2020 NBA Bubble Playoffs and Finals thread

[LNS]

Just stopping in to check on my basketball thread...

You know how it is here, Max. Once we AG’ers sense weakness....

[AbeVigodaLive]

Actually LNS...

In this case... we simply sensed a goddamn psycho.

Thank god I can’t read any of this psychos’ posts anymore. I warned you guys, he brings nothing to the board either as a troll, sports fan, antagonist...nothing. He embodies the word “suck” in every imaginable way, it became too inbearable for me to read. Please follow me in ignoring this guy. Oh and did I mention he’s a real life psycho stalker too, this guy found out where I lived somehow.

Houseboy, putting a poster on mute shows weakness and intolerance. Unless you are muting camel fucker.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day House had a complete meltdown.

He's a confirmed weakling. All because he's ashamed of living in Chinatown.

Big time shot from Lowry there. Then Tatum with a 3. Two freebies and the Raptors force game 7. Lowry with 33, 8 and 6.

Miami resting licking their chops.

Kawhi who?

The Raptors taking the best team in the EC to 7 games with a chance to win the series.

That was entertaining.
I can’t help but feel that the league was cooking for the Raptors a bit, cause game 7s are good for business. A FT lean towards them too.
No matter. Heck of a game.

I didn’t catch this til the end, but it was obvious at the end of regulation they were either rigging, or consistently incompetent. I didn’t see the Gasol push at the end well enough to tell, but i do know Marc had two palms on Smart’s back. EOR was clearly a hose job by the refs in TOR’s favor, but then again why’d the refs let Toronto even blow that 6 pt lead under 2 mins?

Kyle Lowry is a badass. Remember when he used to get ripped for his playoff resume? Badass.

If only he flopped less... I'd really enjoy watching him play.



[Note: Nick Nurse may be a genius, but he's become insufferable on the sidelines. A LOT of whining. That play when he stood on the court and Tatum threw him the ball was a bit dodgy. Maybe Bush would like to chime in here about throwing to a guy in your peripheral vision.]

By the way... It's a make or miss league... with officiating, too.

Officials call Giannis for a foul touching Butler's midsection on a 21 foot jump shot after it's left his hand... Bucks lose the game and the series and the world falls down around the franchise.

Meanwhile, Kemba Walker gets tackled after releasing the ball near the rim with 2 seconds left... no call. Every championship team needs breaks like those to go their way.

But I think it's beyond just close questionable calls. It shows how the league is officiated today. Stay away from the hoop is basically the message being sent when jump shooters get the benefit of calls vs. aggressive players driving to the hole.

I made a somewhat similar comment in a different thread. I was talking about DWade and how he was officiated in 2006. It's MILES AND MILES from that overall now.

Well.... the call on Dragic was just as bad the play before sooooo......

That's true. And that lends itself to my comment about how the league is officiated today. I'm definitely not a "bring back the handcheck" type of guy.

I just find it interesting how the way the league is officiated is forcing guys to the perimeter, whether it's the big men or little guys debating whether to drive and get killed or shoot a jumper, flop and get free throws.

Celts-Raps was insane, but costly errors & Kemba sucking balls were the deciding factors. Needless to say I'll be drunk watching tomorrow, Stars stylllee

Talen Horton-Tucker in the game. Great job, Vogel. Put in an unproven rookie who has hardly played all season. Keep up the good work, this is why Grizzfan loves you.
