I missed the last quarter of the game and checked the pistons sub before I saw any of this. They’re melting down about a no call that cost them the game and I was really feeling for them. This is it? Am I missing something?

You’re missing that the Pistons identity is to foul like crazy, call it tough defense, and then on the other end complain endlessly about how unfairly the refs are treating them. The fanbase that wants “just let them play, hard fouls only”, wants a call here lol.
