watched some of the Heat/Sixers last night and no matter how flagrantly obvious the foul, players were flamboyantly protesting every time.
you're clearly emotional and upset...haha. like i is said i think they need to take their time and write some very clear rules. then they need to make sure every coach and player has a clear understanding and no favorites... lebron, chris, etc. but your rules would do more harm than good, man. i love this game so much. i have to ignore most everyone who complains about this coach, that player, and everything else. i would be lost without the nba.
I looked up his stats last night... I knew he didn't play much and didn't really deserve a roster spot BUT he's only played like 500 minutes in the last 6 seasons TOTAL. I can't imagine there has ever been a player that was full time on a roster with fewer minutes over 6 seasons.
i'm not sure what can be done. it's clear that no one fears/respects the refs. maybe they never did, but the guys couldn't afford the fines that come with ejections and techs, etc. not sure.
Yep, the season series is currently tied at 1-1 making the winner of Sunday's game the 8th seed.
Just someone who has seen the light.
That is pretty crazy.The boys are back in town

Nets coach Steve Nash says he expects Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving to all play Saturday against Chicago ... which would be just their eighth game together this season.

too long to read, but i think the issue with fouls is also that technical fouls really don't mean much anymore. You get a play last night like Udonis coming over and pushing Dwight, then poking him in the face. No problem for Udonis who gets a tech because it is 2 free throws and not much else. Maybe make technical fouls a little more meaningful will get some of the whining and complaining to go away?
Yep, Round 1 will be way better in the West. Feel like Round 2 will be way better in the East.
probably right, unless the Heat end in the 6th spot and play Milwaukee 1st round. That series will be fun and real interesting after the Heat beat them last year
glad to see they looked focused last night. Was a real punch in the face last night from Miami, i think Doc has done a good job with working with the team to not let these things get out of hand.
538 has updated their odds. Bumped Philly to 4th. Clippers now #1, jazz #2, nets #3, Sixers #4. I think this seems pretty good. Nets probably would be the best money bet right now.
glad i got in earlier on some of those 2. Right now if the Clippers, Nets or 6ers win i am in pretty good shape. have some sprinkled around, and mostly the 6'ers winning it all will be the most joyous. Them winning the Atlantic division tonight was profitable, so good start
Hard to be too sure with a best-of-1, but I think we’re going to see full-on Playoff LeBron. Anyone standing between him and that extra day of rest turns to dust.
great highlight. the second comment beneath tracks with what I'm thinking:
If Lebron is playing and 80 percent I put them as a slight favorite.
Lebron will either a) guard Curry and shut him down or b) get so many calls from the refs that GS won’t have a real chance to win
Nobody really shuts down the stars in the game anymore. Better defenders than Lebron have tried to shut down Curry the last 6ish weeks and have failed
I've noticed courtside that the players clean up their language when there is a woman ref. Much more enjoyable to be at those games as a spectator with kids.
LeBron doesn't have the legs to chase him and GSW has become much better playing off of Curry as the season has progressed. Should be a good game.
well, i'm glad the Bucks didn't shy away and are beating up the Heats tonight. honest kudos to them, listened to a few NBA podcasts while i was DIY'ing today, and almost all of them told the Bucks to sit their starters to avoid having to play the Heat in the 1st round. Would love to see that match-up, and the Cs to get the 8th seed, so we can have a fun revenge playoffs for the 1st round
Technically in the air, but some of them are pretty sure things.
Should be some good early games too.
Tatum is playing to make an all-NBA team because he will be eligible for an additional 30 million dollars if he makes all-NBA. Knicks should win but I’ll be on Tatum over points too.
