2023 NBA Playoffs

[slamminsammya]

That honestly feels like they got it right. Good job to the refs, got to give credit when and where it's due.

completely agree

 

[djbayko]

Yes, they got that right.

They recognized that one foul was not like the other.

Totally agree.

 

[Kliq]

The stomp is a lot worse than the ball-swipe that got Green suspended during the Finals imo.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why isn’t Monk taking the free throws?

 

[RorschachsMask]

That was insane.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Poole seems to have absorbed some Draymond dickhead energy

 

[stp130]

How is grabbing someone's foot worse than purposely falling/sitting on someone?

 

[k-factory]

Looney with 5 fouls. Won’t last long

 

[The Social Chair]

Is this where GSW finally figure out that they play better without Draymond?

 

[djbayko]

Oh that steal was beautiful. Too bad they couldn't score.

 

[TripleOT]

Play Wiggins in the Green role.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It’s like if Vontaze Burfict was a captain on the dynasty era Patriots

 

[Euclis20]

The finals suspension was automatic, he'd accumulated too many flagrant fouls and that gets you an automatic suspension.

Why isn’t Monk taking the free throws?

Technical fouls can be taken by anyone, flagrants are always taken by the guy who was fouled.

I love the Pats but I believe this is how people specifically saw Rodney Harrison from the outside. Also sobering that this rightfully is in the past tense.

 

[slamminsammya]

why aren't technical fouls counted as personal fouls? I feel like it would discourage a lot of draymond dickheadery

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Or they’d just call even fewer technicals on him.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Missing FT? Shouldn’t be a problem!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is awesome

 

[dhellers]

Sabonis is legit,

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

This game is awesome

It sucks how many people aren’t going to be able to watch this fourth quarter since it’s on so late on the east coast (and even for central time).

 

[Tony C]

Why isn’t Monk taking the free throws?

terrible call by Mike Brown - I don’t get it, either.

 

[mostman]

Suspiciously stopped showing the camera angle with his heels above the line.

 

[djbayko]

Answered upthread. They weren't tech FTs.

 

[stp130]

This game is awesome

Yep, this series if gonna' be Must-See TV.

 

[dhellers]

I am very impressed with the discipline of this Sac team.
Will be interesting if it travels to SF

 

[mostman]

Both of the games this series have been incredible to watch.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Light the beam

 

[The Social Chair]

Light the beam

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Looked like a two pointer live, but hard to tell

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Light that beam.

 

[djbayko]

Suck it, Warriors.

 

[timelysarcasm]

That's what you do to old teams. Run them into oblivion.

 

[Kliq]

There is only so much an individual defender can do when you switch everything, but Davion Mitchell played about as good of defense as you will see on Curry. Picked him up full court, pressured him every time he got the ball, never surrendered a clean look from three. Curry still got his, but it was mostly on switches and going to the basket against Sabonis, which Sacramento will live with.

 

[jmcc5400]

Playoff basketball is so awesome.

 

[stp130]

Please let this series go 7 games.

 

[slamminsammya]

i hope draymond gets swept

Yeah, he wasn't getting many clean looks.

 

[TripleOT]

Impressive how Mike Brown gets his team to press their offense the entire game.

I would like to see the Celtics to do the same

 

[bgo544]

Fun stuff.

 

[djbayko]

Please let this series go 7 games.

This series is fun, but fuck that. Don't tempt fate. Close out GSW early and move on.

Curry was 3-13 from deep, with most of the attempts tightly contested. He can hit all the layups he wants off actions, it’s not gonna beat you.

 

[Kliq]

The superimposed beam they just put in on the NBA on TNT show just had me cracking up.

Mitchell was attached to Curry’s hip. The only thing he could have done tonight for me to like him more is if he did the Night Night pose to Curry after making the corner dagger three

MikeBrown is no longer the "figurehead" he was in Cleveland

 

[slamminsammya]

never clear with these things if its the head coach or one of their assistants who is really behind the x's and o's stuff. on the one hand you have the d'antoni example where he really was the one driving the 7 seconds or less stuff, then you have the celtics defense in 08 that was mostly thibodeau.

 

[Tony C]

How can anyone root for this dirty asshole.

For the record, I have it on good authority that Green is just as big a douche to his own family. Shocking, right?

Please let this series go 7 games.

Fuck no. Let these chumps get humiliatingly swept. I love Kerr and Curry, actually, but…I want Green suspended and the franchise that supports him humiliated. Fuck GS.

 

[TripleOT]

The Kings bench +15 in game two, after going +5 in game one over the Warriors bench.

Monk outscoring Poole 50-21 in the two games.

 

[Kliq]

Kerr says he somehow didn't see the Green play live.

 

[radsoxfan]

Fuck no. Let these chumps get humiliatingly swept. I love Kerr and Curry, actually, but…I want Green suspended and the franchise that supports him humiliated. Fuck GS.

100%.

Kerr and Curry are great but they've had their fun and Draymond is just so so awful.
