[Highlight] Luka Doncic and Ziaire Williams are called for double technical fouls after a referee review of some jostling between the two. That is Doncic’s 16th meaning he will be suspended next game
Somehow might be even softer than the last one he got that got rescinded.
People walking around NYC must get multiple techs every day if what Luka did is worth a tech lol
I don’t know what’s with the refs lately. They’ve been even worse than usual…
It’s been 2 or 3 seasons of this, regular season is cooked
I get why they did it. Luka’s was more subtle obviously but he did start with the physical contact. There’s no technical fouls if there’s no response but Luka did technically initiate it. Since there’s no fair way to give them different levels of infraction (I don’t think a Williams ejection is warranted here at all), double tech makes senses to me.
He got a tech for bouncing ball over his head a few months ago against the Jazz, refs just want to nitpick the best player in the world
Did you see the tech from maxi? He was pushed under the rim and the ball bounced off his head. Tech!
These soft ass calls
Ziaire is lowkey one of the biggest shit disturbers in the league. Constantly flopping, flailing, and instigating.
Nothing gets called here if he doesn’t do that little backswing.
I wish they would’ve included the play that led to this stoppage because it was absolutely a flop lmao
I’ve known about Ziaire for about 35 minutes and I’m already over him.
Before the game I just knew he was high school teammates with Bronny lol
He doesn’t do that little backswing if luka doesn’t push him
Ziaire constantly an instigator?
I’ve officially seen it all on r/nba
Doesn’t most of this apply to Luka also? He is a massive foul baiter who complains to refs incessantly while also consistently instigating things with other players.
Luka is a league leader in baiting on the offensive end and definitely beefs at an above average rate.
Ziaire flails and flops on both ends like Marcus Smart.
Luka has almost never instigated anything physical with other players. He talks some shit, but he doesnt get right into people’s faces or anything. That’s all within the game.
but he doesnt get right into people’s faces or anything.
That is definitely not him instigating physically. He got hard fouled after the whistle had already been blown and that defender had plenty of time to decide not to swing like that and he did it anyway.
I don’t give a shit what is reasoning was. I’m just posting a blatant example of a time he indeed did get in someone’s face. I’m sure you have an essay in response about why this doesn’t count but I don’t need to hear it.
Your comment history it’s pretty pathetic. So we don’t give a shit about your opinion neither
I bet you only watch The Nets Twice this season and that’s when they play the lakers.
I hate the Lakers, and I go to 7 or 8 Nets games a year.
If you watched more than 2 Nets game this season (sure) you wouldn’t have describe Ziaire as a Flopper as he spent the majority of the season playing off the ball, it wasn’t until 2 weeks ago when the starters got injured he started to play more on the ball.
He is incredibly annoying and has been for years.

We gotta stop with the techs for minor bullshit. Techs should be reserved for full on fights
It genuinely makes no sense.
And obviously it’s bad to say that stars should get preferential treatment but why in a league that try’s to incentivize stars to play so much would you tech one for this and remove one of the biggest stars in the league from a game for essentially no reason
And when full on fights happen, others will say refs lost control of the game for not calling techs earlier.
I honestly do not care if a fight happens. Look at 80s and 90s fights they fight and they didn’t even throw them out of the game in most cases. It’s really not as big of a deal as they make it out to be. And no don’t bring of the malice at the palace that’s not even the reason it got out of hand
I’m also for the let them fight side as I grew up watching 90s basketball too. I’m just saying the league doesn’t want that anymore.
Well this is certainly not a better alternative
You heard it here first, folks. If a player pushes you in the arm, you can retaliate and slap them in the mouth with no penalty!
I mean, there is a penalty. It’s a technical foul.
Offsetting techs isn’t a penalty
Correct, technically it’s a foul
Who got hit in the mouth?
They showed a slower replay on the broadcast. The swing through from Williams clearly caught Luka in the face.
I mean, it’s pretty clear from this replay, too. The guy above you is just blind
Or biased. Or both
Guy asking the stupid questions. lol
FYI The white man wearing the number 77 for the lakers in the video’s name is Luka Dončić.
What’s Vegas got for odds this is rescinded too?
Forget Vegas. We Kalshi now
We all on Kalshi now
Found Thanasis antetokounmpo too
Found Giannis
i mean i don’t like luka but this seems like not his fault at all. that reaction by ziare williams is disproportionate and unnecessary, definitely fishing for the double tech
Wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers didn’t prefer this
He was probably gonna rest that game (Wizards) and now has 2 T’s before his next suspension while the schedule gets tougher
Man, still an expensive day off for the Don haha
But yeah if the Lakers can’t win against Washington without him, they’re cooked in the playoffs.
“look ref!! He barely touched my elbow but that totally made me smack him in the face. He made me do it!!”
Ehh Luka needs the rest tbh, carrying this team for weeks, a day off shouldn’t hurt that bad tbh
I found the lone wizards fan… he’s right here guys 🤣
Luke is a great player, but biggest whiner in NBA
Yall see that Witch point in the background?
Ziaire got cursed, RIP
How the fuck is this a double tech lol, i
Damn he flops on everything.
Just let them fight like they do in the NHL. 80% of them don’t want that smoke but for those that do - let them hash it out.
Lakers are playing the Wizards next. I smell something fishy.
Luka vs scrubs
I’m your number 1 Luka hater but cmon. That is nothing.
r/nba being constant Luka sympathizers. So tired of the coddling.
Ooo boy Luka about to bring out the belt. Wasn’t planning on watching the Mets but I have to tune in now
What is this league doing to their product?
Luka is not catching breaks lately
this tech is gonna force him to take one ig
Refs are so eager for this Luka suspension
These motherfuckers want him gone lmao
Soft ass PUSC
Is he ejected for today’s game as well or only the next?
only the next
Nah you only get ejected with 2 techs. He will miss the next one instead.
He’s not ejected.
He’s suspended for the next game only
[deleted]
Gotta be a bot that didn’t watch the clip
FTs are irrelevant. He was complaining about a guy flopping on really weak contact.
It’s kinda funny too cause they said Luka was second to SGA in free throws, but that’s only true for makes. SGA has 5 more makes on 74 less attempts (both 61 games played). Kinda crazy
Luka: 482 FTM / 623 FTA for 77.4% SGA: 487 FTM / 549 FTA for 88.7%
Deni is next closest with his 58 games and Paulo is in the ballpark with his 63 games. Deni: 432 FTM / 536 FTA for 80.6% Paulo: 406 FTM / 519 FTA for 78.2%
It’s interesting to look at the numbers lol
Cupcake princess of this cupcake league.
You think that should have been a tech?
Imagine thinking the tech that got rescinded wasn’t soft because you’re a dumbass hater. Both of them were soft as fuck.
Luka tried to trip him after the steal
Looks like all the LA fans on here crying 😆
Luka always starting something and acting like he’s innocent.
Low key orob why he won’t win MVP this year.
Media starting to hate him, players prob dislike him.
Luka has always been a mouthy crybaby…great player yes but he is all that and more, actually I’m surprised that nobody has given him the business yet then again it looks like the LA bigs have orders to have his back always
On that he is 6’8” and just as big or bigger than the other players on the court .
Luka: he talked about my family again.
You guys mad you lost the 3 seed?
Us guys? Its just a joke. Lakers were playing well and they deserves the 3rd seed.
Does this make you feel better?
Imagine getting punked by the Nets. Fucking love Z, man
Dropped 40 and you lost, really punked. Definitely need him against the dangerous Wizards…
Bitch on bitch crime
Luka is exhausting
Soft ass tech. Consider flaring up for a different team.
Being a fan ≠ dick riding
31k contributions is wild homie
And yet less dick riding than 90% of this sub. I’m good with it.
He had 41 points while you spend your life rotting away on Reddit.
And he can still be held to account. Well he could if his life wasn’t full of dick riders
Yes, he is exhausted of carrying your team’s ass
That’s fine. He still acts like a 3rd grader
Flare up.
