NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

Refs brutal on Boston so far in the 3rd

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Ugly end to this quarter

 

[Alsacs]

When the Celtics don’t play iso and jack up 3’s they exploit Robinson/Herro/Dragic on defense.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I wasn't watching, but if the situation was that Murray got fouled and it wasn't called, that isn't something that you can challenge. You can only challenge that a called foul was not a foul, not that an uncalled foul was a foul.

Referring to the foul call on Millsap for boxing out “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” king Anthony Davis

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Seeing Stevens being clueless about how to attack the Heat’s zone has me fuming about 2010 all over again.

HEY BRAD, RUN THE PLAY WHERE SOME SCRUB SHOOTS A CORNER 3 AT THE SHOTCLOCK BUZZER AND IT HITS THE RIM AND THEN THE TOP OF THE BACKBOARD AND BOUNCES AROUND A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE IT GOES IN!

TJ Sorrentine would be a perfect Celtic 12th man

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Jimmy Butler looked like he wanted no part of playing .. Celtics looked like the better team .. Miami may pay for that third quarter performance the rest of the series .. you can’t give up 40 plus points in 1 quartet in a potential series clinching game up 7

Amazing what happens when you actually fight for rebounds.

Also, Dragic is a clown.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Tatum scored 28 points in the second half.
He gave them enough points.
In the first half he had 0 points but had 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
He does more than scoring.
Plus he shut down Pascal Siakam last series and notice how Jimmy Butler has done very little this series.
Tatum is 22 and going to be an all defensive team player with how all around he is.

The things he has done poorly this series is shoot it poorly but he is a good shooter and turned the ball over too many times.

Tatum is 22 years old and already made the all-NBA team you can say you don’t see it but he is a franchise player.

The game I saw, his turnovers cost them the game. Period. Not turnover, but multiple turnovers.
I think the Celtics would be better off with another Jaylen Brown, than with Tatum. Again, limited sample size for me.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

True fact!

[CuseFaninVT]

Reggie’s right. If you are going to foul, FOUL!

 

[ssbriefcase]

Porter is waay soft on d

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Porter is waay soft on d

Was just going to post the same thing. He needs to pretend like he cares about defense if he ever wants to be a first unit player.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Also Chris just called the nuggets, Portland.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Finally, I actually don’t like caruso. He gets away with a ton of fouls. That ’strip’ he had on Murray was a foul. The wrist is not part of the ball.

But standing in for that charge on Jokic was excellent defense.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Missed goaltend, 4 point swing to LA

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Where was that foul?

 

[ssbriefcase]

Nuggs are playing dumb bball this half.

They’re actually lucky they aren’t down more.

 

[OrangeDW]

Lakers going to the hole relentlessly. Good strategy.

 

[cuseattle]

Lakers going to the hole relentlessly. Good strategy.

And making the Joker pick up fouls at Sidibe's clip.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Where was that foul?

(Shoot me for posting about calls & refs when I should be burning a tree at the break.)

Are you referring to the shot LeBron took to the head early on a layup & no foul was called? Grant hit LeBron harder than Ali hit Liston for a KO in Lewiston, Maine.

No.

excellent hyperbole though

Ha. Who doesn’t like Caruso? Averaged 8 ppg in college and is somehow a key rotational player for the damn Lakers.
