Leeroy Jenkins 2,756 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 What a weird ending. Butler was fouled but then throws it away on a no-call. Then Middleton isn’t fouled on a 3, but gets to hit 3 free throws. Then Butler is kind of fouled with no time left — contact had no impact on the shot, but if Giannis doesn’t put his hand on him, he probably plows into Butler and knocks him down pretty bad.

trader jake 1,379 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) I enjoyed Chris Paul the final minute of game 7. He ridiculously flops at mid court on defense, misses a short jumper on offense, than OKC gets the ball back and with the ball down 1 with ~15 seconds left (as the announcers mention him saying he 'was built for this') he promptly fumbles his dribble a bit and throws the ball into a defenders hands and the offensive set goes to crap. To top it off, down 2 with 1.1 in regulation he spent an entire time out arguing with the officials before not being the player to shoot the technical foul. Then he finishes strong by not getting open on the out of bounds play, and his team exits stage left. Clutch as always for CP3. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Adams especially could have and should have had far more situational awareness. At one point during the inbounds process--he literally had a wide open path to dive to the basket and instead of back cutting and diving--he came upwards and out. He basically ran to the exact area/range on the court where he has zero effectiveness. I had picked Houston to win the series--but I would have at least liked to have seen a final shot go up by OKC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leeroy Jenkins 2,756 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Oh what could have (should have) been That’s my guy. Outside of basketball, I love that man to death. He knows that,” Heat star Jimmy Butler said of Joel Embiid, via Sam Amick of The Athletic. “I tell him every opportunity I get, and I appreciate him for making me a better player, a better leader, better at understanding so many different things. I talk to him all the time, and I tell him, ‘I wish you were still in the playoffs, because you deserve a championship.’ Because he works. He works at it, and that’s just my guy.” Joel Embiid sent out a one-word tweet moments after Butler’s 40-point gem in Game 1, in which the Sixers big man simply said, “If…” For most, this was Embiid pondering the Sixers’ fate had they kept Butler on board, instead of parting ways with him during the offseason. Addressing the tweet in question, Butler admitted that like Embiid, he too wishes that they were still both on the same team: “Yeah, I saw it, and I know that he still wanted me to be on his team. And I still wanted to be teammates with him,” said Heat talent Jimmy Butler. “Let’s not get that misunderstood. But here, with these guys, I’m not trading that for the world either.” 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
