So I missed the Nuggies game while on a flight - why didn't the Spurs foul down 4 with 30 seconds left?

some people saying it was being called for, but they couldn't hear it due to how loud the arena was.

That being said, situational awareness, etc

It's 100% on LMA for not fouling. You can see the clip where Pop was yelling at him to go foul and eventually just gave up.

Idk, I never liked Aldridge after he walked out on the Blazers like that. He didn't even look like he wanted to win that game.

Anyway, I'm just here for Archi's mind blowing stat on AK being the first player to average x points, x assists, x rebounds, on an x win team that still gave up home court advantage in game 1 of the conference semi's

[Krandor]

I know he's a good shooter (percentage wise) and a very very good basketball player, but Horford's shooting form bugs the crap outta me.

Anyways, that was a whoopin

Who woulda thought that the way you stop giannis from becoming a human freight train is by taking away his lanes to the basket. They almost made it look easy

Looks like it's the annual time of year for the refs to not call fouls for Harden.

Only questionable one imo was the step back 3. Otherwise good no calls

It will be a very interesting off season for the Spurs.

I only watched a little of the GSW/HOU game and if any this was against any other team than the Rockets I'd of thought GSW weren't giving them room to land on their jumpers. However, so many of the shots in real time and later shows how HOU one way or another try to make contact out of nothing to get calls. While I do not like either team I'd rather GSW wins and even sweeps this series.

Klay definitely got too close on a couple 3s that Harden took, but this finally looks to be the playoff series where the refs tighten their whistles and Harden runs into problems.

I reviewed a few of the Klay ones after I posted and I agree. The rest I agree with the no calls. I'm not going to be a nut and say Harden's style is ruining the game waaaa but his shit needs to stop along with everyone else that isn't trying to actually make a shot, only trying to get a whistle.

LMA pulled a J.R -_- him AND Patty Thrills.

The final Rockets possession really sealed while I dislike Harden. Down 3 with seconds to go every player's natural inclination should be to make the shot, but Harden is more concerned with chucking up some garbage trying to draw a foul.

every one of these is a foul and they are the worst types of fouls in basketball except maybe a flagrant 2 around the head given what they can do to a player (see what happened when the Dubs broke Kawhi's ankle doing the same thing). if it was anyone but Harden people would be pissed, instead everyone is just kinda shrugging and saying lol karma. refs need to get it together or James is going to lose an ankle.

every one of these is a foul and are the worst type of foul in all basketball except maybe a flagrant 2 given what they can do to a series (see what happened when the Dubs broke Kawhi's ankle doing the same thing). if it was anyone but Harden people would be pissed, instead everyone is just kinda shrugging and saying lol karma.

Look at where he takes off and lands from though, especially on the first one. I remember watching seeing the second one as an obvious foul.

What is the rule if the defender is going forward but so is the shooter on the shot (like in #1)? I imagine a foul still but I don't think those instances are egregious injury plays like the Kawhi injury. The shooter shouldn't be landing a foot in front of where they took off

I think he was fouled though
