00:00But I thought the calls in the game were horrific.
00:04And not only that, I thought that the players, you know,
00:08with all this twirling after every single call, like every call is wrong.
00:12I never commit a foul.
00:14I've never touched anyone.
00:15I never did anything.
00:17I mean, watching the game is torture with the calls.
00:20I really, I think it's torture.
00:23I think it's a modern NBA player thing.
00:28You see Oklahoma City do it, Minnesota do it, the Knick players do it,
00:34the Pacer players do it.
00:36They all want and won after.
00:39Like, even if they score, Carl Anthony Towns is the worst.
00:43Like, this guy scores, and even if he's not touched,
00:46he looks at the ref after like, you know what I mean?
00:48Where's my bonus?
00:49Where's my bonus?
00:51Every play, everybody does it.
00:53SGA actually does it, right?
00:55You know, it's something that I've always liked about Kawhi Leonard, Scott.
00:58He doesn't talk to the refs.
01:00Like, he's like the only player in the NBA.
01:02He does not talk to the refs.
01:04He doesn't ask for calls.
01:05He doesn't complain for calls.
01:07He doesn't, like, shrug for calls.
01:08You think they should get rid of it?
01:09The constant checking, the replay, and it should be like a ref decision,
01:15not a challenge, but a new system.
01:18This isn't working where every whistle, they do this.
01:22I like, bro.
01:23I've seen Steve Kerr, Traymond Green, doing this to Steve Kerr,
01:27and Kerr just looks at him and looks the other way.
01:30He's like, bro, I'm not challenging something just because you want me to.
01:34Right?
01:34Like you said, like, imagine if you listened to the players every time.
01:37You'd never have any challenges.
01:39You'd be out of challenges four minutes into the game.
01:42You'd be like, I'm out of challenges, dumbass,
01:44because you complained earlier.
01:45They think they need a new system like it's not working.
01:49No, you know, I don't listen.
01:51It takes too long.
01:52I never have a problem with the replay.
01:54I never have a problem with getting it right.
01:56Right?
01:56I want to get the calls right.
01:58But it turns into a parade of reviews, Scott,
02:02and it does kill the flow of the game.
02:04And for the love of God, you and I can tell what the call is
02:07within, like, two seconds watching it, a replay,
02:10yet they stretch it out for two, three minutes.
02:12It kills the flow.
02:14How about how late they call fouls?
02:16Like, the guy will have a rebound, he's running the other way,
02:18and they blow the whistle.
02:19The thing is, though, the series with the Knicks and Pacers
02:22has been different than the Oklahoma City-Minnesota series.
02:27The Oklahoma-Minnesota series, they're letting them kill each other.
02:30Like, they are literally, like, murdering each other out there,
02:33and they're not calling it.
02:36The Knicks and Pacers, I don't know if they're scared
02:38that it's going to blow into something,
02:40and they want to police it.
02:44I don't know, like, you know, the method to the madness here.
02:47I mean, if anything, I don't think there's any conspiracy
02:49or anything like that.
02:51I mean, if anything, Scott, the Pacers,
02:53the NBA doesn't want the Pacers in the finals.
02:55They would much rather have the New York Knicks in the finals.
03:00They're going to get them.
03:02The officiating is the officiating in the NBA.
03:04It is what it is.
03:05Like you said earlier, a couple minutes ago, and it's true.
03:07It doesn't change, like, the thing in the NBA.
03:09You know what you're getting.
03:11Like, that's the thing with, like, NBA refs.
03:12You know, okay, Scott Foster, we're getting this.
03:14He's going to over-police everything.
03:16He's going to want to be involved in everything.
03:18Last night, Oklahoma City and Minnesota,
03:20I don't even know who the ref was,
03:21and that's probably a good thing, right?
03:23It's like the best umpire.
03:24You don't know their names, right?
03:26Like, last night, the refs were like, no, man.
03:28Like, whatever.
03:28You guys are beating each other up.
03:29That's basketball.
03:30Let it play on.
03:32So each series has been different.
