How became layman an NBA Player?

 

[Cippy91]

How many calls is CLE going to get in the second half? Refs gonna set the tone early. Just watch.

Yup. It happened

 

[Mediocre Man]

MM is never going to think he refs screwed us over. No matter how bad they are, he won't.

Ever.

Play harder, adjust to the calls.

Whete was the bitching about unfair refs during the 76ers game?

 

[Strenuus]

Problem is the refs would be horrible in the Cavs' favor about twice as often as they were horrible in our favor.

Eh. We also stunk in the 4th so far.

 

[LuckyShot]

Cut Jake. He looks good on an empty court, but can't get it done against an actual defense.

 

[SIeepwalker]

us 27 fouls
them 16 fouls
us 17 FTA
them 33

Not sure how you'v thought its been fairly reffed but okay.

The numbers don't matter.
You can have disparates numbers but a fairly called game and vice versa
What matters is what happens on the court and anyone that has been watching the game knows it's been bullshit

 

[BonesJones]

Layman's awful

 

[BonesJones]

Cut Jake. He looks good on an empty court, but can't get it done against an actual defense.

Yup.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why is Jeff Green getting the superstar treatment?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Olshey drafted him.

 

[DUB]

Can we please get Frye back as a commentator when he retires?

 

[Strenuus]

Ever.

Play harder, adjust to the calls.

They ran out of gas. Pure and simple. Refs have been shit on both sides all game anyway.

No, he just doesn't believe it should ever be used as an excuse for losing.

And I agree with that.

Look at shot selection. It appears to me that Cleveland is more aggressive. We are settlingvfor a lot of jumpers. Cleveland seems to be attacking the rim more.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me

 

[LuckyShot]

Eh. We also stunk in the 4th so far.

You'll get no argument from me there. However, I'd like to see if we'd stink purely because the other team locks us down with legit good play, rather than for the waters to be muddied by shitty officiating.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm starting to fall in love with Collins defensively.

You don't have to be defensive about it.

 

[DUB]

We stopped trying when we realised that the refs weren't going to stop shitting on us.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I was just about to say "we're only down 14 with 3 minutes lef---OK Kyle Korver.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

6 quick 3pts shot and we're right back in this!

 

[Mediocre Man]

No, he just doesn't believe it should ever be used as an excuse for losing.

And I agree with that.

Why is Jeff Green getting the superstar treatment?

Because he had heart surgery 5 years ago

 

[SIeepwalker]

Rofl Layman

 

[BonesJones]

Jake's just embarrassing himself now.

 

[Jade Falcon]

And Vonleh is on the clean up squad, huh?

 

[Mr. Robot]

You don't have to be defensive about it.

that was sneaky

 

[Mediocre Man]

Collins showing his limitless potential against 12th man

He got a clean block on a driving LeBron. That's pretty good.
