Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors vs. 8) Los Angeles Clippers

[tlance]

If I said I want the rule changed then I didn't say it right (but I don't know my original comment nor care). I am saying I wish they would not call fouls when it's clear the guy with the ball initiates the contact. This does not mean he gets the guy in the air coming at him and he stays there so that guy lands on him. I'm talking he gets the guy in the air, then leans or moves under where he is going to land.

Ok.

I agree with that.

But what you are saying is that you don't want officials to make mistakes. Which I think everyone can agree with. The play you are describing is clearly a bad call under current NBA rule and rule interpretation.

But like Sushi said, pretty often in those moments, the defender brings their arms down to prevent the shot attempt. It is a pretty basic human reflex. That is a foul under NBA rules. Have to stay vertical.

I'm one of those guys who thinks there's no reason to piss off the best player on the court.

"Hey, Lebron, you think you could play a little bit better? We're down 3-1 here."
"It's the NBA final's you think I'm not giving it everything I got?"
"Did you hear Klay just talk shit about you?"
"Ok, it's on now. Let's actually try to win now."

An 8 year old though?

Have to say I had to reread to see what the hell you were talking about. I said could have stopped reading after the bold. Didn't say to ignore what was not bolded before the bold.

But I laughed.

 

[LAD]

was gonna say "chill as fuck" was not how I would describe him.

You're crazy. He is one of the most laid back athletes we've seen in quite some time. lol

sure gets pissed off a lot for someone so laid back.

Klay is one of the rare athletes who actually speaks his mind instead of speaking in cliches.

Would you prefer his sound bites be filled with fluff?

already said what I preferred. I'd prefer if he not act like defenses can't lock him or the Warriors down and insist that they just had an off night. He's a jerk in that sense. Yeah he might be laid back but personally, I like athletes that show sportsmanship.

 

[msgkings322]

nope

Before that?

 

[msgkings322]

sure gets pissed off a lot for someone so laid back.

That's your thing though, ascribing much greater anger and passion where it doesn't apply. Like when you call most of us Yosemite Sam. Klay doesn't get pissed off, but he does say what is on his mind. It's refreshing

 

[Nightcrawler]

What the fuck do they see in Klay?

I guess they just love the Warriors lol

He probably has a big cock. Word gets around.

Who doesn't get pissed off? It's how a person handles/channels that anger is what makes us different. Klay is very chill in how he manages his anger & has figured out how to channel it in such a way that it never jeopardizes him or his team mates - unlike Draymond and/or KD.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Well I'm sure him being handsome is a +. Majority of athletes don't exactly look like him so when you add that to him being successful & rich there's no wonder.

He doesn’t strike me as a handsome guy, then again..... I don’t judge men.

This is a bunch of nit picking here....SMH

I can guarantee you that a lot of women think he's handsome.

just because I don't like a Warrior it's nitpicking? Lol. I've stated why I don't like him. He's a jerk who's unsportsmanlike. I'm a Spurs fan. Sorry I've gotten used to watching classy players.

Timmy spoiled us

Facts.

 

[msgkings322]

Elaine Benes: "Hey George, you saw the guy, was he good looking?"
George Costanza (looking uncomfortable): "Um, well, I don't really know..."
Elaine: "You know, noticing if a guy is attractive doesn't make you gay"
George: "It doesn't help!"

Klay for sure has that BDE.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Klay for sure has that BDE.

I had to look up BDE. You west coast people and your slangs.

I didn’t know what “fire” and “THOT” was until a few weeks ago. I’m in my early 30’s tho.

Wait a minute here - Some one is trying to say Klay Thompson gets pissed off easily?
