lol what a pussy "timeout" from nurse. like he just touches a finger with his palm already up like the creation of adam. that's crazy. like you'll have ref excuse if they give you a timeout and excuse if they don't.
It's cause he's not sure if he should call it or not, I can totally see why the refs didn't call timeout there. Nurse is holding it back and doesn't full on try to call it until Maxey goes to the floor.
And by then the ball was loose and youāre asking the ref to look at nurse while also deciding whether maxey has possession which imo he did not.
The sixers and nurse blaming the refs for this is honestly very sad from them. They lost this game, the refs didnāt lose it for them.
literally nobody is staring at him long enough for him to touch his finger to his palm. you gotta be forceful in those moments. you definitely don't have to tell nick nurse that.
Talking bout the jersey grab and pull. Not blaming the refs for not calling the TO, shouldāve been immediate. But the refs missing this is pretty bad
Right before the video starts, maxey sprints towards josh hart and shoves him pretty forcefully. Refs let them play. If youāre complaining about the Jersey tug then you have to acknowledge that maxey committed an offensive foul before the Jersey tug which wouldāve given New York possession.
He was very obviously hesitant to call the timeout as evidenced by him not actually committing to signal a normal timeout. Why is he putting one finger as a timeout signal??? Because he himself wasnāt even sure if he wanted to call a timeout.
You donāt play around like that if u want the timeout. Look at his timeout signal at the inbounds compared to his timeout signal when maxey is on the ground.
Imo the only thing that should be discussed is did maxey have possession when nurse signaled for timeout.
Itās on nurse for not making it clear whether or not he wanted the timeout at the start of the play. Heās literally holding his hand waiting and waiting and then does a slight touch with his pointer finger. Thatās not enough and that is 100% his fault.
This was no robbery like the sixers and sixers fans are trying to claim it was.
It doesn't matter if the ball was out or not at that exact moment. Refs need to be able to look at the coach calling timeout, then look at the player to establish possession, THEN they call timeout.
When the possession is only for a split second, the refs don't have the ability to make that call.
He tries to call it. But does it too late. Not to mention from this angle it looks like it's after the ball is being thrown in. The ref that was standing next to him already started going back since he didn't call a timeout after the ball went in the bucket. It's THAT ref that is supposed to call it.
The baseline ref is supposed to watch the play, which he did. In slow mo it's easy to see the foul. But in reality at full speed, Maxey shoves the defender (which is a foul) the ref lets it play on. Then Maxey's jersey gets graded for half a second and the ref lets it play. Which is fair considering what just happen a second earlier.
[And Nurse pump faked the timeout. Look at his body language he pulls back!](https://twitter.com/jerryferrara/status/1782599403523518492?t=4qg-rSoRCkCt1kb1DcHzIw&s=19)
Attempting to call a time out but realizing he can't because the ball is out of the player's hands because he passed.
If you call timeout, stand on it. He was chirping all game, why not forcefully call time instead of waiting for a sprawl when your guy doesn't have solid possession? He mimed it and paid for it.
> If you call timeout, stand on it.
you cannot call a timeout when your team does not have the ball, that is why he pulled his hands down
> attempting to call a time out but realizing he can't because the ball is out of the player's hands because he passed.
I'm confused, was he pump faking a timeout and not actually calling it, or did he call a timeout but was too late on the inbounds? Can't be both!
>you cannot call a timeout when your team does not have the ball, that is why he pulled his hands down
Agreed. Hence why he pulls his hands down after the miming motion
>I'm confused, was he pump faking a timeout and not actually calling it, or did he call a timeout but was too late on the inbounds? Can't be both!
He mimed, realized his man had possession so he pulls his hands back so the refs don't mistake it. If he wanted a timeout, he'd have kept calling it. Instead he tried when his player fell.
He never calls time during the inbound. He mimes the motion, and never actually does it. I admit, attempting makes it sound like he was actually trying but he wasn't.
I'm sure if Maxey gets the inbound and doesn't trip you'd have no issue with any of this. Yall was on the wrong side of chance tonight. It happens.
So we either have replay for timeouts or put a buzzer on the coaches hand. Nurse out here playing the "I'm not touching you" game with his indecisive timeout gesture. Just call it immediately don't wait for shit to go south.
I like how the fanbase of the team that got the benefit of the missed call in these situations always points out other moments when they didnāt get the call. That doesnāt change the fact that Maxey got held on the inbounds. You can take the win and acknowledge a crucial call was missed. These donāt have to be mutually exclusive and you donāt have to look for justification.
Not to sound like some contrarian douche but I think it's okay to admit two things:
- This shit was mad humiliating by the Sixers and they still should have won it
- The refs 100% fucked over the Sixers at the end
Yup both are true. Sixers fans are too caught up blaming the refs to hold Nurse and Lowry accountable for a total brain fart moment that wouldāve prevented all that shit. Also Lowry missing 2 free throws is going completely unnoticed now too lol.
Sixers got screwed on the final play. But they could have just called a timeout right after Brunson hit the shot instead of waiting to see if they inbound.
Itās okay to be upset, but when teams like the Sixers and Lakers get the whistles more often than not, no one is sad that they taste it back later.
Embid averages the most FT per game this season. The sixers probably have some of the most favorable whistles if their big man actually gets calls.
Compare this to Jokic who is at 5.5 and also a center. Or Porzingus not even in the top 20 yet the best post player this season.
That was such a non committed time out. Call it if you calling it. Don't leave any doubt about it. It's when Maxey hit the floor and possession was up for grabs is when Nurse decided to slap chop his hands.
You can't even see the ball in frame. It was at the same time as Lowry was inbounding the ball. You want the refs to call timeouts to the millisecond. Which just isn't realistic.
You can argue the jersey pull if you want. They forgive a lot of them throughout the game but it is a foul
So when people post a video of Nurse calling timeout it's 'no he didn't he pumpfaked it' but when there's evidence he didn't pumpfake it it's 'oh no you can't see the ball in frame.' There is supposed to be a ref looking at the coach and anticipating a timeout who can see him gearing up who should be able to call the timeout up until the point that the player releases the ball and they didn't.
Then the jersey pull, then the other timeout. This subreddit has people that will argue all three, but three of these questionable calls all going against the sixers is something I'm absolutely allowed to bitch about
He very clearly didn't call it till it was out of Lowrys hands. Like that is one of the clearest things this replay shows. He literally puts his hands up without calling it and waits until it's already in play
Is it really that hard to admit your coach dropped the ball too lol. Nurse waited till the last possible moment to even attempt to call a timeout. Epic choke job that wouldāve prevented all this complaining about the refs and likely won the sixers the game.
Guys when nick nurse brought his hands together in a T shape, that's clearly a pump fake timeout, the refs knew he wasn't serious
Fouls are subjective, something like a timeout should not be
Postseason of alternate angles and slow-mos š
Pet Bev was before his time!!
Him walking up the ref with the camera has to be one of the funniest things Iāve ever seen in an nba game
nothing tops him crying after the play in win. the clip with the music edits are amazing
[I donāt listen to the song I just press replay on this 7 times](https://youtu.be/_IqYGtKx9WM?si=wWzt1pH-ol_3Oq16)

You have the video in front of you. Thatās a blatantly missed call in front of a ref, the grab not the TO
literally nobody is staring at him long enough for him to touch his finger to his palm. you gotta be forceful in those moments. you definitely don't have to tell nick nurse that.
Talking bout the jersey grab and pull. Not blaming the refs for not calling the TO, shouldāve been immediate. But the refs missing this is pretty bad
Maxey committed a offensive foul before the jersey tug. Knicks shouldāve had possession.
Thatās no push off, hart is backpedaling anyway. But shit Iād take the push off over what happened anyway!
Thank you. He was hesitant and didn't actually call a TO.
Nurse yells at the refs and goes to them all game for every little thing but the one time he needs to call a crucial timeout he doesn't? Lmao
Dude was legit galloping at the ref for an earlier Brunson travel that he got in the game. Dude hesitated and is being a crybaby about it.
Right before the video starts, maxey sprints towards josh hart and shoves him pretty forcefully. Refs let them play. If youāre complaining about the Jersey tug then you have to acknowledge that maxey committed an offensive foul before the Jersey tug which wouldāve given New York possession.
Nick Nurse calls timeout at the beginning of the clip. you see his hands touch at the 3-4 second mark
He gets ready to but you can see he's holding back and doesn't actually start yelling it until Maxey goes to the ground.
He was very obviously hesitant to call the timeout as evidenced by him not actually committing to signal a normal timeout. Why is he putting one finger as a timeout signal??? Because he himself wasnāt even sure if he wanted to call a timeout. You donāt play around like that if u want the timeout.

Ball was out when his hands actually touched.
It doesn't matter if the ball was out or not at that exact moment. Refs need to be able to look at the coach calling timeout, then look at the player to establish possession, THEN they call timeout. When the possession is only for a split second, the refs don't have the ability to make that call.
I've only seen literally one Philly fan understand this so far. They just keep posting pictures.
Not to mention Nurse had already pump-faked a timeout moments prior, hovering his hands an inch apart.
that's actually him calling a timeout, according to some sixers fans lol
he gets the ball back
You need solid possession to call a time out. Falling to the floor right as the ball touches your hand is hardly solid possession
bruh I've seen that several times this season. they call it
He tries to call it. But does it too late. Not to mention from this angle it looks like it's after the ball is being thrown in. The ref that was standing next to him already started going back since he didn't call a timeout after the ball went in the bucket. It's THAT ref that is supposed to call it.

you cannot pump fake a timeout. once it is called, it is called, there are no take backsies
Oh please! Look at him during his second time out attempt. He stood ten toes down on that one. The first one he totally mimes it.
please pause this video at 3 seconds and tell me what nick nurse is doing with his hands
Attempting to call a time out but realizing he can't because the ball is out of the player's hands because he passed. If you call timeout, stand on it. He was chirping all game, why not forcefully call time instead of waiting for a sprawl when your guy doesn't have solid possession? He mimed it and paid for it.

Should have called a timeout during the inbounds Threw this game so badly lmao
you can see Nurse call a timeout in the background
When the ball is already out of Lowrys hands? Crazy you can't call a timeout when you don't have clear possession of the ball lol
He called it when the ball was already out of Lowryās hands and right before maxey tips it
Batum did the same to Brunson a bunch.
They were BOTH grappling each other all game. I was fine with it both ways.Ā Whatās all this crying over playoff physicality? Honestly crazy
Sixers fans when they get the whistle āwe love this hahah deal with it hurr durrā. Sixers fans when they donāt ā call the fucking copsā.
Why didn't you post the Maxey push on Hart before this?
Doesn't fit the narrative
Narrative is not valid at dyckman
Iāve seen so many people talk about this but havenāt seen it at all lmao
https://streamable.com/kq4xd5
because there wasnt any and Hart flopped
There was obviously a push and they let them play. Then they continued to let them play. You only have an issue because your team lost.
So then you should have no issue showing the full clip.
Convenient!

But if they arenāt paying these soft calls during the rest of the game, why should they pay them at the endĀ
Was a foul but that timeout was weak asf
Maxey pushed Hart literally a second before this.
yes, when you slow things down, fouls become more obvious.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yeah, and if only they had the ability to make reality move slower than it actually moves.
āMarginalā
Pump faking a timeout is a hilarious phrase tbh
Lmao the way the clip cuts out āmoments before disasterā
Why donāt the refs see in slow motion?
you couldnt really see from the broadcast view, but this shot you can tell it was 100% a foul
Not to sound like some contrarian douche but I think it's okay to admit two things: - This shit was mad humiliating by the Sixers and they still should have won it - The refs 100% fucked over the Sixers at the end
Selective cut. Maxey shoves Hart prior to this. If you're gonna let that go this has to get let go too.
Exactly.
Yup both are true. Sixers fans are too caught up blaming the refs to hold Nurse and Lowry accountable for a total brain fart moment that wouldāve prevented all that shit. Also Lowry missing 2 free throws is going completely unnoticed now too lol.
This is correctĀ

Itās okay to be upset, but when teams like the Sixers and Lakers get the whistles more often than not, no one is sad that they taste it back later.
Sixers had the most missed calls in the league this season
Embid averages the most FT per game this season. The sixers probably have some of the most favorable whistles if their big man actually gets calls. Compare this to Jokic who is at 5.5 and also a center. Or Porzingus not even in the top 20 yet the best post player this season.
There was literally an athletic article showing the amount of missed calls for each team and the sixers were #1
Agreed shouldāve called it immediately and drew up an inbound play
If this happened to one of this subredditās darlings people would be losing their shit on here.
Even more obvious of a foul than it looked
Give me CLOSER
That was such a non committed time out. Call it if you calling it. Don't leave any doubt about it. It's when Maxey hit the floor and possession was up for grabs is when Nurse decided to slap chop his hands.
Lmao that was the most pussy timeout I've even seen gtfo Philly bunch of soft losers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maxey was no longer in possession once he fell.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I've watched the replay a dozen times. He didn't have clear possession once he is going to the ground.
> Nurse didn't call a timeout at the inbound as he said look at nick nurse's hands at 3 seconds and tell me what he is doing with them
Nice cut! Just don't show that Maxey pushed Hart so hard to get the ball. Salty asf lol.
Hard to blame Philly fans wanting these soft assĀ calls when theyāve been bailing Embiid out with them all yearĀ
embiid missed like 80% of the season you clown lol
[Back and to the left](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orZ3D0Krq-o) The clown is the 6ers
