5/27 - Weekend At Bernie's

[lars10]

I’ve officially reached the “put the game on mute” phase. Announcing is atrocious.

I’ve had it on mute the entire game.. Reggie makes me want to throw things

 

[soxin6]

Keep going to the basket

 

[Auger34]

JB…quietly makes 5 free throws in a row

 

[ifmanis5]

Good, keep driving it's bonus time.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Again from NBA.com

Flagrant Foul, Penalty 1, offensive player leads with elbow to opponent's face Flagrant Foul, Penalty 1, offensive player leads with elbow to opponent's face. “This is an example of a Flagrant Foul, Penalty 1.

It is the literal rule

He didn't hit him with the elbow. That is an example, not the rule leading with the elbow is considered unnecessary always. Jimmy did not lead with or hit him with the elbow he made contact with the head with his upper arm, it was part of a regular shooting motion, as such was considered not unnecessary.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

This broadcast team is cringe bad.

SVG having to explain what today's rules actually are to Reggie is pretty sad. He literally had no idea what the rule actually was.

 

[CreedBratton]

Taking years off my life

 

[ObstructedView]

Love that assertiveness by Tatum

 

[SteveF]

Celtics in the bonus. That's nice.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Yep, just keep driving. Win ugly at this point.

 

[McBride11]

Al is fucking everywhere. Did he take some meth during a TO?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Watch the replay again.

 

[stp130]

Getting calls.

 

[Cellar-Door]

And a T, hence the FTs

yeah forgot you got to double dip.

 

[JCizzle]

What the fuck is Martin arguing? That he got only two of Tatum's arms instead of that plus his legs?

 

[Erik Hanson's Hook]

Harlan crestfallen

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Holy shit, Al

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

LFG!!

 

[jose melendez]

I’ve had it on mute the entire game.. Reggie makes me want to throw things

I actually enjoy Stan, and I'm pretty soft on annoncers in general... But Reggie should be fired.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Just keep driving

 

[nighthob]

This may be the worst telecast that ESPN has done. Ever.

Poor ESPN, they’re so awful that they’re ruining TNT’s broadcast.

 

[luckiestman]

JB…quietly makes 5 free throws in a row

don’t jinx it man

 

[Average Game James]

Taking years off my life

I mean, the second half will probably only last like 7 hours

 

[Nator]

How does it feel to constantly see the other team getting to the free throw line, assholes?

 

[Bone for your jar]

C’s are maddening, but I’m feeling the grit.

 

[Auger34]

SVG having to explain what today's rules actually are to Reggie is pretty sad. He literally had no idea what the rule actually was.

Lispy was way too focused on the fact that Bam was just “steadying himself” as if that fucking matters

 

[soxin6]

Can we maybe just let them play basketball?

No. Miami got a bunch of calls last quarter and now the Celtics have a chance to get their share.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Joe West coming in to call the rim grab was big.

 

[8slim]

yeah forgot you got to double dip.

We need every point.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

It’s so stupid to have this tight of a whistle in Game 6 of a conference finals game. If I wasn’t a fan of one of the teams playing I’d have turned this off long ago.

 

[BigJay]

Is it 87-83 or 88-83. TNT says 88 but gamecast has it 87.

 

[SteveF]

Miami has 19 more true shot attempts.

 

[jose melendez]

Poor ESPN, they’re so awful that they’re ruining TNT’s broadcast.

Amazing.

 

[lars10]

I like how aggressive Tatum and Brown have been.. feel like they should run at Miami as much as possible.. feel like White should be getting primary PG duty at this point

 

[TripleOT]

Miami on the ropes here. Great calmness by JB at the line. Amazing interior defense. Bonus all the way for Boston, who have only 1 team foul. Grind this one out all the way to Boston.

 

[ifmanis5]

What a block.

Probably the blatant off arm push off Tatum gets away with constantly. It’s the one thing the refs have decided to give him

 

[slamminsammya]

Hehe I'm nervous

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Yep, just keep driving. Win ugly at this point.

I don't mind a win at the FT line

 

[jose melendez]

Sox won, so there's that.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Agreed---it's brutal basketball with a call at least half the trips. And a lot of them are marginal to make it even worse.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Great response after that Miami run

 

[Cellar-Door]

Watch the replay again.

I did, he goes into his body, rises up and clips him with the bicep, that;s a foul, what he didn't do is swing his elbow out, which is what the example tape shown above is pointing out.
People also need to realize... the commentary on coaching tape isn't the rule, it's an example of the type of play considered to be unnecessary, with an emphasis on the player safety of trying to minimize swinging arms into the face/head.

 

[luckiestman]

That 4 point play really let us stop the momentum. Just got to win straight up from here

LETS GO CELTICS

 

[Bergs]

I actually enjoy Stan, and I'm pretty soft on annoncers in general... But Reggie should be fired.

Him destroying the Knicks in 7 seconds remains one of my favorite sporting achievements of all time. But good lord, he sucks.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Joe West coming in to call the rim grab was big.

I appreciate that reference.

 

[TripleOT]

Miller is making me yearn for Mark Jackson.

 

[Patriot_Reign]

If the Cs can keep the lead they will win this game.

 

[soxin6]

What the fuck is Martin arguing? That he got only two of Tatum's arms instead of that plus his legs?

Martin is used to getting LeBron calls

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Sox won, so there's that.

Shouldn't you be neutral?

 

[djbayko]

I don't understand how the refs pull a complete 180 after how they called the game early.
