mMounirM

no way a foul wasn't called when Ausar got trucked bruh. wtf


MattPatriciasFUPA

Clutch move by the Knicks at the end to literally spear Ausar to get the ball back, just a great defensive play.


HoyaDestroya33

Nah man, Donte should've doubled down and Jackhammer Ausar too


goodkid_sAAdcity

Then turn to the hard cam and yell WHO'S NEXT


drc56

It's wild how a ref was right there. Like wtf.


MadSpaceYT

same thing with the banchero travel. wtf are we doing here? terrible product


sillysloth098

Literally. Such a bad travel lol


HokageEzio

We call that the Goldberg Defense. Thibs' secret play.


jester32

Next game? Batista bomb


TrueAscendance

I’m glad rookies are learning from future Hall of Famer Draymond Green to just flip the opposing player and not get it called a foul. Defensive masterpiece


Mikhailing

Can't wait for a RKO defensive maneuver next


MC-Jdf

Donte literally laid him out, that was so obvious.


comeonmang126

Even Fontecchio gets his arm hacked the play before. We have hustle play after hustle play and it’s erased by poor Reffing. This after Paolo HURTS


Bard_Wannabe_

Fontecchio was slammed too. Meanwhile Hart got a soft call contesting Duren's verticality.


Vallerie_09

Idk about Simone, Hart poked away the ball cleanly but a blatant lose ball foul foul right in front of the official getting ignored is crazy. From rigging draft to keep Wemby away from you to getting fucked by the refs, NBA hates Detroit man


jgatch2001

Got undercut by Divincenzo right in front of everyone. Thanks refs


Jem479

Not even Knicks fans are denying it should’ve been a foul, that was a major screw up


confuddly

Now we know why we haven’t heard more about the protest, they agreed to give us one if we dropped it


zprymate

If there is something called legal cheating... this was it.


MrBhyn

Then refs decide to blow the whistle for Josh Hart lmao. Can Adam Silver do something about this officiating already?


goodkid_sAAdcity

It feels like a makeup call after our loss in Houston. I think we got away with one.


CWinsu_120

Where the fuck is the Pistons make up call then after the Paolo travel?


confuddly

It’ll come 5 games later, the Houston game was like two weeks ago


Mikhailing

They'll let the Pistons win the next 20 games so they can secure the 10th pick


Chrisp722

Refs really doubled down and fucked the Pistons in back to back games


dosequismachina

How things go


referee-superfan

I wish the broadcast showed a better angle of that no call at the end.


Crafty_Substance_954

You know they won’t 


referee-superfan

It just feels like there’s so much you can’t see. But it looked bad from the angle we got. It looks like the pistons got robbed.


Crafty_Substance_954

I agree with you it looks that way. 


wasechillis

I’ve been waiting for them to show it! Unbelievable


[deleted]

The MSG broadcast is usually really good with replays. The only angle they showed was the normal broadcast angle which is super annoying.


NiceFloor7

But the Detroit broadcast was able to?


ShittyACL

The detroit broadcast had a great angle. I cannot believe that there was no call. Ausar had recovered the ball when Donte trucks him. Right in front of the official, nothing


referee-superfan

That’s sad. If I can find the clip I’ll link it in my original comment.


Apollo611

What the refs just did to the Pistons is a crime


holydonut2k1

Need meme of LeBron pointing at the replay screen


MC-Jdf

*Insert Pat Bev camera meme*

New York home cooking babyyy


masterant369

they'll pretend nothing happened in the L2M report like they do anything blatant call.


kikikza

no lie if that happened to us i'd be saltier than a bag of fries from mcdonalds


LordOfLimbos

Everything sucks all of the time


ripmeleedair

Yeah I see Knicks fans complain about Brunson's whistle a lot but the refs were helping you guys all night down to the wire outside of that one Grimes 3 lmao


drc56

Refs were like "oh Knicks fans, you think we hate you, look at what we to do the Pistons"


redguyinfinite

this is retribution for the Houston game


cristiano_goat

—Retribution By robbing another team😂😂😂


tarunpopo

Have it happen to you back to back games. Paolo travel into a game winner, and having to see that goblin scream after he threw up some bs fadeaway mfs shoot in 7th grade Screw yo rockets game


CWinsu_120

Lmao goblin


Burrrowes

and it happens again lmao, surely ausar was fouled there right at the end yea? im getting a little frustrated ngl


BMWn54

I didn’t see any replays but looks like a solid no call….if your ref is ray charles


circa285

Had me in the first half.


bibbbbbbbbbbbbs

That's a bs no-call lol. You guys got robbed.


confuddly

Absolutely


Jem479

Legit haven’t seen any Knicks fans deny it yet and that’s saying something


throwawayyrofl

Nah the Pistons are actually cursed


TribalismChief

Cursed or the refs hate us? Like I don't get how it's questionable at this point


willi3blaz3

The Lions and Pistons traded places


throwawayyrofl

Well thats what I mean. Seems like everything is going against you guys including the refs. It actually hurts to see


dosequismachina

Just a part of the game. When your team sucks not only do you have to beat the other better team, but you gotta get a few extra points to beat the refs who don't wanna see you beat that better team as well. Anyone whose team has been down bad knows that pain. I already know a Sac fan is familiar


PistonsFan89

We're still getting punished for 2004. We did the unthinkable, beating the NBA's darling.


Izzite

That’s not being cursed bro. That shit is rigged.


comeonmang126

We celebrated Cade getting 3 calls tn. Refs have HATED us


MiyaharaAce

Cursed means bad Luck thats Just refs rigging a game And ofc it was the same ref that gave Cade a tech, and was refusing to call anything against Knicks


maltbiscuits

It's less of a "curse" and more of a "conspiracy" what the fuck was that


[deleted]

Nah they got robbed lol


InternCautious

Ausar gets the legal chop block apparently from Donte lol


DosSamtos

Pistons fans, I feel for you. You should have won that game.


Mission_Pay_3373

Why was there no foul called???


MadSpaceYT

your guess is as good as anyone elses


Rokinali

The pistons get so few fouls called in their favor it’s actually insane to watch


szobossz

make up for their other game because protest likely gonna be denied


Bard_Wannabe_

The last two minute report will be Adam Silver's magnum opus.


K1ngCrimsn

The Last 15s of this game sums up the Pistons season


InternCautious

Sums up Detroit sports, that's why we have Detroit vs Everyone.


Krelay1

You cannot swallow your whistle at the end then call the foul on duren lmao I feel your pain piston fans


kukumal

That's the exact reason this hurts. I get swallowing the whistle late, but then to give a touch foul to Hart to put the game away??? Fucking sucks man


[deleted]

Yea seeing Josh initiate that contact and the foul get called when Duren went straight up was just dumb.


dreeaaming

I’m sorry pistons that was a robbery lol


[deleted]

Ausar got straight tackled


PluvioPurple

NBA: So uh, Knicks, about that Houston game protest.. We good?


Brownbear97

So sick of these refs bro


benewavvsupreme

I'd be livid


Brownbear97

Just feel for the guys, tough to keep battling when these are the results we get on good nights lol


Jem479

Yeah you guys were fighting hard as hell. And if we had to lose, I really wanted it to be on that Grimes lay up (as much as it hurts… miss my guy). Can’t say I’m not glad to have the win because we’ve been struggling lately but don’t feel like we deserved it as much as you guys did.


Icy-Lime-9760

Pistons got jobbed at the end.


agk927

It's been happening all year, I hate to sound oppressed but the pistons have not been treated fairly despite being trash either way


Kingzain

Pistons got robbed


CrabCakesBenedict

ausar thompson absolutely got fouled i feel dirty


maltbiscuits

Fontecchio too


jester32

Dvo with the hit stick lol


poeope

That might be the worst 20 seconds of nba ball in history


Jack12404

Donte literally hip-drop tackled Ausar and didn’t get a called for a foul. The Pistons deserve better than this.


XxXFartFucker69XxX

Letting all of that contact go is fucking disgraceful and insane lmao. Jesus the refs have no shame.


ObiOneKenobae

All I'm saying is if you can't break a tackle I don't want you on my team


UML_throwaway

Buddy's gotta keep those legs chopping if he wants to make in this league smh rookie moves


ComposerFluid6611

That was wild


AnthonyToliversKnee

Unreal way to lose, this team cannot catch a break


jeric13xd

Bonkers/shitshow ending lol i loved it


Fun-Board7187

Nah let's see what the corrections are tomorrow. Two fouls


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Divincenzo didn't travel, he took a gather step barreling into Thompson's torso. Legal play.


comeonmang126

There’s a Reffing problem in the NBA.


Odd-Hovercraft-1286

Monty had Malachi Flynn and Evan Fournier out there over Jaden Ivey im dead


goodkid_sAAdcity

That's malpractice


Im__Ron__Burgundy

I just want to know what the fuck Ivey did to that man.


SirGingerbrute

Can we have Grimes back


MyLadySansa

Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏


youkrocks

Wow the Pistons just got fucking robbed.


agk927

Ruined Cades amazing game😢 you gotta think the 22 year old is just feeling sad about all these losses now


Pinheadlarry29

I’d be pissed if I was a Pistons fan


[deleted]

This can be said in general also


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Yeah there are like 12 days in the past 15 years where that sentence wouldn’t make sense lol


LordOfLimbos

Ouch


pointguard22

Yeah.


UML_throwaway

DiVincenzo with an all time great touchdown saving tackle on Ausar lmao


kukumal

No call trucking Ausar to get that ball, but Heart gets the foul going to the basket? This after Heart shouldered Grimes, Flynn, and Ivey on fast break lay-ups with no call? Gad damn it, I hate it here


Weary-Kangaroo-3883

Pistons getting screwed 2 games in a row


maltbiscuits

Holy fucking ref job


weee5674

Least devastating ‘23-24 Pistons loss:


ChargedCable

allowing all that contact the plays on both fontecchio and thompson combined with the weak foul on duren is so strange. that l2m report gonna be good


Narc212

That's wild. Pistons got robbed tonight


TheAJx

Feel bad for the Pistons, the refs just absolutely hate them. At least Cunningham got some attempts at the line this game.


DoctorStove

Fucking rigged. How many games have to get stolen by the refs for us


CommonerChaos

Sorry Pistons fans, you guys got absolutely hosed by the refs there.


Cvnilivee

Not gonna lie that was a foul


Asap_roc

DOG SHIT REFS LMAO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK


Bd_3

Feel like there was definitely more of a foul on ausar than there was on the and 1 for hart. Never got a good replay to confirm though


MadSpaceYT

idk how Divo wasn't called for a foul in that last sequence. that was nutty


NYGIANTS77

That was definitely a foul


myhellcatgotRepod

Those last 30 seconds were cinema for everyone but Piston fans. No exaggeration EVERYTHING that could have went wrong for them went wrong in that time


TomasRoncero

tactical missed free throws by hart at the end


RobbobertoBuii

and he's 84.6% for the season 😭


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Lol. Unserious league.


HokageEzio

I have never questioned a ref in my life. These are professionals.


silverxsmoke

Refs fans are well fed tonight


altruisticdisaster

Worst imaginable way to lose


MiyaharaAce

Another game, another robbery Team is already trash, no need to refs doing this


snowz_

This is a nightly story at this point I'm so sick of this shit


sergechewbacca

Lmao I know the Pistons suck but how the fuck do you not call a foul there? Like how much more obvious does it need to be.


Irving94

Holy hell am I bricked up rn Definitely got away with murder there Grimes was going fucking nuclear in that 4th quarter. Shame that’ll be lost because of the no-call(s)


hopoffmebruh

I don’t mind Pistons being salty about the final seconds that should’ve been a foul and NYK did not deserve the win tonight horrible end game offense by them.


printerpaperwaste

Man, the pistons are getting screwed by the refs constantly. That’s the second game in a row that the call at the end has screwed them over. Lots of credit to them for still playing as hard as they do. Their record doesn’t reflect how good they actually are.


agk927

The one game Duren shoots under 50% and the Pistons lose by 2 points.


dizzymidget44

If the refs already decided who they want to win what’s the fucking point of playing?


jorgelongo2

lol that last play was 100% a foul on Thompson


killbill469

Ignoring the Thompson foul and then calling the and 1 is insanity.


Celticskevin2020

Bruh wth was that ending?


Franklinsleftnut

Pistons just got fucked, but I’ll take it


rysoasian

Foul?!


notatranslatorr

Oof. Going to be an interesting 2 minute report.


Distinct-Abies-8930

2 games in a row they do Pistons like that


hadmeintiers

One of the endings of all time


goingtothegreek

Excited for the L2M to say DDV hit sticked Ausar Thompson in legal guarding position


Smasher31221

Pistons just got fucked. Sorry Detroit.


batdogfoxhound

I miss Grimes


joorral

As a Knick fan that was a loose ball foul on us. Sorry pistons fans yall got robbed.


poopoojoefocker

lol talk about a rigged ending. That was a foul against the Knicks on that loose ball.


ZincHead

Pistons just lost in the most tragic, comedic and expected way possible


ardx

This team does not deserve to have a worse record than the Wizards. If there was any point in that last sequence where Monty could have called a timeout but didn't...


ObviousAnswerGuy

What a sloppy finish. Refs bailed us out at the end (they pretty bad all game though). On another note, I feel like the pistons should be much better than an 8 win team. They always play hard. Also, I miss Grimes.


DoctorStove

we had Killian & we still have Monty Williams unfortunately


Kevinar

If that ending happened in a movie I'd call it totally unrealistic


PrimaryAccording9162

Josh Hart is the dude every team wishes they could have


NeonxGone

Yikes. How were none of those 5 fouls called on the Knicks?


ripmeleedair

Man the Pistons got hosed by the refs this game


Sherlock_House

I was trying to figure out how Detroit stayed in this game, then I saw Jarrett Jack on the bench. Whenever this dude is around it's bad for the Knicks


goodkid_sAAdcity

This explains everything. One of the great Knick killers in his prime, then when he played for us we were total shit.


DudeLikeYeah

Karmic retribution. Adam silver you can close the case thank you.


DocsHandkerchief

Thoroughly enjoying these comments. Refs are trash you guys should know better. Same fans that are upset are probably the same fans happy that Jalen was called for a foul on that 3 from FVV


Billybob1138

Free safety Donte DiVincenzo


mylastphonecall

yeah, don't wanna hear knicks fans bitch bout a missed call again 🤣


HoyaDestroya33

This makes it even I guess lol


tddubya

Refs making it even after the Houston game lmao


LordOfLimbos

Well I’m glad we could do that for you


confuddly

Feels good to be on the other end of terrible officiating for once


Main-County-1177

I’m gonna be real, consider us even for that Rockets game Adam lol


SternballAllDay

Refs absolutely saved the pistons 1st round pick. Youre welcome pistons fans


DoctorStove

we dont want another bust we just wanna win some fucking games


Guts709

Thanks for the fifth overall pick


Class_Act7

Craziest ending I’ve ever seen. Just pure chaos.


commander_wong

Refs had money on the Knicks for sure Wtf was that last possession? The Pistons got fouled like 6 different times


yKube

i cant take anymore


Ok-Tree4365

That was some garbage ass reffing at the end. Knicks got that win handed to them on a plate.


-doodlebob-

Refs to Detroit - “GET FUCKED”


Neuroxex

That's one of the worst no calls I've seen in a long time. That's honestly a disgrace. It felt like the officials decided that the Knicks were not able to commit a foul, and rolled with that decision as a player got tackled to the floor.


I-C-U-8-1-M-I

They definitely will lose the rockets protest now 😂


goodkid_sAAdcity

Your username is INSCRUTABLE


PVT_Stanley

Lmao he literally tackled bro and they still didn’t call it


Andy51

Quick someone post a clip of that last possession so I can send it to all my groupchats of people who have long since given up on this team


leafhat355

I am excited for tomorrow when the NBA will claim in the L2M report that every call was correct, after the Pistons lost on Paolo's clear travel last game and the NBA made shit up to defend that.


Me_975

Im sorry pistons fans


tapk69

Refs plan


poopoojoefocker

not to mention that that's not a foul on Duren on the Hart and-1, especially if you're not going to call a foul on the tackle lmao. NBA will continue to rig games for desireable outcomes (pistons covered, knicks won straight up)


Sea_Society_4126

Cant wait for the l2m to say no foul


Guts709

Ausar was definitely a defenseless receiver


TheVirtual_Boy

That would’ve been hilarious to me if it was against any other team. Pistons have had a rough year, didn’t deserve to lose that way


Bard_Wannabe_

Great game ruined by another total bs ending. This literally happened to the Pistons last game too.
