All Hail Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 13 hours ago, glduck said: my already-considerable respect for kawhi went through the roof. when he leaves the game the spurs are up what, 23? then the back half of the 3rd quarter, and the entire 4th, i watch four all stars all at the peak of their superhumaness run roughshod over a 40 year old manu ginobli, dejounte murray, kyle anderson, danny green, patty mills, a way-over-his-prime pau gasol, and lamarcus aldridge, who is doing his "i'm 6'11, but i'm going to make this shot as difficult on myself as possible by spinning and fading away from the basket" thing. the talent level of golden state, compared to that of san antonio, is incomparable. and yet -- and yet -- kawhi leonard's overall awesomeness completely made that machine run to near-perfection when he was on the floor. felt bad when the spurs couldn't secure a pair of defensive rebounds that *could* have changed the outcome of the game in the last minute or so. final four flashbacks. Kawhi is a great player and the warriors probably don't win that game if he is healthy. However, I think it's worth point out that the Warriors overcame a 22 point deficit in SA without Durant less than a month ago and Kawhi played the entire game. The Warriors seem to routinely come back from large deficits and have done so against all 3 teams they've played in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude's maybe the most underrated coach in all of basketball history. Helps that I love his anti-Trump rants. Like his take here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 i imagine the lakers are excited to add 6'8 lonzo ball to their roster full of interchangeable faceless 6'8 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know exactly what the Kings will do. They are taking a player from Europe that we've never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 we haven't really discussed it here but i thought the zaza thing was way overblown. i don't think it was intentional, and if the nba really wants to make a stink about it they need to go into next season with an emphasis on calling it. my team shoots nothing BUT 3's and long jumpers and they were stepping on extended feet all year. it's unfortunate what happened to leonard, but nothing flagrant.

Orange Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 LMA looked like he was lazily playing in an All-Star game last night. Good to see he's doing to SA what he did to Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter if it was intentional. Don't do it. It should be a flagrant 1. Fucking with someone's livelihood is no bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 i don't have a problem with zaza getting a flagrant for it if the nba would have been looking for and calling it consistently all year. the only person to step on more feet than cj mccollum this year was me at my junior prom, and 3J never got that call, let alone was anyone smacked with a flagrant because of it. all hail's video proved that officials can't even be bothered to watch for it two days after it became the nba's biggest hot button issue.

RogueDuck Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 It's hilarious to me to here spurs fans complain about dirty players. I guess they forgot Bowen and that they still have the flop artist known as Ginóbili. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 this first half was a good reminder that lebron is still the best player in the game, the cavs don't need to worry about long layoffs, and at 6'10 kevin love can't dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
