who would you rather have first round? Knicks or Heat?

I think its an interesting question. I think the Heat have the experience and toughness, but the Knicks have more overall talent.

good to see Okoro and LeVert doing some good things lately.

Both are tough matchups but I would rather face NY.

Playoff Butler is a real thing. Bam and Butler are elite defenders. Miami is playing better basketball right now. They have more playoff experience too.

I already did. I posted the tweet this morning of one of the egregious bull shit calls.

The one that was clearly a blocking foul? Accurate call, if not always made.

 

[shopson67]

And Austin Reaves

because he is a star.......?

Bwhahaha! That’s a play on. Reaves initiates the contact with his shoulder. Not a block. Not enough to be a charge. And definitely not a call for anyone but a star. Dude is a foul merchant.

 

[shopson67]

Austin Reaves just flew from LA to PA just to jump into me. I was whistled for a foul while I was in line at Dunkin buying coffee.

James applauds Reaves' effort...

Harden doesn’t even get these calls anymore. Maybe it would be different if he wore purple and gold.

I don’t really follow ND hoops. I went to St Joes in Philly so college basketball for me is a black hole of wasted opportunity and mismanagement not cashing in on this kind of publicity.

LOL, but Embiid's 12 attempts per game are completely legit.

The star treatment may happen, but is complete crap of course.

While I agree that it should have been a play on, if a call was to be made, it was blocking.

1 call, especially one that isn't exactly egregious, doesn't support your argument nearly as much as you want to claim.

Yep. He’s unguardable without fouling. That’s 6 shooting fouls. For his usage rate, where he catches the ball, a league bereft of real 7 footers that can handle him all result in foul shots.

But let’s just take a step back and appreciate what has just happened. We are talking about an undrafted rookie getting star calls and you just invoked a comparison with an All NBA caliber player.

Especially with Lakers fans who refuse to see it. When this continues and someone posts a video of all this nonsense I’ll be sure to bring it here for you guys to spin.

lol

As opposed to a fan of another team who is looking at things completely objectively and whose "proof" rests on a borderline call.

What other team would this apply to though where a guy who is just a guy is getting star calls?

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’ll just leave this here.

UCLA had no issue letting go of their lead last night did they?

And that has what to do with this conversation?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Gotta love when somebody throws out something that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the convo....

Since you want to play this game....

When was the last time St Joe's win anything?

LOL.
