s not that, it’s the fact this is the ONLY clip posted from the game, I couldn’t watch the game myself and I’m looking for highlights but this is the only thing I can find on here. This has happened a couple times this year too, every other game has some highlights but OKC won so all we get is a controversial meaningless call/no call in OKC’s favor as a highlight. That’s the problem here
who’s playing victim posting the same bs missed calls a ref makes in this sub is dumb period when there are other subs that you can do that for, my response was to the guy claiming that we have some magically ordained god whistle when we clearly don’t and the stats prove it 💀
The people who are complaining about an agenda lol, the whole thread is OKC fans complaining like this is a targeted attack on OKC, it’s a complaint about refs.
Right the same guy who posts nothing but OKC lowlights, dog I’m not an idiot this is clearly a slight on OKC and like I said there are other subs that you can post this shit on idk what your point is, and I didn’t bring up an agenda whatsoever so idk what that has to do with me the guy seemed miss informed so I gave him the truth idk what this back and forth is going to accomplish for you
You’re exactly part of the problem man, you see a single bad highlight posted from a game, and you and everyone else eats it up and talks about the war crimes on the court happening. 1 or 2 Bad calls happen with literally every game, but it’s very obvious that people are way more outraged when its a Thunder gamer
Again I SAID thunder are a great team whether they get a great whistle or a terrible whistle. What I was saying is that many people BELIEVE they get better calls, so this is why stuff like this is posted.
This call isn’t even that crazy controversial. There was contact in midair and the attacking player spun out due to it. They’ll ALWAYS give benefit of the doubt to the player literally in mid-air.
People are making this out to be some insane call, what does the league benefit from giving Cason Wallace of all people said insane whistle. I agree with you tho
You watching the same replay?
I am and you quite literally see from the top down replay that Bam’s body makes contact with Wallace from around the waist area and makes him spin left. In what world does a dunker flail for absolutely no reason when a dunk is guaranteed points
Wallace doesn’t move lol, you can slow this down to 50%speed if you want. Tell me you’ve never jumped more than 10” off the ground without telling me.
You do realize it’s because of shit like this though? For example, one questionable call during the game gets posted and NO other highlights of the game will leave fans like you thinking this is all that happens during OKC games because this is all you see, and obviously you don’t watch the games because it’s pretty rare OKC plays and benefits from a freethrow disparity as the team is always bottom half in the league at FTA, legit find me a highlight of OKC tonight on this sub? You can’t, people post nonsense and sheep like you eat it up
I said okc would be an elite team even if they didn’t get a whistle………….
Alright then it’s not directed at you, but the point you just tried to make about “why people think OKC gets the whistle”
So does that mean just post the lowlights and not any highlights to make us look worse? That just feeds that stupid narrative even more.
Or even parts of the game where we were clearly fouled and we didn’t get the call, why not post that to along with the calls that we get when we shouldn’t?
Wouldn’t that be fair? It’s not going to happen, but that wouldn’t hurt anything right?
Your team is great and will be great for 10 years. Enjoy it….
Hey man I am. I would just like my team to be covered fairly is all.
OKC Fans like you making it look so much worse by complaining instead of just enjoying your team while they’re playing peak basketball.
Someone asked me about it, this is why I posted.
I didn’t watch the game.
Edit: You got to understand the people aren’t upset about the Thunder here, but the refs.
MrBuckBuck, I get you didn’t post this just to hate
But come on, look at the comments on this thread, do you really believe your edit? lol so many of these comments are so obviously about OKC, claiming the league is rigged and not just ‘mad at the refs’
Bullshit. If it was another team it wouldn’t even be posted
If someone requested it from me, it would have, trust me.
this is egregious enough it woulda been a lowlight regardless. This is horrible unentertaining refball.
I’ve seen a lot of worse calls that didn’t get posted. That’s all I’m saying. When it’s been so lopsided this year and people are always complaining why is does 90% involve the Thunder.
The issue was it was reviewed by the refs and upheld. That’s why it’s such a lowlight.
Popular teams get attention, get used to it if you think OKC is about to be a dynasty.
I posted an egregiously bad foul from an even shittier game and it got a lot of engagement. There weren’t 2 dozen nets fans whining in the comments either
Yea sure
Do you want a screenshot?
Edit: Downvote me because I spoke the truth.
I even tagged the person.
Give it up, man. Requested or not, you aggressively post as many anti-OKC highlights as you can. The titles are often super snarky.
I simply described what is happening.
I also posted Thunder highlights, including two of your last game (all possessions).
You just need to understand I’m not for any side, and I post highlights/lowlights for or against anyone.
You can criticize me, fine, but it doesn’t mean I hold grudge in any way against the Thunder (or the Thunder fans, most of them were pretty nice to me - publicly and in DMs)
Not once I turned down a highlight request by a Thunder fan (or any other fan), not once (as long as it wasn’t already posted).
“[Lowlight] Jalen Williams horribly misses the easy layup.”
Just own it.
Either way, I appreciate the work you do as a whole here in providing clips. It can just be grating when you go out of your way to post with bias, editorialize, or highlight every remotely controversial moment in any game.
If you want to make the case that every one of these are always by request, then I guess okay. But I don’t think rage bait is good for the sub.
Wasn’t a horribly missed layup?
It was.
I have no reason to hate the Thunder or their fans, seriously.
I also posted your 4th quarter comeback against the Grizzlies, the 4th quarter vs. the Jazz (with SGA game-tying buzzer-beater shot) + overtime
Come on, you need to look further.
I wasn’t trying to ragebait, I was simply trying to describe the clip at hand. That’s why most of the time my titles look horrible, being informative.
Of course it was a horribly missed layup. Do you post every horribly missed shot from every player in every game?
OKC aside, irrespective of team, you absolutely ragebait with your post selection. I get it, it’s free karma. And to be fair to you, half of them probably are requests from others.
Good on you either way for putting in work for the sub. Love and appreciate highlights posts. I just wish you’d be more judicious sometimes. It’s a constant stream of negativity on this sub.
I posted Fears’ missed layup tonight (in the clutch).
I don’t have time to post every thing from every game, not possible.
Again, this specific post was due to a request.
These lowlights post don’t give karma (if rarely), and to be honest I do it for the love of basketball, and I would still have posted it even if tmeans -20,000 karma.
I cannot think correctly about the game or its highlights/lowlights if all I were to care about was karma.
The 4th quarter and OT thing barely bring a karma despite the fact they take much longer to make, just to prove my point.
If you service requests, they’re going to heavily skew towards whatever the collective opinion is on the sub. That is likely to stay very anti-OKC for a while. It is what it is.
Either way, I’ll let it go. Keep up the good work with the clips.
Thanks.
Sorry for being stubborn about things like that.
I’ll just say it for everyone, STFU
If noticed recently any game we’ve won there are no highlights of the thunder, just bullshit like this gets posted or highlights of the other team
You can post your own highlight threads it’s not that hard
Let your fellow brothers know
Aight bet show me how to do that then
just find whatever play you want from the game on NBA play-by-play and download the video. Throw it on streamable. Post link. Example: https://www.nba.com/game/mia-vs-okc-0022500553/play-by-play?watch
I watched the Blazers-Knicks game, as I should.
The only highlight request was for this clip (on a DM).
I wasn’t coming at you specifically brotha my bad
You have the best record in the NBA and are most likely going to be back to back champs- do you really need highlights posted to the nba subreddit to feel good
No… I genuinely just want to see highlights of a game I can’t watch.
There’s 16 minutes worth of highlights on YouTube right now my man. Head on over
