OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

[BlazerBeav]

I don't understand why people are amazed by the Ayton dunk play. Batum beat the Spurs in 2011 on the same thing, also with 0.9 left. It's not like this came out of left field.

 

[Strenuus]

Not the best play I've seen with .9

 

[noknobs]

Despite making fun of Dame for those free throw misses, I take no joy in watching Playoff P continue to struggle. PG made sure things were cool with Dame after that. As far as PatBev goes... fuck that guy!

When Nurk broke his leg Paul George was asked about it and went out of his way to say he wasn't real fond of Nurkic, before then giving the obligatory 'but don't wish it on anybody.' Who does that? An asshole. One more reason Pussy P can go fuck himself.

 

[blazerkor]

no. And I've seen it called recently. Guy dunked the ball and hung on the rim. Ball bounced up first, then went through while his hands were on the rim - offensive goal tending called.

OK, so you're really having a hard time with this one... the ball tonight was a live ball because it was inbounded and hadn't been touched. There is no other situation like that, where the cylinder essentially doesn't exist in the NBA.

The situation you're talking about, the ball bounced up and the guy was hanging on the rim while it was in the cylinder after an attempted dunk, that's always going to be basket interference, it's like a textbook case of it. I'm not sure if the ball is live once it hits the rim or not on an inbound pass that hasn't been touched but the situation your describing sounds completely different than the one tonight.

 

[AldoTrapani]

If that was Nurk, he won’t dunk that and come down then try to lay it in lol

Nurk is garbage imo.. he needs to see a therapist the way he plays the game

 

[PHXBlazer1]

It would seem to me that the Suns coaching staff knew that rule but the clippers coaching staff didn’t..otherwise you tell your tallest player to guard the rim at all costs..it’s not like you don’t know where the pass will be coming from

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Suns have been carrying Chris Paul all year. They would’ve done just as well or better with Rubio. I’m sure of it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Payback for Paul George laughing at Dame last yr

Seems like some might agree with you?


Looked something like this?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Suns have been carrying Chris Paul all year. They would’ve done just as well or better with Rubio. I’m sure of it.

Pretty much the ENTIRE Suns team would disagree with you.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Your sure of it? More evidence of your lack of understanding for the game.

 

[crandc]

But they Sho as hail, supressin vota rights.

Also made it illegal to own more than five sex toys but keeping a dog chained up without water or shade is explicitly legal.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Dumb question: Why is Kevin Love on the Olympic Team? Yes, I know he's been part of USA basketball for a while, but someone more deserving is going to be excluded.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Remember when everyone said why would Crowder wanna go to Phoenix over Portland? Lol

No.

It doesn't seem like people are queuing up to go bathe in the Covid-19 soup that is Japan right now.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Cameron Payne is no slouch. IMO the best back-up PG in the NBA.

Where were you in 2019 when he had to leave to go to China because nobody wanted him?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Too busy legalizing guns for all.

Next step: REQUIRING guns for all. In fact, guns are soon to be a form of voter ID in Texas.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dumb question: Why is Kevin Love on the Olympic Team? Yes, I know he's been part of USA basketball for a while, but someone more deserving is going to be excluded.

Because no one else wants to go

 

[Chris Craig]

Lol

The 76ers moving to California?

 

[MickZagger]

Where were you in 2019 when he had to leave to go to China because nobody wanted him?

I was in China trying to tell the world he’s the messiah!

 

[calvin natt]

Celtics gonna hire Udoka. Can remove Boston from competition

 

[Chris Craig]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I was in China trying to tell the world he’s the messiah!

Sounds legit

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Good luck to him. But not TOO much luck, otherwise I'll be super mad we didn't hire him.

 

[MickZagger]

Good hire. Not sure why he wasn’t looked at more from us

 

[MickZagger]

Any time you win in a playoff game people will talk about it more than a regular season game.

 

[Jayblaze]

Ime udoka was the reason lamarcus left the blazers neil has a grudge on him for that

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Down BAD.

 

[LayneStaley]

Atl vs Pho Finals would be so fun to watch.

 

[LayneStaley]

It’s official, we drafted the wrong Collins.

 

[illmatic99]

It’s official, we drafted the wrong Collins.
