    This is being discussed on the NBA subreddit, but some people are claiming racism. Some of the fouls seemed like missed calls. I think we've all seen missed calls. The first foul by Kobe should have been a flagrant, but the rest of them looked like average fouls to me that happened during the course of the play. Seems like a whole bunch of drama about nothing. Do you agree?

    That actually looks worse than it is.

    He catches the ball, takes two steps, dribbles, and then takes three steps. Definitely a travel, but at first glance it looks like he takes five or six steps.

    In any case, Lin has a fanatical base of fobby analytics driven asians who really never followed basketball long term. They are horrible if you've ever gone to a game where he plays.

    It was hilarious how much they annoyed Rockets fans.

    I'm sure you could make a compilation video of missed calls for just about any player that spends a lot of time in the paint. You can easily do it for Dame. Nature of the game.

    You can pretty much tell from the bad grammar this was made by a bunch of Asians (duh). It's not racism and this video isn't going to do anything. Complete non-issue.

    I found it interesting that the flagrant fouls that they used as examples were very hard fouls with lots of contact. The fouls on Lin were, for the most part, slaps or pokes that happened in the process of going for the ball. That foul by Aldridge in the playoffs was clearly him going for the block and hitting Lin on the followthrough. They're not going to call a flagrant on that.

    "LOF"s as they called them. They also follow Lin where ever he goes. Lakersground was fun to read last year. The Hornets don't really have enough of an internet fanbase to annoy.

    That's the problem with the NBA right now. Just because you get hit in the head doesn't mean it's a flagrant foul. I need to look at the video again but at first glance I don't see one flagrant foul on it.

    The Kobe foul seemed like it could have been. The others though.... not so much.

    Wait, I take that back. The Kobe foul was definitely flagrant.

    Well if the below isn't a travel; I guess Lin's isn't either.

    Yes I saw that, any post that isn't supporting Lin gets downvoted to shit.

    I read but don't post on reddit because its a huge circle jerk. Have a different opinion? Sorry, downvoted to shit and no one will ever read it.
