Series Thread: 2023 Western Conference Finals: 1) Nuggets vs 7) Lakers (Bubble Rematch)

[msgkings322]

That's what I am thinking. Plus the League is having this go 7

Why doesn't 'the league' have every series go 7?

That's the NBA world we live in today. But Curry gets even less contact and gets calls... This is really why I don't watch the NBA... I just can't take all that nonsense

Curry actually gets less calls than any other superstar of his stature, but you don't see me bitching about it

 

[redseat]

It's just like the complaints by the Steve Kerr that the Lakers were flopping on the Warriors illegal screens. If the refs would just call the illegal screens in the first place, the flopping to draw more attention to them wouldn't be necessary.

But what should we expect when the officals don't even call a travel when a player takes 10 steps right in front of them. It's a fucking joke!

 

[trojanfan12]

Borderline at best. As the commentators also said, there is always a windup to a blocked shot. If basketball is going to be a contact sport (and it has been for decades), calling a flagrant on that play is disingenous.

That's why the problem is with the rule, not the refs. It makes it so that almost any blocked shot with contact can be called a flagrant.

 

[msgkings322]

He shouldn't have to. He should calls for the same contact as Steph Curry does. Being bigger shouldn't prevent you from getting those calls.

Steph doesn't get the superstar whistle though

Well now you will

Jokic been good but he need to wake up in the 4th. Role players tend to not he good on the road. 2 points in the 4th so far this series....wont cut it in LA

Pretty sure the Lakers win game 3 and 4 but we'll see

Its the playoffs. Minimal rest should be expected for all the top players.

They are human....

But you don't expect that from the players or refs....SMH.

 

[DJ]

Why doesn't 'the league' have every series go 7?

Interesting question.

More revenue.

No I mean, when these dopes say the league will 'make it go 7' meaning the refs will steer the games, my reply is why not every series if they can do that?

 

[Wamu]

Oh please... He cries every time he drives the lane

Yeah but he's not the only player that complains about calls.

Odd that so many people only have an issue with LeBron when many players do the same thing.

Wonder why that is?

There's been a mpg increase in the playoffs for top guys for probably nearly 40 years now....this is another stupid post from you

You know....LOL.

He is a frequent complainer. Fans hate frequent complainers. Luka and Draymond are similar

Trae Young is another name that comes to mind

And my response was if it was a conspiracy like they are saying....It would benefit the League because more revenue.

But, there is no conspiracy. Just tin foil hat time for some.

Yes DJ I know, I asked why NOT do every series, not why do it. I know why these dopes THINK the league extends series, for more money. So my reply is, why don't they do it EVERY SERIES? They are just leaving money on the table. We agree, they don't do it.

Never said he was the only player who does. In fact I said everyone does, including every Celtics player. ESPN is to blame imo jamming Lebron down our throats.

My issue is he states he doesn't flop, clearly does than bitches (as do everyone else) when opponents flop. Man up and say, "Yes I flop..." All I'm asking

Trae is on a whole different level of flopping, vintage Harden style.

 

[redseat]

LMAO

Jokic v Lebron... You think the league doesn't want this to go 7?
