[Highlight] Kevin Love and Jaren Jackson Jr are in shock as Kyle Filipowski is called for the foul on Nikola Jokic
That was the most absurd call today, which is saying a lot after all the shit Jokic has done and gotten away with. He hooks the arm of someone boxing him out, drives him 10 feet forward, collapses on top of him, and then he gets to shoot a FT?
this game should be used as evidence to continue to tank. The refs gave so many damn fouls it might as welll have been refs playing for nuggets. Like genuinely what made the refs seem to side with nuggets even after all these atrocious stunts? This game goes to show what happens if Utah actually tries and it’s that it hurts the betting companies that own silver. Fuck the refs and fuck adam silver for allowing gambling to run rampant
you guys are def out of a challenge right, i just started tuning in
Nope, they could have challenged and won like 3 calls in the final 3 minutes
Nah they already used their second challenge before that didn’t they? It was unsuccessful, I think i remember the jazz commentators saying something like ‘well it doesn’t matter because this was their second challenge and they wouldn’t have gotten another’ (paraphrased)
Maybe even 100
Given the result of the challenge to Jokic’s 6th foul I dont think anything would have changed
What was the explanation?
There was no foul on the floor and they called a delay of game on the Jazz.
The one when he was on top of Keyonte was inexcusable. He does that shit all the time.
very good gamesmanship from a high iq player right there.
scrappy; classy
lunch pail; gym rat
Just a bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy.
Imagine if it was Draymond shoving a guy to the ground and landing with knees first on top of him. It would be on the Reddit front page before the game is over.
NBA players are better than me because I’d be on twitter quote tweeting this shit with: “Next time he does this, I’m taking out his knees.”.
Force bald headed Silver’s ass to fine me or actually make a reffing change.
Nah that’s just next level tanking by the Jazz. Even have the refs paid off to make sure the losses keep coming.
Orrrr…a guy illegally flipping 180° during a box out and causing them both to fall down 🤷♂️
very good comment from a smooth brain 1%er right there.
JJJ’s been standing up and hyping up his team all game i like to see it
Jazz should be good next year Kessler,Lauri,jjj and they got the young guys a ton of playing time this year.
and Keyonte is pretty good too
He’s really good and collier made a big step this year
He’s on the rise. I’d say a few more years and he should be reaching his potential.
I miss him so much and wish we had dumped Ja instead of all the good guys on the team
He better be careful not to appear too healthy
For some reason jokic flops annoy me more than sga,Luka doing it
cause he’s too damn big to be acting like that
Jokic the new Embiid
Time is a flat circle
Sometimes also a fat circle
Sometimes just fat
like jokic
Cuz he’s actually a danger to the other player when he tackles a player 100 pounds lighter than him
Yeah you might be right big men aren’t as coordinated and it’s dangerous sga,Luka are good at getting fouls but not causing spinal injuries.
So why is it ok for Luka?
^/s
I don’t think Luka does this a whole lot but it’s definitely also unacceptable if he did it, i do know that Jokic pulls this move out all the time and i hate it, i don’t even care about foul baiting but if you’re actively putting another player in danger it’s unacceptable
I was just making a fat joke lol soz
Probably because he puts his whole body weight on players flopping on top of them
He lays on people it’s fucking absurd to watch
Because you’ve never seen Luka do any of this stuff
Yeah Luka is like a child throwing a tantrum but I don’t think he’s actively dangerous
Yeah Jokic is absolutely a worse flopper
I hold jokic to a higher standard than Luka he’s always arguing with refs.
Prob the natural irritation of seeing that much bulk magically become feather-light when it’s time to start baiting the whistle. More egregious visually than even some of the already annoying calls that those two can get
Because Gilgieous-Alexander and Doncic are just annoying as shit when they flop, but when 300+ lb Jokic does it, it’s legitimately dangerous for anyone near him.
Fuck all of them tbh
Jokic PR is gonna be down there with Giannis after the Bubble Heat series after this game
I don’t think I’ve seen this much attention for a random regular season game before lmao
To be fair it’s a reaction to all the constant OKC spam by Denver fans all week
And it’s a Jazz game too.
Like why on Earth are people paying attention to us this season lol
Because 3-6 in the west is separated by like 2 games. There’s 3 teams all cheering for Denver to lose plus the OKC fans that are still salty about the game last week
I hate the modern NBA so much. It’s literally the who do the refs favor or fuck more contest every week. I’m over it, this shit ain’t hoops anymore.
most people on here don’t watch basketball, and are only familiar with the sport at all from 10-15 second internet clips, so on any given day the whims of like 3 guys who upload videos on here will determine what the agenda for the day’s discussion will be
Haters feasting this week.
As a serb im partial to jokic and the Nuggets but yall need to learn when to keep quiet. When the lu dort clip was spreading a few days ago the thunder fans were either quiet as mice or getting fried by the rest of the comments
what do you mean ‘yall’?
I mean nuggets fans.
Ya ignore any reason. I wasnt even complaining. But it is a long line of posts complaining and the sub isnt always that negative.
I mean….wtf are you talking about? Its hate posts getting a lot of traction. Because haters are feasting. Why would I need to be quiet? Why are fanbases monoliths with singular opinions? I think you misinterpreted what I meant by that
Nah the IG and tiktok warriors will still justify everything or point the finger somewhere else
This entire Nuggets season gives off a lot of 2023 Bucks vibes
Expect a Dame type move in the off season that firmly closes the window shut if they don’t make the finals this season.
If you say Jokic is ethical and doesn’t flop, you are a white suprematist
You might be joking but ya ain’t lying
Don’t white supremacists hate slavs?
Who do they root for. Austin Reaves?
I wouldn’t know fam
Good answer lmao
NCAA
Don’t white supremacists hate
Yes.
We need a highlight reel for the amount of falls in this game
God Kevin Love just keeps getting hotter and hotter
The gray in his hair looks absolutely fantastic
The salt and pepper look for dudes is top tier
Grateful for that hope I can I pull it off well when it’s time.
Flopic does it again. The golden boy of r/nba in shambles
Weird how no one complains about Jokic when he flops.
Oh and by the way…he flops ALOT.
Isn’t that what this whole thread is?
It’s peanuts lol if Dort did this the thread would have 15k upvotes and 3k comments
Full on football tackle lmao
Typical Jokic play tbh.
Flop Game recognize Flop Game 👀
Deni avdija
this 4th quarter has honestly been the most horrendous display of officiating I’ve ever seen. in any sport.
Jazz coaching staff refusing to use their challenge is the most tanking thing to do
crazy how Jokic doesn’t get half the hate that SGA does
It’s just crazy that SGA gets so much hate. Neither of them really should.
He absolutely is starting too now though. His PR has gotten terrible
My ethical fat serbian can do no wrong 🥰
The look on Kev’s face is hilarious.
thought the goat kevin love was injured but it looks like bro got that “DNP: Old”
Joker should really try some vertical stripes. They draw the eye down making you appear less heavy.
Refs on one tonight
The craziest part is that Flip is terrible defensively as a 5. Joker shouldn’t need help from the refs to score on him.
Extremely clear preferential treatment for Jokic. No chance the average player gets away with this nonsense.
And of course he lands directly on an opponent knee first
I’m surprised he didn’t get an armbar submission
Why wouldn’t players flop? The refs award you for it
Nobody seems to notice Ace pushing Jokic into Filipowski at the same time? I don’t think Jokic would’ve gone onto Filipowski without that extra nudge, but that’s just what I see.
Tubbs and his fans thinks his face is enough for us to forget.
Kevin love is still playing??
Absolute Cinema
They’re tanking, aint got shit to do but be clowns
Adam Silver wanted the team he fined for tanking to not win this game
Joker the Jokester
Tried doing that same shit to JWill a couple weeks ago and in the playoffs last season and this sub was saying JWill was in the wrong. He does this shit regularly and gets away with it, glad people are finally seeing it for what it is.
Holy shit thunder fans on here are insufferable
Lmao you see this type of shit once in a blue moon…
Meanwhile Lu dort dirty 50 free throw shai is plastered in every post. Like surely you can be ok with this type of behavior just this once, after what we put up with
sonics fan mad about thunder fans in a jazz/nuggets thread. hilarious
Holy hell, are we just gonna ignore the shove in the back? I’m still trying to figure out why filip got a T. I can only guess from arguing with the refs because a dude fell on him from getting pushed in the back
[deleted]
I’m personally talking about this play buddy. I’m in no way indicating all the calls are even. I try to be balanced on every play. Like this one 100% should’ve been called a Jokic foul. Had someone point out Jokic hooked filip before the push in the back
I don’t see what people see here. There was a slight shove, a lack of footing. There are actual bad things Joker did tonight but OKC and Lakers are trying to get anything they can it seems.
