Total rubbish! What is the meaning of shooting per say? How did we go from he was not shooting to now shooting per say which is what I alluded to in my previous post that he was off his feet before contact was made! Everyone including the commentators saw it but some how it is not a shooting foul!

Spare me all the bull.. Everyone and their mama who saw this game knew it was joke when it came to officiating. Giannis is great, the best player in the league, no one is disputing that but that should not stop anyone from saying the obvious.

Y’all miss me with this crap.

Bruh that was a sweep. No way was he shooting. He didn't gather to shoot neither was he off his feet till after contact

This is seriously what you are using to make a case? Really? For real though! This is the video, a box out and flop is what you are using to make a case for fair and balanced officiating in this game!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 12:14am On May 08, 2022
When most of the questions being asked by reporters to both teams is about officiating then it buttresses all that you need to know about the game.

On to game 4, I am done talking about this game.

How are you crying about no calls when you got double the calls of the home team. How many times was Giannis whacked in the paint while getting boards late. No calls. 17 straight minutes not one foul. And some how the ref favored the Bucks. I call cap

You got all the calls that made the game closer than it should have been. No coincidence that a 13pt lead evaporated in the same timeframe there was a 17-0 free throw advantage

I tire for them, they were all physical with the Nets now they have a physical team matching them toe to toe it becomes a problem... grin
From Game one and 2 there were so many questionable calls the refs let it slide but they can whine and complain about the officiating today.... lol

I don't know but if you keep jumping up and down, driving constantly, your knees will take a hit, and any touch could just put it out of place. You want to be careful, spectacularness is nice, but....................

How about the 17 straight fouls called for your team to zero for the Bucks?

Abiola landslide for 1993 sef no reach that one.

How is Morant claiming that Poole yanked his knee off, Poole must be Thanos or something.

Been seeing a lot of talk about Morant and his style and I have to ask How else will you have Morant play?

I mean it is true he could end up like D.Rose but the truth is his skillset is his skillset. What is the alternative. If we're asking a 22 year old to tone down his athleticism that his team and himself clearly need to succeed then I don't know what becomes of him moving forward
Re: The NBA Begins by starstaz(m): 5:55pm On May 08, 2022
Celtic/Bucks Game 3 is an epic while the Ref slept off with 0.11 seconds on the watch to go. First take Steven A will have so much to chew and salivate on tmrw.

His athleticism is definitely an advantage he should leverage on but he shouldn't play basketball at 300km/hr for 36 min every game. The way he lands is often very reckless. If he can learn from kyrie how to use superior handles to get his shot off and curry how to play off the ball, he would be unstoppable with risking his career

I understand but his handles are definitely not Kyrie level. His shooting is also dodgy. If you say he can be more of a facilitator I get that but these playoffs are clearly showing the necessity of Ja playing how he plays. Save for Game 1 ending.

He's scoring and facilitating at an elite level.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:33pm On May 08, 2022
Suns thought it was going to be an easy series but be like Mavs are matching them blow for blow.

If Luka's 3 and D guys keep making these 3s we could be in for an upset. Bertans, Kleber, Finney Smith. When they are hot they go Super saiyan

Remember, I have always said Finney Smith Jr is one of my favorite players. You guys have the best 3 and D guys in the league. Don’t forget Bullock also! He has been cooking..

Please. You guys should not jinx us. Keep is out of the spotlight and continue to bet against us. I want to hear Steven A skip bayless excuses tomorrow. Suns in 4 ko, suns in 4 ni. Book Mark this. If mavs win this series, we are winning the whole thing. Go and write it down. Shout out to nick right who has been down with luka and the mavs since day 1.

His journey to the nba just shows how there is not a one size fits all, when scouting nba caliber talent.

3 point shooting is very homecourt-centric. Those guys hitting 3s will shrink again in Phoenix. What that shows is, Suns will most likely still win in 7 because your team will shoot nonsense game 5 and game 7 if it gets to that.

Bullock was shooting nonsense today tbh. Smith, Bertans were the guys shooting well.

Bertans has been such a useful addition. Whoever signed off on that Tingus Pingus trade really helped Luka out

That's what it is. This same Finney Smith tomorrow might look like a G-League player when he goes 2 of 10. Even Luka was 1-10 from 3

Baba I dey tell you. I like stories like this because this man believed in himself and all he needed was for someone to take a chance at an undrafted rookie.
