[Begley] Asked about the 2-minute report, Tom Thibodeau says he’s more concerned about ‘the 46-minute report.” Says that he knew refs couldn’t call fouls there because of the way they officiated Jalen Brunson during Game 2.

[This is what Thibs is talking about and he’s 100% correct](https://x.com/talkinknicks/status/1782607868811722858?s=46&t=6NOubzOQpD7_IEyGZ56Y3w)
There were also several other instances where Batum and Oubre were tugging on Brunson’s jersey with no fouls being called.
I just hope certain Sixers fans and NBA fans in general can come to realize that the two minute report does not accurately reflect with what the refs had been calling all game. That’s all.

If they’re gonna get away with guarding our PGs like this then they can’t call the “missed” fouls at the end
Some teams have decided to foul like hell and call it defense. They know refs can’t/wont call all.
Unfortunately players need to be aggressive on offense to counter this.
76ers fans going to continue to blame the refs instead of maxey for just rolling the ball out there for hart to snatch and then not boxing out because the Knicks freaking missed. It’s really embarrassing
Sixers Fans have honestly been embarassing, Embiid is literally getting any call he wants and the Sixers were allowed to hack Josh Hart all game across the arm. And when one small call doesnt go their way they literally collapse mentally, it’s hilarious to watch
NBA should make a 48 minute report fully available to the public. Really deliver betters and fans a comprehensive amount of stats and information to evaluate the impact of the refs on a particular game.
There needs to be an in depth analysis on how much true quantifiable impact a ref has game to game and whether this impact moves up when a team complains.
Next games have so much potential! As a neutral, this is great!

Let’s also talk about how everyone suddenly takes the l2m as gospel as if it hasn’t been bullshitting for over a year now
Basketball is just really hard to officiate, there will be dozens of missed calls every single game until the NBA empowers the replay center to take a much bigger role in officiating. Just as an example, it’s insane that we have to deal with incorrect out of bounds calls when someone in a replay center can correct it in literally 5 seconds.
In the 4th quarter Batum was literally hugging Brunson while guarding him off ball. If your gonna let them play then let them play
The refs are commiting errors and are not consistent? Just out-hustle and control what you can.
In this case this was the offensive rebounding again and Hart stealing a very unprotected ball.
I’m not a sixers fan but the delusion to think the Knicks didn’t win from officiating or atleast massively benefit is wild. It’s okay to admit y’all got blessed sometimes in the playoffs you need to be a little lucky.
Thibodeau has the most to gain from a championship. He’s a very good coach that has been stuck in the playoffs against super stars.
Can’t wait for the full game reports to get leaked or something. Call it Report Gate.
i think part of the reason the game is officiated inconsistently is the slippery slope of basically greenlighting carrying on every single dribble possession
the ballhandler gets so much mobility and freedom of movement being able to carry the ball, which forces the defender into a compromised position that requires more contact in order to defend effectively
because of this, the refs knowing that they’re overlooking the carries maybe intentionally and/or subconciously allow more contact. then this sets a precedent within the game. but towards the end of the game they see that either the carries or the contact become too egregious to ignore. carry hard and blow past the defender but get hit with contact? tough shit make your shot. on the flipside, just beat the defender with skill/speed and get a 50/50 touch foul, here are your freethrows good sir.
IMO if they clamp down on carries (and travels, but they’re fairly OK for those and they don’t give as much advantage) the games will be reffed more consistently and fairly in a domino effect
This sub will use embiid to deflect any legitimate criticism is actually embarrassing how far removed this sub is from any serious discussion about basketball it follow the narrative or be downvoted and reported
Reality is games aren’t decided solely in the final 2 minutes. Magic outscored the Cavs from the 2nd quarter onwards in game 2 and still lost because of the first 12 minutes.
You just can’t complain about the final 2 mins when guys like Embiid will fall over when a 5’10”, 150lb guard slightly brushes his shoulder. It’s not like the 76ers don’t benefit from crummy whistles most games.
Thibs rules
People just Assume refs ain’t human
The Sixers were robbed, did you see how the refs let Brunson hit that 3? The refs also lifted up iHart to grab that rebound. And it was utterly disrespectful how the refs blocked Tyrese Maxey’s layup to take the lead back.
Sad
THATS MY HEAD COACH
If my brother did that shit to me, his new name would raccoon or bandit, if ya know what I mean
Thibs stay ready for the questions
All I’ve seen since game 1 is an organization that is fundamentally adverse to any sort of personal accountability. Not a single person in that organization outside maxey could look into a camera and say “I fucked up, and made a mistake, we need to do better” it’s all whining and bitching about refs. Bunch of spineless bitches. Can’t wait until we rinse and repeat this cycle again next year, as is tradition at this point.
