I dont think he realized there was a TO right away and saw bis on the court

Yeah I was like wtf am I missing?

I thought he called a tech on KJ for taunting.

Pretty sure he was just chasing the play up the floor after the quick restart attempt, trying not to get stuck in the traffic of the spurs players stepping onto the court. Maybe he didn’t realize the TO was being called and was a little annoyed thinking they were getting in his way celebrating the dunk.

The most

The way he ran I thought he was about to call a foul lol

Animation bug.

I think he didn’t hear the timeout and was like why the fuck is the bench coming onto the court. Trying to keep up with what he thought was the playing continuing and trying to get the bench back to the bench is what I assume

Making up for the non call on the elbow given to Harper.

The back-to-back MVP is no where to be seen and being carried by his bench. I just want to confirm we’re all seeing this

Unstoppable force meets soaking wet 2-ply

I came to the comment section to see someone say BIG BODY

Throwing elbows is a San Antonio specialty

He always high af

swear he’s the oddest looking dude I ever saw. Looks like if Abe Lincoln was alive during Myspace era.

stoner

I mean Fox and Harper are hurt but they’re literally playing, and they seem at least 60-70% ok. Our injuries were a bit worse earlier in the series but thats flipped

Yea at this rate, Knicks have to be the favorites. They are pretty close in talent compared to either team in the current state and they will be fresh and healthy.

If someone managed to beat these two rosters combined, that would be the GOAT champion for good lmao 

I mean, he got shoulder rammed by a guy that weighs more than him. Weight and momentum is way more important than height here

Even if he got more meat it would still happen

They’re typically not allowed to lower a shoulder and clear out a defender, but oh well.

Tbh I don’t really give a shit when it’s a 6’6 dude doing it to a 7’1 dude

while this does look like a charge at first, if you watch it in slow motion, you can see that chet is still running, or “strafing”, parallel to the base line when contact occurs. therefore he hasn’t established a position, thus not a charge.

edit: just to add, you can also see this in the continuation of the play by applying some vector physics (not that anyone would do this in real time, but i think it’s interesting). johnson runs into chet perpendicular to the baseline, thereby applying a perpendicular force, but chets continued movement after the impact, is at a 45 degree angle to the baseline (the impact occurs at the further away edge of the free throw lane, chet crosses the base line at almost at the closer edge of the free throw lane) therefore chet must have still had lateral momentum and by combining the vectors of the lateral momentum, and the perpendicular force, you get the 45 degree motion.

It’s just how the NBA’s been moving I don’t know I expect them to change course eventually on this, moving screens carries and travels but they never seem to

I’ll take this over the constant pushoffs any day.

Chet needs to be planted for it to be a charge.

Keldon Johnson might be smaller, but dudes a fucking monster, doesn’t seem that unreasonable when he could body 90% of the league

Lol tf

A smaller player is generally allowed to be more physical with a big.

Or did you forget what Caruso was allowed to do to Jokic

It’s playoff basketball, it’s going to be more physical. I’m more upset that a dude chet’s height got bullied by a small dude like than getting some soft ticky tack call

He didn’t push though. He stepped into a defender who was still moving.
