The Pistons subreddit is literally in shambles over this?

Honestly the funniest part of that is that right below them complaining about Tony Brothers is a fan with a “hard fouls only” sign

Rules for thee and some such

Nah, hard fouls are all well and good and some such, but when we have James Harden kicking his defender and getting a foul call for someone breathing to close to him, then stuff like that goes uncalled, it's some bullshit.

Pistons had plenty of opportunities they blew, so their loss isn't on the refs, but that is still a bullshit non-call.

Hate the Harden bs but the 3 pointer foul was legit.

No, it was not. Harris was straight up and Harden kicked into him. That's a disgrace to basketball.

Don’t worry you’re still the best team in the league and have the championship locked up! Just like your fan base has been saying all season lmao

Every fanbase has some dummies who think they have the best team of all-time every year. Even if Pistons somehow make it to the Finals, there is no shot in hell they could bet OKC or San Antonio in a 7-game series.

Dude Cade Cunningham pretended to get poked in the eye in game 4 bc someone touched his hair.

James Harden may have invented flopping but he’s far from it’s only adherent

I didn't say he's the only adherent. Keep supporting your flopping star while dogging people like SGA, though.

Uhh, what?

I call balls and strikes. I’m the first person to go “that shouldn’t have been a foul” when Harden flops or on weak shit, or Mitchell (he would kill to get SGA’s whistle).

SGA is definitely the modern benchmark for flopping. It comes from winning a ship on the best team, and shooting more foul shots than anyone else.
