NBA 2018-2019 playoffs thread...finals is set..”Warriors vs Raptors 2-4” Raptors win the title!!!

I hear you but how fair is that to him?

The rules dont change just cause the playoffs started.

Refs could dead all that shit by calling it one way the whole time instead of switching it up on him.

NBA don’t do shit until forced. The way shit like this was handled in te 80’s if a player like Klay was doing fuck shit like that, the goons were inserted and People started getting hit. And fights started. And refs were forced to get off their asses and start calling shit. Basically either you handle it or we’ll handle it but fuck shit will be checked.

Why?

What sense did it make for him to go to the Lakers
He wanted to play more off the ball what better PG than a 6'10 PG that looks to pass first. Also when has Lebron ever played with a dominant Center don't give me fat out of shape Shaq. We had the outside shooters in JJ Reddick and Landry Shamet.
This would have cemented his legacy as G.O.AT.
The only player to lead three organizations to NBA championships

Plus we still had the assets to pull off the Butler trade.
Imagine the finals matchup
Simmons
Reddick
Butler
James
Embiid
Vs.
Curry
Klay
Durant
Green
Cousins

I don’t know.

Life ain’t fair. I guess he needs to figure out how to navigate the fuck shit like the rest of us.

Hence the answer is to get up under KD, Klay and Steph’s feet like they’re doing Harden and force the NBA to just have all their stars ankles fucked up or start calling it.

Clearly they don’t give a fuck if Harden’s ankles get fucked up, but make them face a chance of GS without Durant. If the refs want to “prove a point” then make them choose between proving their point and losing stars for the playoffs

Tell Harden stop kicking his feet out after every 3 point shot he takes trying to draw fouls instead of just jumping straight up and down like normal jump shooters do

 

[4 Dimensional]

No way to gaurd that shot.

Its sad that it took LeBron being out for so called basketball fans to appreciate players like Dame.

 

[Llano]

So y'all think Sunday was some fuckery, wait until tonight



GS will be up 2-0

 

[REDLINE]

KD didn’t appear to be out of bounds to me, you all are just looking at it differently...

Very true, but it’s the NBA. They’re trying to get as many points as possible plus get defenders in fouls trouble.

Adam Silver fucked up on this one letting dude ref tonight. This is gonna get ugly

True, he’s been under appreciated for a while now. That’s why he should come east.

Lmaoooooo that’s what happens when your team leak reports and call out refs by name..

So your admitting Houston needs manufactured fouls to beat GS?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Shit is rigged lol

The fucking funny thing is
Scott foster doesn't like the warriors either lmao

So fucking funny
The warriors absolutely hate Scott foster because of the fuckery he pulls

Go look it up

But yeah rigged lmao

 

[Dr. Truth]

Y’all niggas are ridiculous. The NBA and Refs hate Dreymond But the refs and NBA cheat for the Warriors . Lmbaooo

 

[REDLINE]

Most of the fouls are “Manufactured”. Everyone’s trying to sell a call instead of just playing basketball.

 

[KingTaharqa]

NBA ratings prolly gonna be even worse this round. Instead of talking great players and moments the discussion is bad refs and non competitive series. And this is the "marquee" matchup? B-O-R-I-N-G

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Steph falls by himself on 3s and he also kicks his legs out when he shoots.

You dont consider that flopping? If not, what do you call flopping exactly?

Im not complaining about the refs. Good/bad calls on both sides. I was fine with the refs last game.

However, i will say that Harden is in a tough place. All season long the refs are calling it a certain way but now in the playoffs they switching it up on him. Not sure how fair that is.

I would also add guys like Gordon, Tucker, Durant and Iggy are also guys who go straight up to shoot, the flopping is only a few select guys.

I don't consider that flopping
I said everyone does that now the only person on either team who doesn't is klay
Steph def isn't jumping super far into to create contact
He does fall down so does KD so does all the shooters so did ppl playing in completely different games in the playoffs last night
It's just how shooters shoot now

I only have a problem if they call it one way and not the other




And as far as fair goes it's interesting that all year everyone complained because he's the only one that benefits from bs foul calls and can travel only him
And one game they don't reward the 4 point play shit but do allow him to push off and travel and get all his accustomed fouls near the rim it's not fair

Very interesting

Entire league and NBA complained about it

Niggas in this very thread wanted him suspended less than a week ago for faking an elbow to the neck


But now



Ok got it.

The Rockets are 0-6 the last 6 playoff games he's officiated. GS are 4-4 the last 8 he's officiated.

Actually Sundays GS/Houston game was the highest in a couple years. The drama with the refs will make more people tune in.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Yes because 4-4 means he's biased for them at .500


The warriors and rockets hate his officiating

Period

Equally hate it.


Which is the point
It's not a gift for either team
He shouldn't be in this series

He shouldn't but ratings were at a all time high Sunday so the NBA wants to add gasoline to the fire.

So let's stop acting like this is a good thing for one team
When both teams hate him

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

As far as them being “Unbeatable”. If Chris Paul wasn’t injured the last two game last year things might’ve been different.

Harden didn’t have a good game last night and the Warriors barely won.

That's the crazy part-- The Warriors were generally more dominant pre-KD. He gives them something they didn't have before and it's obvious why they choose to rely on him at times but it seems like overall he takes away from what made them great in the first place.

 

[KingTaharqa]

The highest for a 2nd round Game 1 in a few years which isnt saying much. And thats 1 game, the 1st game and thats coming off last years WCF. If you guys go down 0-2 you think people are still gonna watch? What series after this one is gonna draw big ratings? Even in the East, Milwaukee and Toronto look overmatched and dont draw big national audiences or lead water cooler talk. We'll see how it plays out though.

Bruh there’s shit people get away with because it’s their move. Like Draymond setting picks like he’s a lead blocker. Or your other bigs grabbing on picks like they’re on the OLine. Are they infractions? Yes. But it’s baked in.

Iggy raking across the wrist for years. The next time that shit is called will be the first. Steph grabs and holds but they let him do it because he’s little. Darymond the only nigga that can get a tech and continue yelling in the refs face for a minute straight cursing and everything and never get his second tech.

These are all facts.

None of those are dangerous. None of those things can get people hurt. If you guys were doing some shit and there just was no foul called but no one was risking being hurt, I’d be annoyed but whatever. But multiple times you guys had your feet between Harden’s feet when he landed. That’s dirty shit. And dirty shit can’t be left unchecked.

Hell even if the league fined Klay and issued him a tech after the game tha gave Harden no free throws but put a deterrence against doing it, I’d be fine. But they won’t. So the only answer is Steph and KD also have to have feet in between when they land too. All or nothing.

If they had just called one of those, even giving the ball side out, that’s fine too. But no deterrence? Saying it’s absolutely ok for jumps shooters to have to land tangled up with defenders now? If that’s the rules. That’s the rules for everybody.

And I don’t want anybody to get hurt. But it’s obvious klay could give a fuck if Harden does.
