2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: Message board poster furiously types out one more horrible post before thread closes (3 Viewers)

Luka whines at every call, coach in training. It doesn't matter the play, whether he is involved or not.

Turnovers killing Mavs

 

[Frostillicus]

That was some inconsistent officiating.

 

[Moe.]

Honestly - I think the refs are doing just fine

The charge/block, both on Luka? They both seemed really obvious to me, I think they got them right

 

[Instinctive]

Aside from the quick T and not giving the lesser flagrant to Dort, they've been really consistent with a pretty tight whistle.

Dallas just letting it happen to them, not getting in the paint at all.

 

[identikit]

Work cut out for the home team in the 2nd half

 

[msudaisy26]

Are we seeing Kyrie fall off the cliff? Or in his case the edge of the planet.

 

[mr. furley]

Gordon Hayward??

 

[msudaisy26]

Dort off the floor and Thunder go on a huge run. He has 9 shots in the first half.

Just need to do what they did in the regular season and finish it. A nice 30-0 run.

 

[Capella]

If I were Dallas I would simply stop giving up 2 dozen wide open 3s.

 

[Major]

I leave for 5 minutes and OKC is now up 16? Wow. What a way to end the half.

Yes. Obviously I disagree.

I am kinda with you on Dort tonight, I thought the leg kick that they originally called as a foul on Luka was really lame and the first time he got tangled with Lively was actually worse than the nut shot. He’s been too close to the dirty line tonight for me

Yes. Obviously I disagree.

there were a bunch of close whistles bunched together at that point, was just making sure.

 

[Instinctive]

Interesting halftime observation: Chet was out four minutes before anyone else just shooting two FTs, then top of the key threes.

Guy seriously is going to be an absolute killer, and soon. Definitely has the mental makeup.

 

[SWC]

I don't like Karl Malone.

he was kind of right next to kobme in my book take that to the bank brochachos

 

[msudaisy26]

Luka even whines when they call the foul.

 

[Moe.]

Wouldn’t be too mad if Dort fouled out

 

[Instinctive]

This game is going to take 4 hours.

 

[identikit]

I think this gets overturned

 

[msudaisy26]

He was great the first 4 minutes of the game, but that was like 4 hours ago.

 

[Jayrod]

All shenanigans aside, this is turning out to be a great game.

 

[Desert_Power]

SGA responding to some haymakers out there from Dallas.

 

[Moe.]

Definitely a 3 but I don’t think he fouled him

 

[Desert_Power]

Not a foul IMO

 

[the moops]

No foul

 

[Moe.]

Man that’s a tough one to decide the game

 

[identikit]

Great game!!!

 

[msudaisy26]

Smart to miss on purpose.

 

[Moe.]

Thunder couldn’t get a loose ball and gave up too many offensive rebounds. Lively was really good.

 

[Desert_Power]

Didn't seem like a foul. Shame that is how the series ends.

 

[SayWhat?]

What’s with the “no foul” crowd? It wasn’t tipped and then he hit his arm on the follow through? That was the easiest foul call a ref could make. Stupid stupid foul by SGA.

Much rather would have had the tip in and OKC with the timeout to advance the ball down 1.

If you hit the ball first and then the arm on the follow through it is supposed to be a no call.

It wasn't tipped? What does that even mean.

We have seen countless examples of "hit the ball first contact is allowed afterwards"

 

[Capella]

Our Mavs

To me, it looked liked SGA got the ball. PJ threw up the shot after the first was blocked.

Open to different analysis. I don't have a dog in this fight.

 

[SayWhat?]

The countless examples are actual blocks, where the shot is released, blocked by the defender first and the hand/arm is contacted on the follow through. In this instance, SGA hit the ball, it wasn’t released, and then he hammed his arm while PJ was actually shooting the ball. Completely different situations.

It's all one motion from SGA. It's a block.

Yeah, it's a foul, just a crappy way for it to end, especially after forcing Luka into losing the ball. Kyrie had the tip-in anyways.

Okay, but how is that stupid by SGA?

 

[the moops]

This was called no foul earlier in the year. Hard to know what the actual rules are for they seem to make it up as they go along

[Moe.]

I do think you see that go uncalled all the time right there, kinda like a PI on a hail mary type of deal. Oh well, blaming the refs is for losers, Thunder had plenty of chances, Mavs made big shots.

Hopefully Presti has the clarity he needs to be decisive this offseason, because I think OKC is close, and the hardest pieces to get are already there.

 

[the moops]

OKC player stopped playing when he heard the whistle

Like they were gonna get a rebound...

I think fouling a 32% three point shooter with 2 seconds left, up a point, in game 6 of a playoff series is the definition of stupid. And a 6’8” jump shooter at that. But that’s just my opinion.

 

[Yo Mama]

Kyrie is 14-0 in close out games (he obviously had some help in those wins but impressive stat)

He blocked the shot and barely got him on the follow through. Come on.
