When only getting most of the calls looks to you like “calls weren’t going your way,” it might be time to reflect on your privilege

And STILL pissed at how Carlisle’s whining changed the way the playoff series was officiated last year 😡

No accountability. So sad

Yep, that's the only measure of whether Bridges was holding Ty like they were newlyweds

Or why KAT gets mobbed like he's one of the Beatles in 1964 whenever he drives the lane. Yep. That's the true measure.

Holding Ty off ball versus a tank rolling to the rim through contact and shooting free throws (which happened)

the631resistance.bsky.social•11 days ago

Omg. Dude. Did we watch the same game? I mean, KAT wasn't the only one being mugged under the rim. And, not for nothing, but Cap was called for 5 fouls in a little over a half, which rarely ever happens. Face it. Your guys just didn't hit their shots, especially the FTs. That's why ya lost!

Ps John, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying the game was fixed. I’m saying the officials didn’t call Bridges off ball for holding Ty.

You know who has to do something abt that? Ty does.

The Pacers played no defense, refused to rebound, and missed their 3’s AND free throws. They were outplayed

timeburns.bsky.social•11 days ago

Outplayed at EVERY facet. Just embarrassed on their home court

the631resistance.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yep. The Pacers did not play as well as they could have last night. That's how I felt when the Knicks got their ass whooped by the Celtics. In the end, it comes down to who hits shots and who doesn't. Who grabs rebounds and who doesn't. Who defends and who doesn't. It's a simple game.

He fouled ppl. Literally grabbed Nembhard around the neck for his 5th foul…it was all a conspiracy! By the nba to benefit [checks notes] the nba’s marquee franchise, the Indiana Pacers

No. I agree. Brunson committed those fouls. But since he rarely commits fouls, I'd say this game was called pretty tight. KAT got some calls, but not all the ones that should've been called. That's on him. He cries foul every time he drives. He needs to STFU about that. But so does Coach Rick.
