Sooo I guess Cousins and Jokic complain differently.

    This isn't true...

    He does it when he makes a layup as well

    People are dumb on social media, ergo refs must officiate guys based on their history and not based on the current game? Got it

    I never said they don't cheat, just that this is a poor example to make the case!!

    i'm not sure either way to be honest. on one hand it's true a lot of refs are simply likely fed up w/ cousins from his SAC&NOP days. but on the other, i also have no doubt the league intends to make doncic mvp this season as their next chosen one w/ marketing up the ass this decade... so it's possible that could have contributed in part to goble the quintessential w****'s ultra quick trigger

    Don’t worry, you aren’t spoiling anything, as the rule book doesn’t say “the application of fouls change based fouls that were called before it.” In fact, it states, quite specifically, the opposite.

    Technicals are not like foul calls. You were either in the restricted area or not, for example, but the second technical foul? That can be based on the first technical. Similar to how the second yellow card could be influenced by the first yellow card in soccer.

    Exactly.

    And 90 seconds prior. The technical is issued for behaviours outside the spirit of the game. To abuse the official 90 seconds later and be shocked when issued another technical.

    It is like someone pulled over for speeding, given a fine. And then doing a burnout when driving away from the booking...

    Jokic's a b****, but a great player.

    I was expecting this thread will bring us some high end analysis about Cousins and Jokic secret sex tapes performance.

    Sabonis, Jokic, and Luka, and to be honest most European-leagues-raised players all play with a very similar style of drawing fouls and the types of plays they expect fouls on. Playing Luka, you start to get a feel for how annoying it is to play against Harden, when he just barrels into the paint between three people, contorts 3 feet to his side to brush his hair on someone, gets a foul call, and makes the And-1 because he's actually good.

    You're the OG, kudos.

    It's been out there.

    Originally wanted another Gordon and females but this was better.

    Today's players are lucky they aren't playing games called by Jack Madden or Jake O'Donnell those two guys made Joey Crawford look like the voice of reason when it comes to calling techs on players. The crying a lot of the guys get away with would have got them tossed in the first quarter by Madden or O'Donnell.
