draymond still committing Nut Subterfuge

poor brownie
― mookieproof, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
wow draymond really testing my theory that nut punchers such as chris paul are morally indefensible
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
xxxp yeah it just doesn't seem like he can affect a 48-min game through offensive rbs even though it seems disastrous when he gets a couple in a row
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
half of their guys are unplayable on one end of the floor.
yea it is super frustrating
― marcos, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
it's too bad that game sputtered out at the end cuz for the first 3.5 quarters it was maybe the best game i've seen this season game 6 WCF included
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:04 (seven years ago) link
also as magical as it can be to see kyrie make these impossible layups after dancing to the rim, when he starts running failed attempts play after play in crunch time it gets super annoying
― marcos, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:07 (seven years ago) link
yeah all of a sudden the clock turns to midnight and he's a pumpkin again
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:09 (seven years ago) link
he really is one of the most insanely skilled one on one offensive players in a long time tho
Dubs D in the second half was incredible
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:09 (seven years ago) link
Now that the dubs are up 3-1 and the Finals are effectively over, I wish someone would explain to me why letting both teams physically maul each other, by grabbing, bumping, and grappling one another is presumed to be a better, fairer or more exciting brand of basketball than the usual brand, where defenders are required to move their feet or make clean shot-blocks, and offensive players are required to set stationary picks, not commit traveling. How would enforcing the accepted rules of basketball make the NBA Finals less of a test of the players and coaches?
This irks me deeply about every NBA finals I've ever watched. I want to see skills, not muggings. I want to see "amazing", not mud-wrestling. imo, changing the officiating standards during the playoffs sucks balls. It always has and it always will.

Lebro got what was coming when he tried to nutmeg dray
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:14 (seven years ago) link
you know what else sucks are 9pm games jeez I have to go to bed my 1 year old is up in 4 hours
― marcos, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
funny you say that considering the argument that the warriors wouldn't be able to hack it in the old rough and tumble NBA
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
warriors can play tough pretty well def
― marcos, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link
The reffing tonight was atrocious.
― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
Both sides
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
it was called super tight in the first half and then in the second half they let them play didn't they
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:22 (seven years ago) link
The players in the old rough and tumble nba smoked, drank and were in a lot worse physical shape than the modern nba players. both the warriors and the cavs would be like gods in the NBA of 1975. but they'd both have to hire one brawler to be the designated brute who knocks out teeth when the opposing team plays dirty. it was how you protected your stars.

Loved the chippyness
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
i thought that game was really intense and in no way marred by it
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:30 (seven years ago) link
you can be intense and not hack, set moving picks or travel.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:35 (seven years ago) link
Yeah they just flat out weren't calling anything but at least it wasn't one sided
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:37 (seven years ago) link
i mean, u can expect things will get sloppy in the finals from nerves. so u can either call it tight and slow the pace down and make it much more halfcourt, or u let em play and occasionally see dudes get scrote-punched
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 11 June 2016 04:38 (seven years ago) link
so, the argument seems to be that refs swallowing their whistles makes for more exciting hoops because the pace is faster when nobody shoots free throws, regardless of the infractions on the court. maybe for the average fan, sure, I can see that. I still don't like it. it's like, I know what hoops is when played right and this game where infractions happen but not consequences is not quite real hoops to me.

those barnes threes tonight were v important. 4/5 overall from three

really really want to know what curry and lebron said to each other
― brimstead, Saturday, 11 June 2016 05:40 (seven years ago) link
curry said he was griping about not getting a foul and he said bron thought otherwise
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 05:42 (seven years ago) link
more interested to hear what dray told bron. something about honey nut cheerios hopefully
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 05:43 (seven years ago) link
lol

Tim Kawakami @timkawakami 3m3 minutes agoThe Warriors are now 16-2 from Game 4 on in a series the last two years. Note for Monday's Game 5: They're 10-0 from Game 5 on.

booooooring
Dave McMenaminVerified account @mctenAccording to a source familiar with the spat between LeBron James and Draymond Green, the trigger word was DG calling James a "b*tch"

def seem like kyrie was playing hero ball in that 4th Q
their offense stagnated and they blew all their defensive assignments lol
― 龜, Saturday, 11 June 2016 11:41 (seven years ago) link
^ sorry that is a captain obvious post but man u start to appreesh how the warriors and spurs keep on moving the ball even in clutch situations
― 龜, Saturday, 11 June 2016 11:57 (seven years ago) link
Was Cleveland just tired in the 4th?
― Interpretive Jigglypuffery (Leee), Saturday, 11 June 2016 14:08 (seven years ago) link
Maybe. The bron never came out
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 14:58 (seven years ago) link
Warriors tightened their defensive game in the 4th for sure.it was very enjoyable to see LeBron reduced to baiting Draymo to get a technical and then that hand blowing thing as a followup.

― Spottie, Saturday, 11 June 2016 17:33 (seven years ago) link
thinking draymo won't get suspended again. upgraded to a tech and thats it probably?
― Spottie, Sunday, 12 June 2016 02:41 (seven years ago) link
if i were a devious NBA string-puller i would do it now to get the Cavs another win
― Nhex, Sunday, 12 June 2016 02:55 (seven years ago) link
still think the warriors would own even w/o dray in g5, curry's gonna go super saiyin

draymond suspended & we'll see how much it matters
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 12 June 2016 18:25 (seven years ago) link
i stan for draymond but he clearly tried to nut punch bron and given his history in these playoffs he needed to be sat down
