[Highlight] Julian Reese grabs and drags Yang Hansen away, and continues with the ‘trust fall’ at the end of garbage time (with replays).
Yang laugh and cannot understand why he did it, and both received a technical foul.
Why did Yang get a tech??? Dude did almost nothing.
He smiled… Menacingly!
The Tim Duncan special.
Almost as egregious as the tech Rasheed got for staring at the ref
WHACK, GET OUT
Fucking Joey Crawford.
No, the technical for something else.
That video will never fail to make me laugh š ref was a menace
Already racking up accolades as Tim Duncan this early in his career
Julian Reese said “we’re doing trust falls whether you like it or not” and Yang Hansen is just standing there like š bro what is happening. Both got T’d up for this and honestly it was worth every second.
#MENACINGLY
Smiling = taunting
I guess š¤·
I mean Tim Duncan got done for laughing while on the bench and smiling is basically a gateway to laughing.
Smiled duncanly.
Ref, probably: “He squinted his eyes menacingly!”
It better be rescinded. Dude was taken down and just sat there like WTF.
Dropped right onto his tailbone, too
It definitely is getting rescinded. Refs just wanted the game to end faster.
Chinese fans are going to be all over it if it’s not rescinded. His following is crazy and I don’t think people really understand how big it is.
He fell in a way that angered the refs.
I don’t think he even did “almost” nothing
He literally did nothing but get grabbed and picked up and dropped
Yang Hansen’s only crime was existing near Julian Reese in garbage time. He did absolutely nothing. Got grabbed, got dragged, got dropped, got a technical foul. Bro was just standing there living his life and now he has a T on his record for it.
On his PERMANENT RECORD
Racism.
Unfortunately likely
[deleted]
I see youāve never boxed out before
He got a tech because even though Portland is a better team, Washington has a bigger market somehow
The old highschool āzero toleranceā rule. A real classic.
Because the refs didn’t want to fuck up the spread
The spread was 34 points? lol ok
There is a live spread throughout the game. Refs often won’t call obvious fouls at the end of the game
How could a referee on the court get access to what they need to do to affect a live spread?
bluetooth butt plug communication
Brrrrr ātechnical!ā
Brrr brrrrr ādouble tech!ā
They just don’t care as it isn’t interesting anymore, it always been like this, no malice there
Neither the spread nor the over/under were in any doubt with 30 seconds left in the game.
The real answer. It’s been pretty obvious that online sports gambling has turned the NBA pretty corrupt now, and it will only become more corrupt in the future.
The refs have gotten too used to just throwing out double techs as a ānow quit it I donāt wanna hear it from either of youā like a parent.
Just punish both the kids so you donāt have to hear the aggressor complain about why he did what he did
He pulled a Tim Duncan but on the floor
Yeah there are peacekeeping techs and there’s whatever the fuck this was on Yang lol
Communism probably /s
Poor social credit with the ref
This is a we all went to go home tech to make the game not last longer than it needed to… lol
Only thing I can think of is elbow was too high on the initial boxout. /shrug
Yea wtf??? This is why the nba is so trash! It makes no sense for Yang to get a tech here!!!
ADAM SILVER FIX YOUR REFS
After this and the Thunder game the Wizards might be the goats of getting bullshit techs on other teams. I just hope we do it to like Draymond and Dort instead of Wallace and Yang.
It looks like he potentially extended the foot to trip but I still hope his tech gets rescinded
Because Young Handsome gets all the fouls on the floor. That’s just a league rule.
Asian.
Deadass no different than being charged with resisting arrest for going limp
He called him the n word in german
Elbowed him in the head/chin on the box out
What? Thatās not a bow to the head/chin. Julian Reese is trying to get position above yangās arm/shoulder. Yang is countering that and trying to get above Reeseās arm. There is no wind up or hit to the face. Reese got salty and did his thing.
There were other angles played that clearly show this.
This T on Yang will absolutely be rescinded.
Quick edit: it wonāt be rescinded if the T was for the trip. But, thatāll be explained when the report comes out.
I feel like Iām taking crazy pills reading the rest of these comments. Thereās a very clear high elbow to the face which makes this an easy double tech
Also hooks/pins Reeseās arms to his own body.
You can even see him wind up the elbow before the free throw
I think the tech was for tripping Reese, but I don’t know why these comments about the elbow are being downvoted.
He tripped Reese while he was walking away if you look closely
I wouldn’t say he did nothing, the elbow looked a bit high; you can see him loading it up for the box-out.
Ok but that would be a flagrant, not a tech
Yeah, I don’t know the “official” reasoning behind the T; it was probably more of a make-up call in that they realized they shoulda whistled him for it and they don’t want the game to get outta hand with retaliation in the dying seconds š¤·āāļø I don’t know, I have no context outside of this clip.
Yang received a tech for that? That cannot be real
Didnāt you see the way he retaliated by barring his teeth?
Yea, you can’t raise your hackles and snarl at the refs like that. What does Yang think this is? The Serengeti?
MENACINGLY
The refs were like “and fuck China” blows whistle
// you dropped these
Probably wanted to give Reese a tech but didn’t want to waste everyone’s time with a FT lol
Understandably, no one wants to spend more time at that game
Yup, double technical xD
Edit: You can also hear it at the end of the clip
These refs are insane
double technical with chinese characteristics
I assume they thought he tripped Reese as he was walking away.
Didn’t look like much, but the replays all cut off right before that.
good catch, thats probably it. Its tough to tell but it looks like he lifts his leg off the ground as Resse walks past.
The funniest part is you can’t even use the excuse that Yang might’ve said something because he can’t speak English that well. Unless the refs have been studying mandarin in the off-season to keep him in check
Didn’t want to have an impact on such a close game
That’s what China gets for trading with Canada
Looks like he tried to trip him when he was walking away.Ā
The nba is such a garbage product I stg
maybe the box out was a little harder than it had to be? his arms were pretty high and it looked like an elbow right to the neck?
I have no idea why youāre being downvoted, yang clearly throws a high elbow to Reeseās neck and he took offense to it
Yeah itās a pretty good spot by the ref tbh. He hits him pretty hard
I can’t believe how reactionary people are being in this thread without actually watching the tape.
In no world is that an OK box out, flaring your elbows out like that. His opponent clearly took exception to it but changed his mind about making it a real altercation.
What is going on with the downvotes? Is this comment section being brigaded? Itās obviously a high elbow box out which warrants a double tech
Exactly lol. Pretty aggressive move for being garbage time
Refs use double techs to do less work.
30 second left, they just want to go home.
This might be the least deserved double tech I’ve ever seen. Yang’s just like what was that?Ā
This is the only explanation I’ve seen that even makes a little bit of sense
Better rescind them
Yeah, but see, that’s someone else’s work, not theirs
Refs lazy af. No money to be made in these random blowout games
Itās normally a tool to control the game. Ā Both players will chill if they get ejected with another tech
Yang seemed pretty chill after the most WTF play because what the hell is Reese even doing bruh
Ref version of yelling at both kids from the other room without getting off the sofaĀ
There will be a request to rescind this tech sent straight from the Chinese embassy
I hope they refuse to rescind and Xi fires missiles at these refs.
Full blown world war 3 over NBA referee calls wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card.
Not the worst offensive strategy this year tbh
I’d prefer it to what’s happening in Iran rn.
Ugh same
Only if the missiles actually hit the refs though lol
subscribed
You are more likely to have America and Israel firing missiles over something this minor than China.
Israel has launched more missiles since the war started (est. ~400) than Deni has points (236).
Na, too old.
theyre missle proof as well
Hey! Write that down! I need more diversions away from the Kawhi case.
- Adam Silver
And right from my house.
Reese gonna find his bank account emptied by an anonymous hacker with Chinese IP address.
They gave Yang a tech on this!?!? holy shit, this is probably the worst call i’ve seen all year…
Probably the most inconsequential call Iāve seen all year and it will probably get rescinded anyway
while both of those statements are true, its an absolute joke that it was called in the first place. No ref at any level of the sport should have even considered this as a double tech. This may not be worse than the Duncan ejection for laughing, but its not far off…
When are we going to actually address the refs ruining the game?
What, was the over/under at 34 and they didn’t want a FT to mess things up? Or the balance or money line or whatever it’s called I don’t gamble
Lmao
The referees of the NBA sponsored by Draft Kings on ESPN featuring ESPN Bet or FanDuel Sports Network with integrated betting while you watch the game are influencing the outcome of games. Shocked Pikachu face. Surely theyāll get to the bottom of this.
Ruining the game? The Wizards lost by 35
Im talking about the game of basketball as a whole
Double tech there is fucking dumb, lol
you not Jokic bro…Yang doesn’t want you like that
Should check the vegas odds.
Double tech really? Lol fucking idiot refs!
Ah, but the most important thing. Reese proved he can be trusted. And that’s what matters the most
Does he? I feel like he drops Hansen on his back at the end there
its worse, lets u fully commit to trusting b4 betraying u
hes devious lol
I feel like he drops Hansen on his back at the end there
doesn’t this meet the definition of a flagrant 1? it’s unnecessary and it’s reckless. and it’s not like picking someone up is a basketball move.
Gotta agree, completely indefensible in the final seconds of a total blowout. It’s basically inconsequential, of course, but weird and malicious still
Why the fuck did Yang get a tech? What a fucking joke. Fuck NBA officials, this shit is garbage.
y did a wizards player give him a push after lol and he reacted to it too
It looked like he didn’t like how his teammate dragged and dropped him like a sack of potatoes. It was garbage time minutes, seemed a bit unnecessary.
Double t š¤£š¤£š¤£ these refs would of control
Refs don’t understand that not everything needs to be a call
A tech on either side is ridiculous
I mean, the one on Reese at least makes sense. He dragged Yang across the paint after being boxed out then just dropped him on the floor lmao Yangās tech though? Wtf is the reason for that?
Feel like refs in this league are offended any time a player laughs or smiles. No need to remind anyone of the Crawford Duncan ejection.
These refs are soft AF and Silver gives them too much power with no accountability. Look at NHL refs. Players can swear a storm at them and they do nothing knowing players get heated during games.
It was cause he Asian
The unspoken truth
I’m hoping one day we get a fully Asian player who is a giant crash out and actually calls out players and refs on their bullshit.
r/NBA wet dream
Gotta be the first Singaporean NBA player
“he said pokemon ham guy or something?”
Racism, great job NBA
Dropping someone purposely on their tailbone is a bitch move.
A broken tailbone is no joke
Grandma took a little spill at the sand dunes today. Broke her coccyx.
Funniest part about this was that one Wizard pushed that other Wizard. Only altercation from this was inner team.
The racism in NBA is insane. If you been watching Yang’s games, you’d notice a lot of calls on him were BS.
NBA is just dumb. What foul is that on yang
Officiating in the NBA is a joke
Wesley was just about the Trailblazers 4th rebounder in the lineup by the time the shot was taken too.
I know this is s dumb game. But refs are garbage
Double tech? Fucking refs man, wtf
how are you gonna come in the league and do this to America’s favorite? you just got here.
How the fuck is this a double tech
I like how Reese’s own teammate pushes him, even he knows he’s doing too much š
The NBA is such trash now. The refs are killing the game with weak calls.
Why did Yang receive a technical?
Only justification may be because Reese stumbled and refs thought Yang tripped him? No other possible reason other than Tim Duncan special
Only thing Yang did was drop his arm and lock him hit thatās what I was taught then again my coach was old old school.
He couldnāt get that mebound
Reese wanted something the whole time. Tries to make yang flinch before the free throw.
NBA ref….
Everyone could see that Yang shouldn’t get a tech, except the refs.
Foul! No, two fouls!
Just doing their part to give a Klutch client a spot in the news.
Yang with the jokic whistle already, he really is his idol
idiots
refball with 30 seconds left…
Which ref called that tech on Hansen?
Lol so when Yang is on the floor, #13 pushes Reese with a bit of force and Reese subsequently trips over Yang’s foot on the ground?
I mean I guess Reese got mad thinking Yang did it on purpose and maybe the refs thought so too but I’d imagine the technical on Yang gets rescinded.
Soooooo if you retaliate you get a tech, if you just do nothing you will still get a tech.
Why would you do nothing then right ? From now on just fucking retaliate.
Fuck these dumb refs, they always took the fun out of the game from these dumb ass calls
Lazy-ass refs. 1 tech would be appropriate here.
Another soft ass double tech
Yang got the Tim Duncan treatment. Heās already GOATED
Kalshi whistle can be spotted outside its home habitat grazing range of OKC
Idk that initial elbow swing didn’t land but that was close to the face , and I’m a Portland fan
Bam gunna put belt to ass again if Washington dosen’t behave!
Double tech on both for failing the trust fall
Tech on Hansen for having a good time
Double tech, cuz they can’t be brothered?
MLB giving teams to override shit calls and it is entertaining, NBA needs to do more of this outside of the coaches challenges. Need refs to actually show integrity
He smiled like Duncan so understandable
I hate how he just drops him on the floor. If he lands on the tailbone ouch…
Refs are so dumb
Both get a tech because we can’t have this game going on forever and we want to go home.
In the long history of poor calls, this is one of them
wtf is this shit lmao
He should’ve been ejected the way he viciously through Yang to the floor! I’m disgusted with the lenient reffing of the modern nba!
Does nobody see the elbow he throws? Iād be pissed too.
Why did he do this though lmao
March basketball between bad teams is so unserious. Goofs and gaffes
Yang def elbows him in the head on the box out yall lmao
Weird play Julian
Jules listening to his sister too much
Jus like his sista
