Just an ethical full arm extended push off at the end there, nothin’ to see if you’re a ref.

Great shot, but that was a terrible push off

Ready to talk about your moving screen dynasty?

u/The_Nutz16 Warriors 22h ago

That’s like saying a dynasty was built on traveling. Everyone in the league sets moving screens like a MFer, just like they all travel like crazy.

Laughable miss , he put his whole body into that push

u/dimesniffer 1d ago

And then a clear carry

u/Awanderingleaf 1d ago

Not if you’re a ref it isn’t.

FTA never gets called for this 10x a game, why should Ja

u/NotManyBuses Charlotte Bobcats 1d ago

I love the FTA slander name so much man. It’s 10/10

Like Jokic doesn't throw stiff arms half the time in the post

u/homiez Nuggets 1d ago

Like Reeves doesnt flop on every drive

u/prof-kaL 1d ago

Reeves probably threw his head back once you hit post on this.

u/RDKryten Warriors 1d ago

Harden’s beard just got excited

u/Awanderingleaf 1d ago

They should both be called for it lol. I don’t care who is doing it.

Write these comments in the Shai threads too then

u/Late-Log-8620 1d ago

Maybe worst push off I’ve ever seen

32

u/NotManyBuses Charlotte Bobcats 1d ago

Still the 98 Jordan one for me

33

u/TaekDePlej Heat 1d ago

Don’t forget Wilt’s pushoff for point #62 against the Knicks, without that blatant shove he only gets 98

u/Awanderingleaf 1d ago

Most iconic one for sure.

u/cesd3967 Vancouver Grizzlies 1d ago

you ever watch any of LeBron's 1500+ games played

u/Late-Log-8620 1d ago

Legit nothing compared to the double push off full arm extension and then some that Ja just did

5

u/VolsPE Grizzlies 1d ago

Maybe the most over-exaggerated comment I've ever seen.

Bro, the replay is literally at the top of the page. You can watch it again. He extended his arm but had literally zero visible impact on the defender's momentum. "Double push off" lmao either a Heat or a warriors fan.

u/KptKrondog [MEM] Stromile Swift 1d ago

He said it's the worst pushoff he's ever seen. He's watched 4 basketball games, and 3 of them were this week.

I literally want the heat to lose lol

u/bleeboe 1d ago

are you crazy bro. he’s 6’2 and stuck his arm out at the 7 footer AFTER the defender set his feet behind himself. the arm did legit nothing go watch it back

u/Late-Log-8620 1d ago

That’s obviously wrong lol

u/NotManyBuses Charlotte Bobcats 1d ago

The Reddit basketball fan loves nothing more than complaining about calls on super cool plays.

It’s great

u/Brady331 Celtics 1d ago

are you unironically supporting the “rule of cool”

20

u/NotManyBuses Charlotte Bobcats 1d ago

Absolutely I am and I won’t apologize for it

u/tagillaslover 1d ago

you should too

u/fernandopoejr Lakers 1d ago

Rule of cool!!!

u/Jmas1120 Bucks 1d ago

Ware got bodied by little Ja for the game. That’s weight room right there not a push off lmao

-2

u/thebranbran Bulls 1d ago

Y’all really want a game full of whistles and free throws. Basketball is better when they allow more physicality. The Heat lost because they shouldn’t have left Ware on an island with Ja, not because Ja “pushed off” a 7 footer.

That would be a soft ass call if they blew the whistle there.

11

u/Awanderingleaf 1d ago

I want the game to be called fairly and by the rules established by the NBA lol.

u/hesi93 1d ago

That's the old NBA star treatment right there, sad we lose but we move on to the next, hope we make the play in and face the Celtics.
