I'm in a favor of getting rid of human refs and just going with an AI. Can't be worse than this shit.

Covington hits both of his free throws and it doesn't matter.

So many things attributed to the loss.

When you're up 1 and need a stop, genius Stotts has Melo in the game.
DJJ and Nurk on the bench.

But I sure enjoyed watching Melo get abused on defense all game and brick everything on the other end, thank you Terry !

Big bro! Clippers in the 1st round! Oh boy

Nah, bring them on. It would be that much sweeter to take out an LA team.

Yikes. It’ll be the pelicans series all over again but the good news is the series loss will generate big changes that are needed

I'm trying to picture "Blind Loyalty".[/
Really good question! I found the definition as presented by an apparent professor of linguistics a few posts back in this thread………:

“We wouldn't want that. People who are blindly loyal tend to have an extremely low IQ, I think. Obviously I'm not talking about anyone on this forum, but blind loyalty tends to show a lack of intelligence and critical thinking, don't you think?”

I guess what he’s saying is that blind loyalists are only one step above Negative Nellies…….

I don't know... the Sith aren't getting mind controlled in star wars. It's the dumbass storm troopers with a weak mind who get jedi mind tricked.

the report also says that Powell fouled Booker before the ball was inbounded, which would have been a FT and the ball again. So there's a point in the other direction. Also says the foul called on Powell was correct call. And, CJ with an uncalled over -&-back on the last play

the other side is that Bridges traveled on hid dribble-drive with 34 seconds left and it wasn't called

Whether it was or wasn't a foul is irrelevant to me. It was a ticky tack call on the last shot of the game. You just don't do that. It's weak ass shit.

He actually does have to lol

After the game, I used to the Calm app to wind down and center myself. It worked.
