Gotta love seeing something happening on occasion only to try to make into a universal truth. Overall scheme and strategy stuff seems to be shifting faster than ever. The “bigs are done” talking point was played out a few years ago.

I’m kinda out on the NBA regular season in general, I think I used to be the most active NBA poster here under a different handle. But the playoffs are the absolute best.

Not sure if anyone else had made this switch but I used to be a league pass guy and now I just listen to podcasts to be kept in the loop during the regular season.
 
Green is just annoying. I am just a fan and focus mostly on the Eastern teams, and I still wish Green would just go away. I can't imagine how much players who have to play him 4 times a year must dislike him.
 


This is worse, if Draymond does this he’s suspended no doubt about it. Thibs is an idiot btw for keeping his starters in.

That play happens 5 times in every basketball game, wasn't remotely dirty. Thibs is definitely an idiot for still having his starters in, especially an injured Randle

This isn't a dirty play--that's playoff basketball. Guy was going for a block and Randle fell. Big, athletic dudes fall hard.

Tweet deleted. Not surprised. If it's the same play, then Sabonis fouled a Warrior's hand with his chest as he got shoved to the floor. Unforgiveable.

No, it's Sabonis grabbing Draymond's arm on the rebound and less than 15 seconds later fouling Klay by spinning Klay around and falling down before he grabs Draymond's ankle with both hands so he can't run down the court.

Oh so Sabonis committed a normal foul then “grabbed” Green’s ankle.

Still in the camp that a stomp to the chest is SLIGHTLY worse.
 
Tonight's thoughts:

The Grizzlies are an easy team to dislike.

The Bucks are good, even with Budenholzer's mediocre coaching.

The Timberwolves should be a lot better with the talent they have. How much of its core's careers is Minnesota going to waste on Chris Finch?

Yes, Sabonis committed three fouls in 14 seconds. Not one of them was called on the court. They reviewed the tape and gave him a technical for the last of the three uncalled fouls on the court.
 
Chuck: I’m juggling 2 balls out here…
Shaq: is that what you’re doing?
Kenny. Head down laughing.
Ernie: almost speechless
 
Pulling for Wolves. I sorta hate their team. Not super fun to watch. Very few scoring options. Made the idiotic Gobert trade..... but they are the home team in the upper midwest.

Kawhi out tonight, the NBA was foolish for scheduling Kings/Warriors and Clippers/Suns around the same time(30 minute stagger) but with Kawhi out that probably takes the intrigue out of that game. Clippers still have wings that can go off randomly but I can't see them being able to keep up with Booker/KD.
 
Watching Joe Harris brick one open look after another is painful, man. Dude's turned into Chris Dudley.

They had to review everything. That stuff is hard to see in real time since it was in between multiple bodies in the paint.

Most people are critical of Sabonis too. It just doesn’t nearly rise to the level that Green brought it to. You see these plays in games all the time, someone hinders another player from progressing down the court.

Not like that you don't
