[Highlight] Grant Williams is called for the offensive foul, and the Hornets’ head coach, Charles Lee, crash out, geting ejected from the game (with replays)
Mr buck buck with the maximum character title per usual
Respect for the full context plus replays though. Your titles are wack but I appreciate the dedication to the craft o7
I actually prefer his titles as opposed to the mystery boxes that other posts can be. The clip is exactly what I expect it to be when I click on it. Some MF’s be making posts where I read the title and I’m like “Who? What?” or I watch the vid and Im like nahhh that’s not what the title said.

Precisely. Everything is always clickbate
u/MrBuckBuck did right
You’re welcome.

Lmao holy shit he just spams Deni content. For sure multiple people running one account.

Tom Haberstroh has mentioned him a couple times on the Blazers broadcast
It was Lamar Hurd
I don’t recall Tom doing the same.
Oh ya I think it was Lamar
Yeah
Put this up there with Chris Finch
Refs going to get yelled at tonight. You ejected 5 people, because you let the game get out of control
Genuinely just complete incompetence by the officials. I don’t know how a game like this is allowed to happen.
Someone had the over on the ejections prop bet.
I hate how feasible this is in today’s NBA
If you wanna see more BS watch the Thunder vs Lakers second half lmao
Scary Terry strikes again
Check Kalshi
Seen a few games like that lately. They seem to be getting worse as the season goes along.
I only watched the first half and am absolutely not surprised at this outcome. Just letting bullshit fly the entire time
Just letting bullshit fly the entire time.
The unofficial NBA slogan for about a decade.
I hope all 3 get fired, this was the most preventable shit ever. I said 5 minutes in that if this is how the game is gonna go someone is getting punched in the mouth. lo and behold…
What were the signs i couldn’t watch
detroit was literally fouling hard on every single play and only getting called every fifth or sixth time. It was a matter of time before someone got heated over it.
Refs reward hacking and mauling unless the other side starts flopping and if they complain or get heated instead of flopping they get punished.
exactly bro, zebras have been absolutely atrocious recently. it’s the most blatant abuse of power ever
Edit: actually no there are plenty of abuses of power more blatant than this in government but my point stands
Lol love catching that at the end once you cooled down hella funny
Gotta let my morals win LMAO
accurate
Yep, Eric Collins even said on the broadcast the Detroit mantra is to constantly foul and foul hard because the refs won’t blow the whistle every single time. This is how they play. Bush league, and the refs let it escalate past the boiling point.
Yea there are always a handful of teams that are allowed to play “physical defense” based on reputation but a lot of it is just getting away with fouling. It’s really weird but the NBA has been like this forever. I’m not sure why it happens. I don’t think it’s intentional or anything either.
If i had a nickle for every detroit team that built a reputation off of fouling so much that they cannot possibly get called on all of them, i’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it is weird that it’s happened twice
This I do not get..People complain let us bring back the old school defense and physicality. When teams like Pistons and OKC do it because apparently they are allowed in the rules. people complain again.
yeah i’m not one of those people at all lmao, my team has been injury riddled for 5 years keep your hands off of them lmfao
exactly. it never had to get to this point.
I fully support Charles Lee sending a message by getting ejected.
Let the game get outta hand, then called this shit lol
This is correct.
It’s because the Sassy Ref got injured. Threw off the entire league.
Coach let loose soooooooo many curse words. That was def pent up.
I’m pulling for the Pistons but that call was absolutely bullshit and Lee has every right to be livid
Incredible sell. Give him the Oscar
I won’t ever complain to see somebody flop on Grant Williams, seeing him say someone flopped is very much a pot calling the kettle black situation
Was Grant a flopper on the Mavs/C’s? I don’t really recall.
He was an elite flopper with the C’s lol
your flair got the rep tho lol
Hell he pulled a couple good ones in this game too, just didn’t get the call. Was pretty refreshing actually.
absolutely
Yeah but he’s so strong that he has to flop to get calls half the time. Even a clear cut offensive foul wouldnt knock him over so he started flopping to get the calls he deserved.
Obviously this isnt every flop of his, but as someone who watched him play every game from UT through Boston its largely the case.
I can get behind that explanation
I don’t care about either one of these teams but that was clearly a foul. Defender had position, wasn’t moving, and the offensive guy ran right into him. Looked like he was looking to the sideline so he didn’t see him but that doesn’t excuse it.
There is a certain amount of physicality expected in sports. Every spot on the court you have to somewhat be ready to fight for your position you cant just fall over as soon as someone lightly touches you
Grant walked right into him, there was no play to be made. Grant Williams is an idiot and would try to do the exact same thing actually.
Bro, you can bump into guys like that. I see more contact between players all the time. Thats soft as fuck
There’s a difference between bumping, and jogging straight into a dude 😅 it’s tricky tacky, and inconsistent with how the game has been called… But it’s still a foul 😅
and inconsistent with how the game has been called… But it’s still a foul 😅
If you were travelling on a highway with the traffic flowing 10+ over the limit and you were the only guy who the cop pulled over for speeding while doing just 2 over the limit. Would you be thinking. - Hey it’s still speeding I deserved that ticket or would you be pissed?
Both can be true 😅
And really, a better example would be we were all speeding at SOME point, but I was the one speeding when we passed the cop 🤷♂️.
… And does anyone not get at least a little pissed when they get pulled over for speeding LMAO
Edit: and if everyone was going over 10 grant was definitely also over 10 😂
Lol true.
But there is “they pulled me over for speeding” pissed and then there is “That #$@&%*! pulled me over for doing only 2 over!!?!?” pissed.
LOL I’ve had both and you aren’t lying 😂
Grant walked right into him
lmao that’s being kind, grant fucking barrelled through him
Watch the video closely. The real-time one, not the replay. Like slow the original real-time video to 0.5x speed and watch it from that angle. Grant runs into Reed, then shoves him which causes Reed to fall. That shove is not clear on the replay angle. I think this is a legit offensive foul and not just a “regular physical bump”.
Honestly it looks like he goes to push him but Reeds already flying across the court before he even extends his arms the whole way lol
I can’t believe people are actually trying to argue this is a foul. Players bumping each other like this happens literally a hundred times per game. Nobody that enjoys the game of basketball should want flopping like this to be rewarded
there was just a brawl. obviously they’re gonna call the game tighter.
The problem is that, at this point, the pistons didn’t have a single fouls called against them in the 4th, and they did NOT stop playing physical. So calling this ticky tacky bullshit was icing on the cake.
Dude you can’t straight up run into someone and be like “that’s just physicality”
This wasn’t even at an angle, it was a fucking laser beam
This definition is accurate however when you watch the rest of the game and the refs are letting a VERY physical game slide, ticky-tack fouls like this are bound to go down as miscalls and Charles Lee was obviously calling them out for that reason exactly.
…. This is bait right? Well done.
This attitude is why nba sucks today. Dude blew on him and he flopped.
Knock me down with a feather.
Ya, no. Basketball is a contact sport and you’re allowed to fight for position.
If I’m standing still and you try to box me out and I fall, should that be a foul on you?
They weren’t fighting for position under the basket. Dude was standing in position off play and the guy tried to run through him when he could have easily gone around him. That’s text book foul called every time the ref sees it.
Nah this is on Grant Williams. It was definitely an offensive foul, really dumb by Grant to run into him like that even if the result was exaggerated.
Every player runs into the other team like this all game. I’m watching the Nuggets-Cavs game right now and I’ve seen it happen 20 times.
Reed just flops like a fish & the refs fall for the bullshit.
If they started calling this Jokic would foul out in the 1st quarter every game lol. I feel like big man engage like this almost every time down the court, embarrassing that this was rewarded
It’s been like that all game
That was an actual shove, it wasn’t a flop.
It was a shove and a flop. Grant definitely shoved him, and BBall Paul had the Oscar worthy performance to sell it.
This comment has 428 upvotes. Incredible.
The Pistons guy is standing still and Grant changes direction towards him and doesn’t stop. That’s a foul every single time, it doesn’t care if the defenders goes to the moon because he wants to sell the foul. It’s still a foul with or without the acting.
Lol it’s weird to see JB Bickerstaff on the other side of this. Bro watching so nonchalantly, arms crossed lol.
Cavs fans know the classic arms crossed, head shaking JB Bickerstaff all too well 😄
He knows he’s on the other side of the refs shafting a team. Prolly relishing the moment, rarely happens for them.
Just a month ago, Bickerstaff and the Pistons were on the receiving end of John Goble (#10)’s occasional bullshit whistles
Didn’t he call the refs out in the postgame ? Or was that earlier in the season
Bicker Staff
Peak cinema
He just wanted to hang out with his boys in the locker room and found his opportunity
“Brandon hold me back!”
That Hornets security guy was working over time today, should get a bonus
Bro glitched at first and tried to hold Brandon instead.
The force he used to aunched his body into Brandon instead of sidestepping him is hilarious.
muscle memory
Everyone wants to talk about the flop, but I want to talk about Charles Lee hugging up on Miller before he starts berating the official so that he can be more effectively and dramatically held back
W coach Lee lol that was hilarious, goal was to send a message to the team and he accomplished it
Not enough people in this thread understanding this. They’re thinking it’s a message to the refs and not a message to the organization including the fans.
Hornets give a shit again, love to see it. Finally after getting rid of that bum MJ
Formal Declaration of Trying to Win (For Real) submitted via form N0-T4NK
Totally, You could see the fans chanting for the Hornets is a Brawl… Not quite common IMO, usually they like “Fighting Spirit”, but not a brutal fight. However with how it was officiated, even the fans were behind the team
Oh I was at the game, and the fans were 100% with the team and 100% against the Pistons and the refs. Up to that point, Lee being ejected was the loudest we got. Had the whole arena standing halfway through the 4th, you never see that shit in Charlotte.
“Hold me back! Hold me back!”
This game will go down as an all time great
This is weak as hell. Prime Neymar bs
Lol
What are they doing to the water in that stadium?
Water.. I feel like its straight OG 4 Lokos in those water bottles.
It’s gotta have OG Roman lead piping or SOMETHING lol
What winning does to team.
I miss this kind of NBA
flopping?
Nah we like Stew going after the woman beating domestic violence fuck
I like the hornets and I was cheering for Stew to get a good punch in
Absolutely 90’s style. Commentary is peak too!
90% of the comments are calling this game cinema and the best bang for your buck. What pearl clutching?
Mostly on other platforms (a lot on Twitter) but there has been a lot here too.
I didn’t mean everyone was clutching their pearls just referring to those that were.
Pistons were allowed to push and pull guys all night long and then you call that? I would have reacted the same way as Coach Lee.
What a fucking flop lol
I love the hornets
Announcers talking like WWE announcers.
Beef Stew running on the floor made me feel like I was watching an interference during a world title match at Wrestlemania
The crowd and the chants too. Whole thing feels like the pinnacle of sports entertainment
Norcal loves wrestling, right?
Literally the entire game
That looks like a flop.
and a offensive foul. Ideally this should be an offensive foul and a tech for flopping
The sad thing is if Reed doesn’t flop, they don’t call the offensive foul.
agreed. there’s flopping/faking contact and then there’s exaggerating contact. people need to know the difference
holy fucking flop
watch in slomo coach did the same to the stupid ref
hold me back hold me back
He literally hugs his own player 😂😂
This is the greatest game of the week. And it’s only Monday.. might be just the best game of the season
Better than the Super Bowl that’s for sure
Pistons are one of the most physical teams in the league. One of those along with Orlando and OKC that just hack you all game long and get away with it
Then they do stuff like this and refs reward it and they never call games consistently which either causes things to get out of hand or one team allowed to be way more physical than the other
I wish we just completely retooled officiating starting with the officials. Import them from Europe and they should really be their own separate entity and have nothing to do with the nba. Outsource them.
Thank you for your comment. Brunson has been awarded two free throws and the ball.
A whole 2 three throws? Wow he’s already 35% of the way to his per game average
I mean he ran into a player an knocked him down… why is everyone saying flop or soft? Dude got ran into for no reason. That wasn’t even a screen just a run through
He barely bumped him and the defender flew backwards like he was ejected out of a cannon. Give me a break.
It’s a weak call, but it’s not an incorrect call. It was a stupid move by Williams to just straight up run into him like he did. At least turn upon contact to act like you’re trying to seal him and make a basketball play.
Absolute nonsense tonight
Nothing made me like my high school soccer coach more than when he got his ass thrown out once. I don’t remember it being called close to as bad as this one but we were damn sure after that that none of us would ever be caring more about a game than him
i’m confused. you live your coach for his energy so no one on the team wants to match it?
This is one of those calls where everyone feels like it’s a weak call because it’s not really impacting anything that’s happening on the court, and not impacting the flow of the game.
But the man runs straight into Pauls chest without slightly deviating lmao.
in the context of the game and how it was being called this was a super weak foul
close the schools
This is why SOOOO many people believe the NBA is 100% rigged.
Taking everything in the world for the #1 seed to beat us, we’ve really made it
Weak call
help me out here - how is that a play your coach ‘crashes out on’, Williams plowed right into the guy?
Can we do something about these trash ass refs
I think I hate the pistons…
I love that this starts with a Bball Paul highlight. Paul Reed Victory Tour.
Give me 7 playoff games of this.
could not be more obvious flop. I don’t blame Lee.
the fans in attendance definitely got their money’s worth tonight! wow
This some WWE type shit. Hell yeah
Lmfao wtf was this game man??
Why is everyone so angry today.
He totally pulled a don’t hold me back
What was with Lee here? It wasn’t a particularly egregious call, Grant Williams seemed annoyed but not angry about it.
Context. Have to have seen the whole game and how differently it was being called between the two teams.
Show an example
Watch the game yourself lol
So you can’t show an example, got it
If you won’t put in an effort, why should anyone else?
feet werent set, looks like a block to me
I mean he does run into him…but Reed also makes the most of it. Probably the right call, but there were worse in this game. That’s a play on anywhere. Could you imagine calling that in pick up lol
Good coaching
Videos never play for me on Reddit 🤷♂️
Charmin soft
Games like these are why the NBA is a total garbage heap.
What a terrible call though, I get the anger.
Floooopppp
wtf is happening in Charlotte
When it rains it pours.
consider me a hornets fan
ITT: people who don’t know the rules
Why did he hug the guy who was getting in his way? This outrage appears to be fake af
FREE CHARLES LEE
Wtf is this league
LaMelo launches it lol
Most entertaining game of the year
That’s in the top 10 worst calls in nba history. I would investigate that ref. Had to be some reason he made that call and it’s not good.
Did someone accidentally added an extra scoop of pre workout to everyone’s cereal yesterday? It’s not even a single game.
valid crashout tbh
Wish Mike brown would have players back like this. We get hacked all day, get no kills and then they call touch fouls on the other end. Enough is enough. If the pistons gonna hack, call the game evenly. Maddening
he definitely just didnt want the hornets to look like punks now that theyre good and the fight happened. i fw it
Crashing out and getting ejected over a locker room cancer is a choice
The Flop Heard Around the World
This is clearly an offensive foul lol, is everyone in this thread a bot? Did no one watch the clip? Does anyone here actually know the rules of basketball? These are questions I ask myself almost every post in this sub.
Its the context. The entire first half they ignored when the Pistons did it, without the flopping. So why call it now
Because there was a fight and they don’t want people to retaliate and start another one.
do you know the rules? defender is not in legal guarding position (he’s moving). if defender impacts offensive players speed, rhythm, quickness, or movement, it’s a defensive foul if you’re not in legal guarding position. there’s discretion with this but certainly not an offensive foul
Probably the right call, but in THIS game, it was weak.
They let much harder shit fly all night, then start calling this, yeah it’s going to send someone over the edge. People commenting on the play in isolation just don’t get it. It’s the inconsistency of the refs that turned this game into a circus.
It’s an offensive foul but should also be called for flopping, i guess coach lee was fired by how the refs were calling this game and now a soft ass foul are being called.
Terrible call. Hilarious Pre-ref yelling hold me back grab. Grant Williams is still playing?
