Exhibit 02Negative.no flair
Naz reid elbow, put a hit out on mccain, told carter bryant he is proud of him after he shoulder charged into shai twice, shoved cason wallace to the floor for no reason, puts alvarado in a headlock and swings him out the way his approaching draymond levels very quickly
Post · Officiating this game was wild, but this no-call on Wemby blew my mind.▲ 27Jun 6, 2026Source ↗
Exhibit 03Negative.MIN flair
Naz is closer to dumb than smart on a basketball court.
