How is that a foul on Al? He barely did anything.
Saw these tweets today from a Bucks beat writer that about made me spit out my drink. How oblivious and a homer does one have to be to complain about forearms when you have the king of forearm offensive fouls on your team with Giannis?! lolhttps://twitter.com/IKE_Bucks/status/1123235357976350721QuoteThe biggest key tonight will be the Celtics’ use of forearms. Give a lot of credit to Brad Stevens, it’s a subtle way to neutralize a team’s ability to get to and score in the paint. It is, however, contact, and therefore should be considered a foul. Will the refs call it?QuoteIt’s up to Coach Bud and the Bucks’ players to bring attention to the forearms. Credit them for trying to play through it, but it’s [dang] near impossible to infiltrate the paint with a Celtics’ forearm in Giannis’ chest every play. Imagine if the Celts tried this on the Rockets...QuoteIf the Celtics used the same forearm tactic on Houston or Golden State, it’d last a max of 1 quarter before the Rockets/Warriors players start exaggerating the contact and Kerr and D’Antonio are all on the refs about it, in turn forcing the Celtics to adjust back to clean ball

And here come the officials to save the day for the Bucks What a weak call. Refs should be fined every time they fall for an Ilyasova flop like that.
