I'm less bugged about that no call than I am about Westbrook shoving Jazz players down in the back twice and it only being a common foul each time. The dude is seriously out to hurt people when he gets mad about missing one of his bad pull up jumpers. He also intentionally threw a shoulder in Ingles' face, elbowed Rubio in the face, and none of it was ever reviewed.
Harden's antics are irritating and stupid, but they're not going to sideline a guy with an injury.

By Jeff-DSA Go To PostIf Westbrook "got what he deserved," someone would give him a concussion and we would be justifying it?if he was half as mad about it as everyone else was then he'd not spend the last 4 years of his career on the receiving end like "why does this keep happening? :( :( :(" dude's a drama queen.
even jeremy lin doesn't relish in the attention of being smacked around the way rubio does.

i want your long take on this issue pls
That's all I have anymore. I'm too defeated.

Westbrook is a dick. It's hypocritical to the extreme too, because if he was pushed in the back, you would have a 2-game suspension against whoever dared to do it.

Obviously Rubio plays up the 3rd elbow...BUT WHY ARE WE GETTING TO A THIRD ELBOW IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

Mitchell was the first player since Magic to go 25/10 and shoot 50% or better in a debut playoff game. Magic is always the answer to the "since then" when a rookie has a remarkable stat.

that shit is worse than towns not calling for the ball. defend yourself, chump. its the playoffs ffs
By DY_nasty Go To Postwait on another man to save you in 2018But that would just be him putting on a tough guy act, right?

Jerebko looked beyond useless last night. Let's have him tough man act it up and bait Westbrook into a fight then.
By diehard Go To PostBut that would just be him putting on a tough guy act, right?the tough guy act is joe ingles acting like being chippy and shit talking is gonna -not- get 40 dropped on him by a perennial all-star
who gets off the plane in SLC and says "oh shit, is that joe ingles?"
and getting smacked repeatedly as a grown man is whatever you want to call it lol. you tell me what he is for letting that happen in his first playoff game after being in the league for years. that's your pg
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe tough guy act is joe ingles acting like being chippy and shit talking is gonna -not- get 40 dropped on him by a perennial all-starThe Paul George thing extends back to a regular season where PG was the one that started shit. Don't act like getting chippy with All-Stars in the past hasn't been an effective strategy, PG ain't Lebron.

I'm confused at what you think he is supposed to do. Rubio isn't a tough guy and shouldn't act like it.
You just let "Playoff P" get his.
Edit: I'm also bothered by the lack of post game 1 hot takes. The sky should either be falling or parades should be in planning phase by now. Golden State in 3, Lebron gonna get swept, etc. Pick it up, please.

hoping for the refs to save what's left of your self-esteem after a bunch of lonely jumpshots and aspiring to be discount lance can't hurt though.

Him not shooting enough has been a problem forever, and it has nothing to do with how much shit he talks (which he does all the time).

lmao

We can break down Synder's "advantage offense" if you want, but i won't include anything about shooting because you are ... busy talking trash? Because that makes no sense.

Casanova, 65, said basketball occupied a particular place in her life. She didn’t tune into the games to get lectured or criticized — “He’s there to coach and entertain,” she said of Popovich — and she can’t separate what the Spurs coach says into a microphone from what the players do on the court. Similarly, she said she’s not watching the NFL while players protest during the national anthem, and she avoids movies that feature actors who espouse liberal views.So this person doesn't watch any movies, sports or indulge in any sort of media ever?
By DY_nasty Go To Postokay lol. sure.If he did, he does it every game. Was this your first time watching him?

By diehard Go To PostThat article is behind a paywall for me :/
Don't worry, it's just poor, pathetic Trump supporters crying because Pop told the truth and they can't deal.
By diehard Go To PostIf he did, he does it every game. Was this your first time watching him?don't even start with the "do you even watch games" nonsense when i was hyping donovan mitchell before yal even know what you had lol. save that for giri or dipro
ingles intentionally bumping pg repeatedly instead of getting himself open while running to the corner doesn't help space utah's already shrunken court.
By DY_nasty Go To Postdon't even start with the "do you even watch games" nonsense when i was hyping donovan mitchell before yal even know what you had lol. save that for giri or diproCmon man i know you watch games, I just know if you watch Jazz games. I watch a ton of basketball but i only see like maybe a total of 3 Hornets games every year.

I don't care if Pop brings up politics but i think he could stand to be a little bit less of a jerk to reporters. It doesn't mean anything in the long run etc but its kinda off-putting.

If a player is out there shoving people in the back and elbowing them they need to be suspended. That's just dangerous foul play.
I know you're just trolling utah fans, but that's a narrative that needs to be cut off before it starts.
By diehard Go To PostMitchell seems to feel like it's not a big deal.
bout to get real ugly
By Random Ass Username Go To PostIf you gonna suspend for elbows there will be nothing to watch.There's elbows then there's elbows.
If he's out there instituting a series of foul plays he should be done for the body of work.
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostMitchell seems to feel like it's not a big deal.
But how does his group feel.
By Randolph Freelander Go To PostBut how does his group feel.
By giririsss Go To PostNaw.I'm really not. You can blame the refs for not whipping out the capes or you can ask why rubio is content to be a doormat in his first playoff game on the road.

You got guys picking up teeth and not asking for a ref but he really wants to believe being defenseless is a part of the game. Okay, ref gives him a call or two next game - does that fix all the hundreds of other one way contact occasions? No. Rubio being a victim is every day stuff and he let's it happen because he's the kind of player that needs people feeling sorry for him.
Refs miss that stuff all the time or straight up let it go for a reason. They ain't his daddy.
