The NBA needs to rip up half the rule book this offseason. The way the game is officiated right now is taking away from the product.

You flip, you are out. Just simplify it, because it is freaking annoying. And somehow so much worse when they review a play and you know they saw the flop and still reward it.
 
CP3 is off the list of greatest players to never play in an NBA Finals which is a pretty short list btw.

Nash, Wilkins, English, Webber, David Thompson, Gervin, Gilmore, Maravich, Carmelo. Who am I missing?

There are a bunch of younger players who are excellent who we'll put on this list in a few years if things don't change.

I guess Yao, Vince Carter, Tmac (made it never played), Amare Stoudemire, Giannis as of now. The greatest players to never win a championship have all made the Finals, basically everyone on an all NBA 1st team has made one, forgot the Joker also Tim Hardaway.

Beverley's cheap shot in Paul's back as the game was ending is a great example of what the NBA game has morphed into in the modern era. I happened to be having dinner in a hotel bar watching the 3rd period of the hockey game and saw this flagrant foul playing on another screen. A blind shot like that? Really? IMO, the pro game has morphed into a complete farce.

If anything, the league nowadays has gone the complete opposite direction of what you're saying. I dno what you mean by this. The league used to have clotheslines and all out fist fights, now a normal basketball play where you accidentally touch a guy's face is a flagrant foul. I honestly have no idea what you mean by this, not being snarky.

The cheap shot was an embarrassment, but Pat Beverley is an embarrassment. He's always been a clown, he honestly isn't even that good of a defender, he's just an annoying punk. The rare guy everyone hates to play with and against.
 
NBA players may want to rethink these jam packed schedules in the next collective bargaining agreements. Watching a pivotal game 5 of a conference final where both teams are missing two starters is a sign that maybe the players are getting pushed a little too hard.

I mean it wasn't exactly a normal season.

I didn't think you could improve on your Ball brothers take but here you are. You're watching a hockey game and Pat Beverly's shove tells you the game is a complete farce. What does that make Tom Wilson, or Todd Bertuzzi, or Marty McSorley? Maybe you're just not a fan of basketball players.

I’m not shedding a tear for CP. He seems like a bit of a jerk on the court.
 
The Bucks are playing a throwback style, with Lopez posting at the 5 and Portis playing an old school 4. It is like we are watching a game from 1990.

or just allow the players to have a whirlpool and massage therapy on the sidelines. Maybe then Kawhi would have sat with his team on the bench. :rolleyes:

Paly less games, make less money. New TV contract isn't too far off, NBA execs already taking Euro model, more important games in the middle of the season playoffs round robin type deal to get more eyeballs.

Hmm, what's the major difference between NHL players and NBA players?
 
PJ Tucker actually kind of sucks. He is useless offensively and just clutches and grabs on defense.
 
Budenholzer gets a 22 point 4th quarter lead and decides to stay in a 3 point shooting contest with the Hawks. Now the lead is 10.

He should be pounding inside to Lopez every possession the rest of the way.
