I'm not sure what @DJ is even vindicated for.

The Lakers are a shit 3 point shooting team.

Being a taller midget than the year before equals vindication?

Bitching?
They just got fucked in 2 holes, and basically laughed it off.

Warriors blew a 19 pt lead, but refs made back to back terrible calls in a meaningful game.

That's all u can do but to laugh it off. That Durant play was an and 1.

Or a no call, but the shot has to count.

And, why did Wolves let Curry shoot the tying 3?
They could have grabbed him at least twice.

 

[Four4Four]

These touch fouls have to stop. You know, I love a good no call. A good body to body NBA contact with the refs just letting them play.

How did they get fucked?? Lmao.

Durant clearly was not shooting yet. And he clearly grab towns jersey and didn’t let go.

I dont care who won, to be clear, but they got screwed.

The only way a ref could/would blow a whistle that fast would be if they were anticipating the Wolves would foul.
Thats not their job.
Any other point of the game, its a continuation play.

And, if the refs are anticipating whats going to happen, then you never make that last call against Durant.
There was 0% chance they were scoring off that pass.

There is that type of jersey holding at some point of nearly every possession in the game, and for sure on every inbounds play.

The pendulum has swung too far the other way, imo. Wouldn't want to go back to the way the game was played in the 90's (although that was fun), but these days, it seems like if a defender looks at a player for too long he gets called for a foul.

The Lakers picked a fine time to start balling again.

KCP playing for is next contract the last 2 of 3 games as he has gone off. And he's averaging 18ppg his last 10 games.

I'm one of the few that actually likes KCP. But he drives me nucking futs. lol

He plays good defense and obviously, he can score.

The problem is, he is too inconsistent and streaky with his scoring. He'll have stretches offensively where it looks like he couldn't start for a bad high school JV team...

Then he has stretches like this where you can make a case for him being an all star caliber player.

There doesn't even seem to be anything that one can put their finger on as to the the reason either. It just seems to come and go with no real rhyme or reason.

Clippers are going to the playoffs.

But, it will be a short stay.

No 1st rounder.

So, I'm rummaging the bargain bin for end of the 2nd round steals.

@tlance , @WiggyRuss, @CitySushi ....

Do you guys see Taco Fall...falling....to the mid/end of the 2nd round?

I'd take a flyer on him there.

My dream picks....

1. Caleb Martin Nevada

2. Taco Fall UCF

3. Carsen Edwards Purdue

4. Jalen Mcdaniels SDSU

I am super curious about Brian Bowen and Darius Bazely.

Did Klutch Shit the bed having Bazely sit out and work a
" internship" or are they trying to steer him to their destination of choice?
