I’m obviously rooting for Hawks but I hate the Trae Young lag and foul bait.

lol yeah that was nasty

I mean...they cut the lead in half this quarter, so that's hard to say at this point.

And there’s the answer. Double digits now. They need to keep Hawks off the offensive glass.

alot of these things can be removed if you just require the offensive player to also maintain their verticality while getting their shot off.

Imagine telling that to Michael Jordan.

Damn. Assassins. Defense rebounding and clutch shot making. That’s how you close

Celtics too much for Hawks. 129-121. Quickness and 40% 3-pointers. Will be a challenge for the Sixers.

Hefty fine. No suspension imo

Clippers, Warriors biggest foes aren’t on court, it’s the new CBA: Hollinger

The Athletic recently reviewed a copy of the term sheet of the new CBA and roster-building rules could mean trouble for big-spending teams.

Boston gonna need to trade grant (s&t) these rules are draconian

The NBA we're currently in... I wouldn't be surprised if Dejounte Murray is suspended a game.

Mostly because that seemed pretty intentional.

Atlanta's not winning this series either way, though... so no big deal.

NBD. It might look like but this isn’t contact with an official.

Two totally different scenarios.

Players and refs make contact all the time when refs step in to stop a potential fight (in this case, after a flagrant foul on Tatum).

Well deserved suspension. Shoulda fined his ass too.

As much as you hate the decisions a ref makes, you keep your fucking hands off them.
