Around the NBA - March 2018

Marcus Smart is the heart and soul of the Celtics

That Fall was fucking scary

 

[andalusian]

That was a nasty fall, hopefully he will be ok

 

[KingSpeed]

It didn't go over my head, it is irrelevant because teams play the same amount of games. Your example had teams with different games back and different games played. The real life example has equal games back, not the same thing.

It's not irrelevant. It is how teams are ranked throughout the season whether or not they've played the same amount of games. Percentage.

Down goes Timberbulls... let’s Go Warriors!

 

[ripcityboy]

Even I can slightly clap my hands for the Warriors if they beat the Spurs.

 

[dviss1]

Mistakes happen.... what I don't understand is how they decided to jump the ball when Orlando never actually got to have a possession. It should have just been a reset and Orlando gets another shot. Why do we even have replay if it can't prevent something like this from happening?

I honestly wish I as a referee had an answer on this.

The possession literally never happened.

 

[DDolla]

Curry hurt wow

 

[ripcityboy]

Curry just went down with a sprain.

 

[Cippy91]

Curry just rolled his ankle, don’t know if he will continue playing but sounds like he could be out against us tomorrow.

 

[dviss1]

My guess is that one ref (and probably the Lakers' timekeeper) thought that the Magic player guarding touched the in-bounds pass. The other one didn't agree so they decided to go to the jump ball. Maybe that isn't one of the things that's reviewable in the last two minutes?

That's not what happens though. If I have definitive, 100% info on the touch happening, that's the call that gets made. You never guess.

Hope not. I want to play them at full strength.

Lol

Poor Davis Bertans. First he gets his break away dunk swatted by KD, the JaVale McGee dunks all over him.

Yep. Sad. 14 years with no playoffs.

 

[ripcityboy]

A part of me wishes we could play the Spurs first. Man I hate the Spurs beyond any amount of reason.

GSW misses their first 12 shots and loses Curry less than two and a half minutes into the game, and they're still up by 7 at the end of the 1st quarter. Not looking good for SAS.

[Labinot41]

What happened to steph?

Ankle injury

 

[Boob-No-More]

What happened to steph?

Tweaked his right ankle.

BNM

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Chris Craig]

Is Steph out tomorrow then?

 

[Labinot41]

Stephen Curry (tweaked right ankle) will not return to tonight's game.

 

[Labinot41]

Is Steph out tomorrow then?

Probably, i can't imagine they let him play in a 2nd of a b2b after a injury

Golden State, even without Curry, is still better than almost the entire league.

It sickens me to say that.

 

[DDolla]

Looks like Thompson is hurt too

 

[BonesJones]

Shit man. I love Jaylen Brown. Great dude, very mature for a 21 year old and plays his ass off. Hopefully he's alright.

 

[BonesJones]

Looks like Thompson is hurt too

I mean, what the fuck is up with us facing teams with injured stars? The basketball gods repaying us for Roy and Oden?
