KAT personally trying to take out Lively…ouch

Oh come on

 

[Instinctive]

That was the Tatum wave T

Exactly the same good call.

Idiotic call in both circumstances. Where are all these people who want to see robots play basketball and not people with emotions and competitiveness?

(understanding thats the current standard, just saying its a bad standard)

And the Tatum one was clearly a terrible call. This one, I only saw one quick replay, but also looked like an incorrect call

KAT personally trying to take out Lively…ouch

That wasn’t on purpose in the least.

But Luca out there laughing and yucking it up while his teammate Lively on the floor for minutes with a head injury was a bad look.

 

[SayWhat?]

These refs suck.

 

[SayWhat?]

Ant time.

 

[mr. furley]

holy moly, you guys

 

[The Gator]

That dunk

 

[identikit]

That dunk

Exciting, but still worth just two points

Glad he's scoring beyond that....

Ok, wet blanket

 

[Zow]

Dallas is too good. Congrats and good luck vs. Boston. I'll be rooting for you guys.

No.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Who has ever had a better first step than Kyrie?

Iverson and maybe Rod Strickland? Those are the two names that come to mind. I am sure there are others but that list is not long.

 

[identikit]

It was a foul, Luka

 

[Long Ball Larry]

What happened to lively? Only seen the second half

 

[Long Ball Larry]

So what kind of knee injury does Luka have that bleeds through during games?

Stigmata

 

[Desert_Power]

Big shot by Kyrie

 

[identikit]

Stigmata

Inadvertent Towns knee to the head

 

[ShamrockPride]

Kyrie the Closer strikes again

 

[Desert_Power]

Gobert gives him a nice forearm shiver and he still gets it

 

[Major]

Wow, this last two minutes from Dallas is a helluva statement. Crazy that they're probably going to sweep in the WCF.

 

[ShamrockPride]

I really hate the fact I'm going to have to root against Luka for my guys in Boston.

 

[Major]

What happened to lively? Only seen the second half

Concussed. Kneed in the back of the head by Towns

 

[the moops]

GAFFORD! That was some 2 possessions there. Dang

 

[Desert_Power]

You could hear a pin drop on that free throw.

 

[the moops]

Iverson and maybe Rod Strickland? Those are the two names that come to mind. I am sure there are others but that list is not long.

When he needs to score, I am unsure if there are like 5 guys in the history of the league that I would take over him

 

[scoobus]

KAT

 

[Major]

KAT

I hate his game. Dude is softer than wet cake.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Luka awesome in the clutch again, and Kyrie with a big shot late as well. Start the bus...

Nobody wants to see robots. Fans want to see competitiveness, but without the hysterics toward the officials.

Luka's A LOT. Too much on many nights, tonight included. Hopefully the NBA finds a way to get the constant official antics out of the game as much as possible. The sooner, the better.

 

[scoobus]

Not helping his "greatest big man shooter of all time" legacy.

 

[msudaisy26]

I hate to say it, but experience reigns in the NBA. Luka and Kyrie, both been to the conference finals or further. The core of the T Wolves haven't and it shows.

 

[Zow]

Little Woz is just jumping on the trampoline staring out into the night…

The call we are talking about was on Slo mo. If what he did is the standard Luka would have approximately 18 techicals a game

I didn’t think I could hate anyone more than Jamal Murray. I think Luka has taken the crown. What a whiny piece of….

Gonna be a rough next 10 years for you then watching basketball since Doncic is only 25 and will likely spend the next decade consistently being one of the top 3 players in the league.

Not disputing that, he ripped our hearts out. Just kind of an exhausting flopping whiner

That may be true (I have no opinion thought out on it) but I was specifically referencing the wave off that can only be interpreted as "whatever man" and not further complaining to officials. Which Kyle Anderson got a T for.

 

[Capella]

They’re just taking turns humiliating Gobert now.

exhausting, maybe

whiner, definitely

flopping - I think he gets hit with no call way more than he flops for one that didnt happen. There was one in the final two minutes where you can see McDaniels hand hit his face and then chest and then no ca;l, again.

 

[thecatch]

I really hate the fact I'm going to have to root against Luka for my guys in Boston.

I also loathe the fact that I’m going to have to root for Boston but apparently for different reasons.

 

[Frostillicus]

They’re just taking turns humiliating Gobert now.

This sentiment is so weird to me. Gobert is a great defender in the paint. No, he can't guard two of the best shot creating guards 28 feet from the basket.

I hated watching Harden the last ten years just fine so I will have no problem hating Luka for the next ten.

 

[Capella]

KAT

50M next year

Giant dunk right above his head

Oh. Well that's different. nm. I should have given you more credit. Even though you're still stupid.

Problem there is Harden was pretty overrated. Luka is top 5 player material and that more often then not is gonna get a title or two.

 

[Capella]

Kyrie going back to Boston to try and win a title is gonna be crazy. Hope we get a great series these playoffs have sucked aside from a few series.

 

[Frostillicus]

KAT played great against Denver. Can we give this group, who had never won a playoff sereis together before winning two this year including one against the defending champs, one more year before we kick dirt all over them? Or is that not possible these days?

Sir, do you know what thread you're in?

At this particular time of year, no less.
