yeah, i'm talkin dwight / yeah, i'm talkin steve: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

nice manu flop there

WHICH ONE HA HA

haha scal is even more of a homer than Tommy

i dont really like overtime its like youre psyched to see whos gonna win and then the game just keeps going

ok the Larry Sanders era has begun, 18-16-1-1-5 in 33 minutes

i wouldn't have minded overtime in the C's game.

otm, the only good overtime is like playoff hockey sudden death shit

scal seems to think the celts deserved to win that game so he is indeed a bigger homer than tommy

I was kinda thinking "eh he just blew up vs. the Twolves I dunno" but 2 games in a row like this is special

Celtics pissed away being spotted a 17 point lead. They didn't deserve shit once they let them back in.

basketball sudden death would be funny

If Larry Sanders hits a couple of threes Matt's head is going to explode.

lol Duncan, sorry bro

courtside fans keep spilling their drinks in san antonio

furious toweling left and right

brevin knights analysis is p good

he was a good point guard

memphis gonna lose this game cause they havent been able to take advantage of bonner guarding randolph

turrible game from zbo

Grizzlies have no legs in this overtime. Spurs seem a step ahead. I guess that rest was a good call.

marc w 1 fga since 3rd quarter (?)

ya grizz on a back2back, faded in the 4th

on the other hand 2pt game

how the fuck did they not get called for a shot clock violation wtf

oh god

gr8 foul by manu there

shot clock violation, foul on manu

refs pooched that one.

Derek Fisher 2-2-3, 1-5, 3 TOs

terrible pass tho anyway

like where was that play even suposed to go

lead pass to a corner 3.

eh if rudy catches it he might have a dunk

hope this game doesn't decide playoff seeding

this might have been bad enough to get one of those useless NBA statements

he was way on the sideline and manu was right with him, i men its mostly a bad pass because he wasnt open, but also he wasnt in good position

they'll be plenty of shit calls in other games too. It's a shame the Grizz blew a big lead in the first place - make a stop and this OT never happens.

nah this is pretty egregious

grizz shouldve rested their starters

especially since the Spurs flopped their way into OT to begin with

In basketball, there are so many possessions that a blown call or two is never the cause of a loss. I mean, if Memphis shoots better than 27% from 3 they win.

conely seems to have a lil bit rondo disorder in passing up layups

The refs aren't responsible for ZBo shooting 5-21.

It's nice to want to blame refs -- I've done it probably 100s of times -- but it's almost always bullshit in a basketball game.

They still blew it on the shot clock violation. No excuse for that.

I just totally disagree. Stuff like bringing up ZBo's FG percentage is the kind of crap people do whenever a team gets robbed. We heard all the same stuff after Sacto game 6.

Like oh they didn't have a marvelous performance so it's ok they got screwed

it's the sports version of "Well Gore didn't even win Tennessee"

No it's not, but then you and I don't agree on much of anything when it comes to hoops.

I mean, they blew a few calls, some in Spurs favor (for example, the shot clock violation) some in Grizzlies favor (foul on Bonner when Randolph clearly pushed him into the shooter). They didn't screw one side over the other in any sort of egregious manner.

That's a matter of debate but zbo's fg percentage has nothing to do with it. It's just a way to dodge the issue of officiating in general, as if a team only deserves a fair shake if they play well

didnt notice that game being particularly poorly officiated overall tho obvs the back to back bad calls in overtime were v high leverage
