Dillon Brooks on officials: They're picking on me every night Dillon Brooks, playing on his 27th birthday, was unsure why he was called for a flagrant foul on the play by the officials. “They’re picking on me every night,” Brooks said. “Can’t play my game. Not letting me play physical enough. It’s every night, and I don’t appreciate it.” The Grizzlies lost their second consecutive game in a 112-110 decision to the Suns. Brooks had 10 points and five fouls. 3 days ago – via Memphis Commercial Appeal Referees, Top Rumors Top Rumors, Referees, Dillon Brooks, Memphis Grizzlies
Brooks later said he feels like he has a reputation. This is Brooks’ fourth consecutive season of averaging more than three personal fouls per game. He’s 10th in the NBA in fouls per game. If he had played enough games to qualify last season, he would have been top 10 in the NBA. He was second in the NBA in 2020 and 2021 in fouls per game. 3 days ago – via Memphis Commercial Appeal Referees, Uncategorized Referees, Dillon Brooks, Memphis Grizzlies

Green said he thought Daniels signaled for timeout before the five seconds were up. “I didn’t necessarily get an explanation,” Green said. “I was too busy yelling at the referees. We all talked about it in the timeout that we know we have one timeout. If you can’t get it in, use it. I saw Dyson turn to him and call timeout.” 4 days ago – via CHRISTIAN CLARK @ New Orleans Times-Picayune Billy Kennedy, Referees, Willie Green, Uncategorized Billy Kennedy, Referees, Willie Green, Dyson Daniels, New Orleans Pelicans
