This isn’t foul baiting, but it’s closer to an offensive foul than a defensive one.
Tucker does take a step, but Giannis is also the one creating all the contact. Giannis is intentionally barreling into Tucker, as he does on a lot of drives.
It should be a no-call. Another call liked this happened this game, but it got overturned after a review. The other one should have probably been an offensive foul.
When it comes to Giannis people just want to boil it down to “he’s trucking him” which is sometimes true.
He was spinning, if Pj hadn’t taken another step and fell it likely would’ve been an offensive foul as that’s what a lot of people do when he drives, but he does take a step to try and get a charge and is still moving his feet. That’s the definition of a defensive foul.
Of course a Celtics fan is saying it’s offensive you guys have been complaining about as bad as sixers fans since last night.
