[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Good TO, Joe

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Martin missing on open looks will never not feel a bit salty in the old wound

 

[slamminsammya]

How did the 19-21 Mavs with Luka, Zinger and Brunson lose in the first round in back to back years?

they mad the western conference fi na ls dude

 

[Ale Xander]

they mad the western conference fi na ls dude

That was 22 dude, the one without KP

 

[slamminsammya]

That was 22 dude, the one without KP

my bad dude

 

[Spelunker]

DWhite is incredible.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

DWhite is clamps

 

[bigq]

The text in the paint is still the most embarrassing thing in the NBA this decade.

I refuse to read it.

DW block!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Challenge.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I refuse to read it.

DW block!

Its essentially the genetic sequence for gonorrhea.

 

[128]

That's continuation? Come on.

 

[The Mort Report]

um is that a flagrant?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Hit K in the Ps

 

[Spelunker]

Jesus, Bam

 

[lars10]

Bam def did that on purpose

 

[bigq]

Bam you son of a bitch.

 

[Mooch]

That is fucking dirty by Bam.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Deliberate punch to the nuts! Fuck you Bam

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Why is it a foul when our centers get punched in the junk? I remember this happening to Theis in the playoffs a few years back.

 

[Kliq]

Porzingis whistled for the foul after taking a Ric Flair-style low blow from Bam.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Way to minimize that blatant cheap shot by the despicable Adebayo.

 

[Helmet Head]

Bam is the worst. Illegal screens all day and groin shots. Never gets called for anything

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Really would have challenged that

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Should be a suspension if these fucking blind refs don't want to call that in game action.

 

[Montana Fan]

Celts are playing to win this game. Think they want a strong finish to the pre-ASB half of the season. Only 13, non big 6, minutes so far.

 

[Helmet Head]

That was a pretty terrible decision by white, should have went back to Tatum

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Ask KP about getting whacked in the nuts.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Foul for being sexually assaulted

 

[Kliq]

Sideline reporter not asking about Porzingis getting punched in the balls is journalistic malpractice.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Watching with no sound, but surprised Kristaps can give a non-high pitched halftime interview right now.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Sideline reporter not asking about Porzingis getting punched in the balls is journalistic malpractice.

It was "extracurricular".

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

It was "extracurricular".

Heat Culture

 

[Tudor Fever]

Is there any mechanism for calling something after the fact on that? Probably doesn’t help that Joe didn’t challenge it in real time.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was a punch, he straight up grabbed and clenched his dick. That’s fucked up. Draymondesque.

 

[lars10]

Sideline reporter not asking about Porzingis getting punched in the balls is journalistic malpractice.

Par for the course in the NBA though.. if you pretend it didn’t happen then it didn’t happen.

 

[benhogan]

That was a pretty terrible decision by white, should have went back to Tatum

White's first non-heady play this season

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Genuinely shocked they didn’t look at that. That’s as textbook a flagrant foul there is.

 

[gammoseditor]

White's first non-heady play this season

JJ is in the house. The curse is strong today.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Genuinely shocked they didn’t look at that. That’s as textbook a flagrant foul there is.

Horrible non-challenge. That’s potentially a 5-8 point swing, plus you make the refs see what happened.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Genuinely shocked they didn’t look at that. That’s as textbook a flagrant foul there is.

NBA will announce he's been fined like $10k in a quiet release this week, way less than his act deserves.

 

[lovegtm]

That was a pretty terrible decision by white, should have went back to Tatum

Went too early, and took a tough layup, which is probably a ~50% shot and leads to a runout if you miss. Really lowkey bad decision.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Horrible non-challenge. That’s potentially a 5-8 point swing, plus you make the refs see what happened.

Can you even challenge a non-hostile act call though? Genuinely asking, I don't know.

 

[lovegtm]

Can you even challenge a non-hostile act call though? Genuinely asking, I don't know.

No, but you could challenge the call, and have them decide to initiate a review as a result.

The fact that they didn't challenge tells you how much their internal analysis must value having a challenge available late, if the game is close.

 

[chilidawg]

Tatum in the mid post is money.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That inbounds to KP is undefendable

 

[Nator]

Tatum is killing them softly. Kristaps is killing them loudly.

 

[Ed Hillel]

No, but you could challenge the call, and have them decide to initiate a review as a result.

The fact that they didn't challenge tells you how much their internal analysis must value having a challenge available late, if the game is close.

There can be no higher leverage situation than that one without knowing the future. You have to make that challenge.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

DWhite screened two dudes on that inbounds dunk by KP

 

[Ed Hillel]

That inbounds to KP is undefendable

Maybe giving him the literal clamps…

 

[chilidawg]

That inbounds to KP is undefendable

Especially with Herro defending.
