2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (2 Viewers)

I don’t see how that’s a foul

The announcer said it perfectly, wrong place at the wrong time.

Dude dove for a ball. Other guy grabbed it and jumped over him, while taking a shot. That’s not a foul.

Straight from the NBA rulebook:

Defenders must give airborne shooters the opportunity to land safely. Whether intentional or not, this is a dangerous play and it will be penalized.

No different than game one when Murray was running with Butler and their feet got tangled. Not intentional, just wrong place at the wrong time. Those are the rules.

 

[msudaisy26]

Gotta give the Heat credit. Up 11 to down like 12 in like 8 minutes. Most teams fall apart there.

Shooter must have a place to land. Defender was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[Stoneworker]

That was undoubtedly Joker's worst half of the playoffs (-8). Both good news and bad news for Denver.

 

[Jayrod]

I don’t see how that’s a foul

No legal guarding position, so any contact on a shooter is a foul.

Bad luck, but guys get fouls trying to scramble for a loose ball every game...just usually doesn't happen on a 3.

 

[SWC]

Huge minutes from Brown (+19), Braun (+17) and Green (+19).

Do they have a nickname?

The color guard? The flying colors?

a lot of my poop is brown and green so we can call them the honey wagon express take that to the septic tank bank brohans

 

[Todem]

We are hanging around…..

 

[Stoneworker]

MPJ just is lost in this game

 

[Jayrod]

We are hanging around…..

Shooting insane from 3.

 

[Desert_Power]

Jokic is shooting 47% from 3 in the playoffs? Insane

 

[Todem]

Phantom foul…..lord.

 

[John123]

Phantom foul…..lord.

What about the no call on Butler?

 

[msudaisy26]

Phantom foul…..lord.

Ball was off Bam so....

 

[NutterButter]

Jokic not pleased with the officiating this quarter

 

[msudaisy26]

Jokic not pleased with the officiating this quarter

That is 3 plays where he thought it should be Nuggets ball and they all went the Heats way. Two of them for sure went off Heat players. I am not sure about the other one.

 

[ChiefD]

Miami has no chance in this series unless the NBA just wants it to go 6-7 games. Denver is miles better.

I trust you both, especially referee Jayrod

 

[msudaisy26]

Jokic flopped on that play, but I like it when notorious floppers get the call against them. Sorry Kyle.

 

[SWC]

jokic should stick with basketball he is pretty good at this game take that to the bank brohans

 

[Jayrod]

Jokic just went crazy there for a bit in the 3rd.

I think he is personally offended they are letting Zeller guard him 1 on 1.

 

[ChiefD]

jokic should stick with basketball he is pretty good at this game take that to the bank brohans

i’d like to see him sit in a 14 foot boat on the wisconsin river all day drinking spuds and try to set the hook on a sucker rig after being two sheets to the wind and try and reel in a muskie without falling out the boat on a hot sunny august day and you can try and reel that to the bank but the river bank is closed brochachachito….

 

[Jayrod]

I'm still baffled at Duncan Robinson just killing it this playoffs.

There was a point this season where he was out of the rotation.

 

[Todem]

Miami has no chance in this series unless the NBA just wants it to go 6-7 games. Denver is miles better.

Yet….2 point game in the 4th.

They really had no business beating Boston either. Pure grit and great coaching.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Only 3 assists so far for Jokic, which bodes well for Miami. Denver won over 90% of their games this year when he had 10+ assists, but they were under .500 when he had single digit assists.

 

[identikit]

Lex Luther in the stands

 

[Jayrod]

Denver defense falling apart.

Making Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson look like superstars.

 

[identikit]

I think that last basket was from an undrafted player

 

[msudaisy26]

This game seems destined for OT.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Jokic flopped on that play, but I like it when notorious floppers get the call against them. Sorry Kyle.

Both guys flop a ton. That was a terrible call.

(And yes - watching on DVR and a little behind the live action)

 

[ChiefD]

Now I remember why the NBA is terrible.

 

[NutterButter]

Back to back incredible acting jobs from vincent

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Boston hasn't won one since I became a fan.

It's been a rough 8 years, but somehow I soldier on.

I was going to make a joke that for me the modern era started in 1987 to point out the Celtics only have one championship in that time frame.

In my self-centered reality, though, I started really watching the NBA in 1978 - so the Lakers are up 11-4 over Celtics in my modern era.

Magic and Bird entering the league is a good benchmark for the modern era.

 

[Todem]

Heat smell some blood in the water here.

 

[NutterButter]

What the hell is pope doing?

 

[Todem]

Lots and lots of blood they smell!!!!

Nah. That foul on the screen was obvious. KCP ran into him. Easy call.

 

[msudaisy26]

All the Nuggets except Jokic are having a bad night.

 

[identikit]

Bam!

 

[NutterButter]

Now I remember why the NBA is terrible.

Are u not entertained?

 

[msudaisy26]

That looked like a goaltend.

 

[Todem]

All the Nuggets except Jokic are having a bad night.

Heat playing excellent defense tonight….that may have a little something to do with it.

 

[Jayrod]

Pretty bad missed GT call there.

Yeah foul, but he acted like he got hit by Shaq.

 

[Ghost Rider]

The Heat are outplaying them, but every close call is going their way. NBA wants a long series. We have seen this movie too many times.

 

[NutterButter]

I think the nuggets are on the take as well. Let's take this conspiracy theory to the next level.

 

[msudaisy26]

This is fun.

What does the Miami defense have to do with KCP and Porter playing like idiots on defense?

 

[Todem]

Heat win…..Heat win!!!!!!

That is definitely the case
