Magic are somewhat feisty the last couple of months. Depends on how much Utah is gonna embrace the tank

At this point both teams should be embracing the tank.

I don't expect to see much defense being played!

Sadly both unlikely

Warriors suck on the road and Orlando has been playing much better of late

Still see it being 0-2 in the Lakers' favor today.

But I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I used to tackle guys in flag football in gym class, lol.

When I was a kid, one of my friends played soccer, but his team needed another player. He asked me to play and brought me to their first game. I had no idea how to play and hadn't even had a practice. The coach had me play goalie with the instruction to "stop the ball".

I was used to playing football, so some kid from the other team gets past everyone and is headed towards me...I came out of the goalie box and hit that kid with a beautiful form tackle. Kid starts crtying, ref was wanting tokick me out...so the coach explained the situation to the ref who decided to let me finish the game.

Finished the season and ended upwinning Most Improved Player...and never played soccer again. lol

Well when your first play breaks all the rules I guess you absolutely improved lol

Hard to trust anyone on twitter without the green check, shit even with the green check. Who the hell is Freeman Williams?

Also Lester Freeman is a Baltimore cop who angered the bosses.

I could see the Magic winning. They are a tough match up with all their size.

Tough to project good things for the Grizz - Ja, but the Warriors on the road are almost an equally bad bet?

 

[shopson67]

Kinda sad. Sports is being automated. I always enjoyed the "human" aspects to refereeing and decisions being made.

The human aspect sounds great until you're on the wrong side of it. Screaming at the TV over obvious bad calls, ball/strike calls, etc gets old quickly.

What is the ranking for points created? Scoring plus results of assists?

Somebody will always be on the wrong side of it. But also on the right side.

Having technology like Hawkeye would be great if the plays are reviewable which half of the time they are not. So that issue needs to be fixed too.

Not sure.

Yep. I set that bar low. lol

He played Duck in White Men Can't Jump

Shouldn't need replay if Hawkeye is used. Would need to be proven out first of course.

 

[shopson67]

Not sure.

Could generate it for 2 pt assists, but the real number would be higher (assuming a % of made 3 pt assists).

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that couldn't see that chart well, lol.
