"We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
Last night's announcers mentioned that the two refs between them had around 50 years experience on the job and (IIRC) 9 and 7 finals games between them. I thought that was a remarkable nugget of info.
ha. good find.
collectively the wisdom around here usually exceeds the mainstream media by quite a bit

Looking back on that thread, what I said about Jaylen and Tatum has pretty much come true. I did vote for Tatum in the thread, BTW.
Giannis, Middleton and Matthews with 2 fouls each in the first quarter. Down by 9 they’ll need to try to be aggressive while avoiding fouls.... that’s tough.
Were it not the fact that it was fucking Miami, it would be an extremely likeable team.
I want nothing to do with facing Giannis, who will average 18 free throws a night against us, and Khris (the Celtics Killer) Middleton, so as far as I'm concerned, I want Miami to stomp the shit out of the Bucks.
LOL, Giannis gets 4 foul shots in about 7 seconds of action, neither foul was remotely "hard."
nice job Red, on a whole there was a lot of good work done on that thread.
Not from me, but I have been the driver of the Jaylen Brown Bandwagon Bus for years, so I'm not ashamed at all. I was wrong, but I'm fine with it.
Milwaukee is turning it around currently, but man Miami is doing a damn good job at making the Bucks feel uncomfortable on offense.
now Giannis and Middleton have 3 each. Miami will keep attacking them in the 2nd half. Until then, how do these guys stay aggressive and keep driving to the paint if one charge gets them benched again?
No team gets to ECF without looking good. I just want this to be a war. 7 games. Hard. Long.
That Lopez/Butler dosey doe on the tie up was hilarious. Aggressive play going on but a lot of guys were stifling laughter.
She's a shill for the officials. It's hard to watch sometimes, IMO. She almost never questions a call, and when they show a replay with basically no contact, she always just says "oh that's a foul."
100%. I'm fine facing the deep and well coached Heat, we can throw a bunch of good defenders at Butler and have matched up reasonably well with them this year. I want no part of Giannis and Middleton, the latter of whom turns into Jordan whenever they play the Celtics.
there ya go... 3 min into 3rd. How can he be aggressive (his whole game) and lead a comeback in foul trouble?
Giannis didn't lower his shoulder there?
I don't care if Butler was moving. That's a charge. You can't just act like an NFL running back (but he always gets away with it).

LBJ, Giannis, Harden. What a dumb league sometimes. Just give superstars 8 fouls and call the game straight, at least that would be more up front.
How did Giannis not get called for a fucking loose ball foul when he just trucked that dude? Or the offensive before that on his bucket, when he just went through Robinson?
Milwaukee looks so much more predictable than Miami right now.. Butler is really good in this role and Miami seems to have more depth and more shooters.
The funny part is Korver’s semi-incredulous reaction to the regular foul which is an auto-whistle when the shooter lands on your foot in the landing area......can’t wait to see his face when the flagrant is called.
Miami is clearly the better team in this game/series. Whether the refs allow that to play out remains to be seen.
I really like Giannis, but because of the way the NBA officiates for him, it makes me despise his game and him. It's almost unbearable watching him get call after call, when he's basically a bull in a China closet.
Fuuuuck — Andre looks like he may be done for the series. Hope I’m wrong. Heat can win without him, but he’s the ultimate glue-guy/winner, even at 36. +6 in his 11 minutes tonight.
