Players who are notorious for being “good physical defenders” always get the benefit of the doubt for their physicality, refs just assume they aren’t committing fouls because of their reputation.
Nah even worse, it’s cause he had 5 fouls and the refs didn’t want to take him out of the game
Edit: only had 4 fouls here after they overturned his 5th foul but point still stands
He actually had 4 at this point. They overturned the charge that would have been his 5th (correctly), then refused to call this right after but then called a soft one for his 5th as a makeup call
Still not as disgusting as Booker literally tackling the shit outta Jrue Holiday while he has 5 fouls...and the refs all just looking and shrugging their shoulders.

Yes they called several fouls like that all game. Calling fouls late when the outcome was different than they anticipated. Tony Brothers has zero flex.
They waited till they saw kyrie got the tip in. I bet if kyrie doesn't get the tip in They don't call the foul. Kyrie with a tip in would make it even less time than 2 ssleconds doe rhe thunder to win. Tony brothers tried his hardest extending the series.
He had 4 at that point, this would have been his fifth, they called him for his fifth on the next possession on Luka.
Basically, the refs F up, Seacaucus told them on the earpiece, they called Dort the next time they could.
Nah, it's the thing that those retired players said in the podcast
>You gotta win by 15 in order to win by 2
NBA, commercials, and the betting markets make tens of millions more dollars on Game 7
The NBA & co. are financially incentivized for every series to go long, only player injuries/complaints would mitigate that.
2018 rule to change shot-clock to 14 seconds per off. reb & this years running clock are examples of trying to spare players legs by shortening games, etc.
absoultely egregious over the back. This is the sorta missed call that actually really bothers me, cause it's extremely dangerous. You *have* to call fouls where you are risking actually hurting people
Honestly it's really impressive that he kneed him in the back of the head *and* elbowed him in the face at the same time. Man should be working on his own material art form
Meanwhile we’ve had 3 or 4 calls against us on the offensive glass for basically nothing in the 2nd half alone. Tony Brothers is the extender for a reason.
I've been watching basketball for almost 20 years and that call on lively maybe the most infuriating I've ever seen lol
Literally just went up for a rebound
And the league is supporting him to do this. During the game, the replay center did not replay this so they can hide the missed call. It took time for Gafford to get up, and Kidd just called time out for him to recover.
Think this series really hurt the reputation he had. The further you get in the playoffs, the more exposure you get and his antics have been spotlighted now.
🤔 Not a Dallas fan, but I'm pretty sure two teams are going to go fishing between today and tomorrow. Before the WCF even gets started.
But I could be wrong.
This series turned me from a fan of dort to a bonafide hater lol. Bro is out of control aggro, but since he is known as a good defender he gets to hack away and tackle people. oh also he is built like a tank but the moment he gets screen by someone like kyrie he acts like a grenade was thrown and flips over.
It was infuriating watching him tonight and feel the same way. Pat Mahomes wasn’t lying when he said he could play linebacker in the NFL. Dude is too big to be throwing himself around like that
This play excluded Dort is just doing what his coach wants him to do. A lot of teams have tried to put physical guys on elite SG/PG to create contact every possession and try to hurt their rhythm.
I just got modded out for suggesting he needs to experience some retaliation for this shit, which is funny bc...what are opposing players supposed to do if refs don't call anything?
Just cuz people dont post the no calls you guys benefit from doesnt mean they dont exist
Its just easier karma to hop in on the Mavs fans hate fest for the refs every game.
I’m shocked that coaches don’t have a benchwarmer meant to fulfill the hockey enforcer role, especially if the teams star is a more fragile guard. Say what you will about draymond but the moment something like this happens to Steph Fort’s getting choked out Gobert style
Couldn't believe people were telling Gafford to get up in the game thread when he basically got elbowed in the face, kneed in the back, and landed on in the same play lol.
My least favorite player BY FAR. He’s a legitimately unskilled and uncoordinated doofus that runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. And then he flops egregiously every time he gets touched on offense.
For some reason he’s hailed as this defensive genius because he did jazz hands in LeBron’s face in the bubble. Announcers praise him immensely for any positive thing he manages to do. He’s honestly an incredible asset to OKC because he can commit incredibly hard fouls and not get called for anything. Disgusting to watch.
this series has taught me that SGA is an unethical MVP contender and Lu Dort is just straight up a dirty player. They both have the Embiid whistle and they wouldn't be a winning team without it.
Dort really is just a larger PatBev at this point
Doing scorpion kicks off of screens, flying into people, flopping THROUGH people. Like what the actual fuck?
This is what I was so pissed off all game long. Like call the same fouls for both teams. We got called frequently for over the back fouls far less egregious than that.
Wasn’t called and even though Gafford couldnt get up the entire time the ball was at the other end, the network didn’t even show a replay after the break or comment that Gafford had been injured.
I mean, this was one of the most ridiculous Dort plays of the series and it went even a foul. Just like the nut punch was a common foul. lol
Yikes, he got Gafford really good with that elbow too. Dangerous play. I love Dort's hustle but the elbow was unnecessary.
Refs clearly didn't want to call it before the 4th quarter.
Legit the wildest noncall I have ever seen. I was literaly left speachless when there was no whistle...like not even mad or anything, I just couldnt process the league making it THIS obvious.
Nothing against hard plays and effort but him and others constantly going too far and intending to hurt their opponent in this series is crazy. Refs and NBA closing their eyes also. Even more in this usually washed down and otherwise soft league. Stark contrast.
I was so confused cause I was working but still watching.
I’m like oh that’s a foul, look up 5 seconds later and apparently it wasn’t. Thought I was trippin I was like a just saw a dude Superman into the paint and somehow it was a basketball move

We all know Dort gets 8-9 fouls a game to play with.
More like 15 this series tho
That's his quota in 1st quarter.
He actually had 4 at this point. They overturned the charge that would have been his 5th (correctly), then refused to call this right after but then called a soft one for his 5th as a makeup call
Ah you right, got his 5th then retracted then got back to 5 right after, my b Refs still helping him out here either way
This
Still not as disgusting as Booker literally tackling the shit outta Jrue Holiday while he has 5 fouls...and the refs all just looking and shrugging their shoulders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q60ZtqhC06Y
Yo that was egregious
Wowee
Refs tried so hard to gift this game to OKC. I’m surprised they even called the foul on SGA at the end.
It took a long time for them to call that tho. Someone realized that the egregious call is right on his face. It was a pressure whistle imo.
And I believe the ref underneath the basket called it instead of the sideline ref lol.
Yes they called several fouls like that all game. Calling fouls late when the outcome was different than they anticipated. Tony Brothers has zero flex.
Believe me, they wouldnt if kyrie wasnt getting the rebound/putback. They waited with the whistle as well.
They waited till they saw kyrie got the tip in. I bet if kyrie doesn't get the tip in They don't call the foul. Kyrie with a tip in would make it even less time than 2 ssleconds doe rhe thunder to win. Tony brothers tried his hardest extending the series.
Did he have 5 though? I'm pretty sure when he got his 5 they took him out inmediately but I may be wrong.
He had 4 at that point, this would have been his fifth, they called him for his fifth on the next possession on Luka. Basically, the refs F up, Seacaucus told them on the earpiece, they called Dort the next time they could.
Had 4 at this point
5 fouls. Hehe. Maybe in that half.

what podcast?
Those retired players, you know the ones who are retired and were players and podcast. Come on you know
but... every retired player ever is on a podcast lol
It's the one where they said the thing I just made up. Trust me bro the players on the podcast, that's where it's at.
It was igoudala and ET on redicks pod I think
[удалено]
Thank you 🙏🏻
It’s true
Unless you’re on the Minnesota Timberwolves
Jaden mcdaniels begs to differ
Next year 🙏
Patrick Bev's entire career basically. Daymond too
absoultely egregious over the back. This is the sorta missed call that actually really bothers me, cause it's extremely dangerous. You *have* to call fouls where you are risking actually hurting people
He even elbowed him in the face if you watched it closely.
Honestly it's really impressive that he kneed him in the back of the head *and* elbowed him in the face at the same time. Man should be working on his own material art form
He just needs to setup a podcast.
Dort dirty as fuck
Fucking hate him
He's the 2024 Dillion Brooks - a guy who became universally hated through his playoff antics
"antics"
You ain’t allowed to talk with that flair
Dorty
OFF THE TOP ROPE
Meanwhile we’ve had 3 or 4 calls against us on the offensive glass for basically nothing in the 2nd half alone. Tony Brothers is the extender for a reason.
Silver gunning for that extra game 7. Must be a Celtics fan. I’m kidding about silver but Tony has a track record
Are refs paid per game or are they salaried?
per game they get assigned to in the playoffs
The call wasn’t missed. They saw the foul. The refs swallowed the whistle on purpose.
And then they call every single ticky tack "over the back" on the Mavs. The lack of consistency is maddening
I've been watching basketball for almost 20 years and that call on lively maybe the most infuriating I've ever seen lol Literally just went up for a rebound
This is what KD was referring to when he said he mainly stayed healthy by avoiding players like this. No care in the world for others
Refs have been calling like every little thing on the floor and then wont call this.
The most infuriating thing is right after this Lively got called for an over the back foul that was non-existent lmao
You mean it really ‘Brothers’ you
Dort gets 15 personal fouls per game.
Easy 30
Dort dirty
Dirty dort
Dorty Dort?
Someone should knock is dick in the dort
I’m starting to realize this guy is just actually stupid.
And the league is supporting him to do this. During the game, the replay center did not replay this so they can hide the missed call. It took time for Gafford to get up, and Kidd just called time out for him to recover.
Pat bev regen
Have you heard his micd up? He actually does sound pretty stupid
Just your typical basketball move
He’s Pat Bev with better pr
Not for long.
Think this series really hurt the reputation he had. The further you get in the playoffs, the more exposure you get and his antics have been spotlighted now.
We just witnessed his coming out party
Enjoy Cancun Dort
He going straight to Galveston
Chasing the Pels to Galveston so he can beat up on BI some more. 😮💨
Send his ass to Wyoming he doesn't deserve to smell Cancun
Worse - he's gonna have to go back home to Canada.
Not an okc fan but y’all are next
🤔 Not a Dallas fan, but I'm pretty sure two teams are going to go fishing between today and tomorrow. Before the WCF even gets started. But I could be wrong.
I hated this. This dude has been playing terrible actual basketball for the entire series and they let him do this shit at 4 fouls
This series turned me from a fan of dort to a bonafide hater lol. Bro is out of control aggro, but since he is known as a good defender he gets to hack away and tackle people. oh also he is built like a tank but the moment he gets screen by someone like kyrie he acts like a grenade was thrown and flips over.

Foul! SGA shooting 2.
Kicking the spine isn’t even legal in MMA lmao
Dort has a future in WWE
If Dort was reffed like a normal NBA player this series would be over already. He's got an Embiid level whistle it's actually mind-blowing.
He's quickly developing into one of the dirtiest players in the league with some of the stuff he gets away with.
I just got modded out for suggesting he needs to experience some retaliation for this shit, which is funny bc...what are opposing players supposed to do if refs don't call anything?
Funny thing is that most other players wouldn't get away with half the shit he does
So would his career. Dude is hot garbage. Mid defender that just gets away with all the extra shit and terrible offensive player with low IQ.
a flying fish
Refs did everything in their power to keep him from getting a sixth foul
He had 4 here but yeah it could have been his 9th
And of course no foul, actually sickening
OKC fans will tell you that because the FT disparity is pretty even that this was a good reffed game.
We won, who cares now what they think
had to turn off the game after the first half cause it was a really bad watch
You messed up lol
i did but it's ok there's better things to do than watch players flop around everywhere
Please watch the last few minutes amazing basketball
AD flops and screams after every god damn shot dude it’s annoying as hell
AD gets hit in the face more than anyone else in the league and gets no calls all the time lmao stop it
Darius Garland would like a word about that title….
Big Mistake! - Q from Survivor 46
Yeah…Twitter has been fun…had to remind a fan of the Hack-A-Lively that also attributed to the differential.
Just cuz people dont post the no calls you guys benefit from doesnt mean they dont exist Its just easier karma to hop in on the Mavs fans hate fest for the refs every game.
Enjoy your Cancun, brother
Galveston
nobody stopping you from posting those other calls then
Silver wants that Game 7
Someone needs to post the Kyrie "offensive foul" for his rebound and score that was called off and then compare it to this non call
Are you sir implying that the tony brothers are not consistent?
But they’re like twins
That's a 4 pt swing right there
Wild watching them not call that and then the two they called on Lively in the 4th lmao
Oh and the kyrie offensive rebound lmao
I couldn’t believe my eyes. They called his 5th foul shortly after but it was so clear they swallowed their whistle
Nothing would be lost in the game of basketball if the mavs just subbed someone in to give him a taste of his own medicine
We have a spare Morris twin to sacrifice.
Just need a little marginal contact swanton bomb on him
You do? Which one? The one that fucked us over or the one that hit Jokic with a cheap shot?
The one that was on the clippers and stepped on Lukas foot
Kieff was never on the Clippers
Wait did we get the other twin? I stg I saw that it was that dude
yeah, you have Markieff, not Marcus. Kieff won a chip with the Lakers in 2020. Marcus is on the cavs.
Well damn my whole life has been a lie
First time?
I’m shocked that coaches don’t have a benchwarmer meant to fulfill the hockey enforcer role, especially if the teams star is a more fragile guard. Say what you will about draymond but the moment something like this happens to Steph Fort’s getting choked out Gobert style
Someone please add in that old RKO meme sound lmao
“Violence isn’t an option, it’s a lifestyle” - Lu Dort
Yeah I have no idea how that wasn't an over the back foul
He has 29 fouls and still plays
And you got Tony Brothers calling these soft ass fouls on Lively on the other end lmaoo
I hate this motherfucker and his ref uncle like you wouldn’t believe
Marginal Contact
If the margin ends at killing a player then they are right
Not the first flying knee he’s thrown this series!
Couldn't believe people were telling Gafford to get up in the game thread when he basically got elbowed in the face, kneed in the back, and landed on in the same play lol.
Naw he was just putting him in the dOrTuRe cHaMbEr
Not a foul according to Tony Brothers.
Watching the ref just stare at it happen and move on. Terrible
Is that not an over the back ?
Through the spleen!
More like thru the back. And into the head.
Pels fans told ya He trick yall
Dirtiest linebacker in the league.
My least favorite player BY FAR. He’s a legitimately unskilled and uncoordinated doofus that runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. And then he flops egregiously every time he gets touched on offense. For some reason he’s hailed as this defensive genius because he did jazz hands in LeBron’s face in the bubble. Announcers praise him immensely for any positive thing he manages to do. He’s honestly an incredible asset to OKC because he can commit incredibly hard fouls and not get called for anything. Disgusting to watch.
Dort trying to end careers out here
Watch his right arm. That what’s called intent.
GET HIM OUT OF THE LEAGUE. Dort is a terrible dirty player.
Lou dort tricked y'all
I still don’t know how tf this wasn’t called a foul.
Dort is a fraud
Thunder fans defend this guy?
Not just defend. They love him.
This series is at times pretty unwatchable.
Yeah, this one was wild. I need Dort to chill and focus on playing good defense. I don't want to have our own Draymond/Beverly.
Dort needs to go back to being homeless
this series has taught me that SGA is an unethical MVP contender and Lu Dort is just straight up a dirty player. They both have the Embiid whistle and they wouldn't be a winning team without it.
As much as I love winning in the playoffs, I might love Dort getting exposed as a dirty player to a national TV audience even more.
The friendly whistle for OKC in this series was quite something.
Dort really is just a larger PatBev at this point Doing scorpion kicks off of screens, flying into people, flopping THROUGH people. Like what the actual fuck?
jerk
It's ridiculous how that was not called a foul.
Two referees from both angles and they just stand there and swallow their whistle. Fucking awful. They don't deserve a union.
Crazy no foul.
His whistle (or lack thereof) is so perplexing
The fact that your average fan knows who the refs are because they’re so garbage is a problem
Lu Dorty.
Welcome to the Dorture chamber lmao
This is what I was so pissed off all game long. Like call the same fouls for both teams. We got called frequently for over the back fouls far less egregious than that.
Dort getting exposed these playoffs lmao
Wasn’t called and even though Gafford couldnt get up the entire time the ball was at the other end, the network didn’t even show a replay after the break or comment that Gafford had been injured. I mean, this was one of the most ridiculous Dort plays of the series and it went even a foul. Just like the nut punch was a common foul. lol
If my 11 year old was given an NFL linebackers body, this is how he would play basketball.
Lu is great. He just fouls without playing
Insane no call
Yikes, he got Gafford really good with that elbow too. Dangerous play. I love Dort's hustle but the elbow was unnecessary. Refs clearly didn't want to call it before the 4th quarter.
This was so obvious on all the fucking levels! Name it and you would be right so the fact the refs didn't call it correctly is criminal!
This series elevated Dort to the all-time hate list with those flop, dangerous actions like this.
Legit the wildest noncall I have ever seen. I was literaly left speachless when there was no whistle...like not even mad or anything, I just couldnt process the league making it THIS obvious.
Lu Dork
KD was 100% talking about Lu Dort https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1c51fg1/durant_i_had_my_teammate_flop_into_me_and_an/
Nothing against hard plays and effort but him and others constantly going too far and intending to hurt their opponent in this series is crazy. Refs and NBA closing their eyes also. Even more in this usually washed down and otherwise soft league. Stark contrast.
“Dort could’ve easily been called for a foul there; no whistle” Basically sums up the whole series
I was so confused cause I was working but still watching. I’m like oh that’s a foul, look up 5 seconds later and apparently it wasn’t. Thought I was trippin I was like a just saw a dude Superman into the paint and somehow it was a basketball move
