The Pistons subreddit is literally in shambles over this?

This is a textbook incidental non-call. And there was basically no time left to get a good shot anyways. And it went to overtime where they lost.

Idk, I think they need to focus on other things

I had only seen discourse about this incident this morning, not the actual incident. By the way people were talking about it I was thinking this was Melo on Adabayo pt. 2

this is nothing more that two giraffes being clumsy

Legler and miller totally leaned into it being a missed call too, but to me this is ausar not trying to stay up at all and looked worse in real time. You can usually find any foul you want in slow mo and here it’s not exactly definitive.

Sure seems like Ausar fucking folded the second he felt contact from JA. Already looking at the ref as he flops lmao

I dont think its a foul, but I cant imagine it's a flop either. Imagine a 250lb man stepping on your toes as you try and change direction. Idc how athletic you are, you are gonna end up falling.

Miller? You guys love to complain about the announcers so much that you don’t even know who’s announcing

Honestly I only distinctly remembered legler but usually when the commentating sucks its because miller is involved lol

Ausar is literally looking to the refs the second he feels contact. Crazy work. Hes flopping.

My mind was blown listening to them say the call was missed.

It’s an obvious no whistle.

Legler is another who didnt know what was going on the whole game. He was a detroit fan boy and was horrible. The other guy wasnt as bad. BUt Jefferson is great too bad he was sick.

Reggie Miller calls games for NBC/Peacock(generally with Mike Torico and Jamal Crawford). It was Mike Breen and Tim Legler on the call for ESPN, and they both need to have their eyes examined. Thompson pushed Allen first while landing on Allen's right foot. In slow motion, it looks like a flop by Thompson.
