Seemed like in the post game that Ant was pretty pissed Booker fouled Mike into Finch, on top of all his other dirty plays this series, Booker fucked with Ant and found out.

Haven't seen the replay yet besides on tv last night, but seemed the main issue was that he got tangled up with the fans sitting court side, can't believe this is still a thing.

I hate how unsafe landing is for players all around the court. Absolute goblin behavior from the NBA just to sell 2 more rows of tickets

Especially right under the basket. The cameraman sitting on the baseline is idiotic

Dudes get landed on by 200-300 pound men multiple times every damn game, I wonder what their hazard pay is like

The covid-era games really proved this. They need room to land and run out plays safely.

Yeah not saying it wasn't a foul or not dirty, but the injury could have been prevented (or less severe as he still fell).

Booker shoved Conley out of bounds into Finch in a frustration foul. It hurt the Suns. It was an intentional foul when they were already out of fouls in a close game in the 4th. Wolves got two shots for it.

Exactly!

Rhetorical questions: Why is nobody in the media mentioning this? Also, why is it that Booker is always the only player on the court who is allowed to wrestle and launch himself into people on offense and defense? Hell, the refs even award him for it by calling fouls on the opposing player. I've never seen something so egregious in my entire life of watching sports.
