Series Thread: 3) Philadelphia Sixers vs 6) Brooklyn Nets

[Taddy Mason]

Kurucs showing a bit of a dirty streak in this series.

Monroe is a complete moron for going on the court.

in fairness, he already was on the court.

 

[jontaejones]

Good show Nets.

That was a good year.

Oh. The announcers said he went onto the court.

coaches shut that down.

Tough call for me. I could see a strong argument for the NFL.

Toughest calls in each sport are these IMO......The block/charge is a very tough call to make but you have 3 guys who are close enough to see it (still tough, I know). How about a sideline throw in the NFL? Usually only one guy as close as the 3 who can see the block/charge in the NBA game. Have to see if he has possession, retains possession, feet in bounds, was he interfered (or did he interfere, I guess).

Guessing we both know baseball not even in the same ballpark (pardon the pun).

No sport is easy to ref.

Basketball is the only sport I have ever tried to ref.

But, I do have a few friends who ref both football and basketball at the high school level. One does college basketball and high school football.

They unanimously say that basketball is harder.

Main reason being that in football specific officials have specific things they are looking for. There are bang bang plays that are impossible to get right like in any other sport, but in football refs are able to compartmentalize a little bit.

Can't really do that in basketball.

Jimmy butler- 7th on the team in points scored--- Sixers win

only loss- the one where Butler tried to win it himself.

I gotta say- hit the nail right on the head.

So the Eastern conference 1st round only had 2 wins by the underdog teams in total? Ouch.

Predicted James Ennis and Jonathon Simmons would score more points, did ya?

32 points is still way too much.

If they knew how to play defense they may only be down 10 or so

They are not good on D, but come on. Even good defensive teams give up 32 in a quarter. But rare even bad offensive teams score 6 at that point this comment was made.

Wiggy obsession with Butler is the weirdest thing on SportsHoopla

Also good points. Counter for me is even if looking so many bodies around the play in the NFL. And I think the idea a hold can be called on every play is probably true. How to discern which to call....never mind they cannot see most.

BBall definitely tough as well, and don't disagree could be the toughest.

I do think, especially with replay - other than balls and strikes - baseball is pretty easy.

hes an overrated asshole that is going to be on his 4th team in 5 years and is more trouble than what he is going to get paid.

Butler D had nothing to do with Brooklyn not scoring while he was in?

Forgot you rented Doc Brown's Delorean.

Yeah we get that you don't like him. But you are starting to reach Dorian levels of annoying with your obsession over him.

No one cares about how many points Jimmy Butler scored in a game that was over in the 2nd quarter. It is an entirely irrelevant point.

do you think my analysis is wrong?

LOL.

IMO, his time in Philly will be defined in this next series. If the Sixers win against the Raptors, I think the Sixers will resign him. If they don't, then he walks off.

 

[flyerhawk]

do you think my analysis is wrong?

I think your analysis is misguided.

Butler is a two-way player who is asked to serve a lot of roles for the Sixers. Volume shooting isn't one of them. And yet you ignore all the other things he does and focus on his lack of volume shooting.
