The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

Refs aren’t on any side

Why do y’all say this

One team shoots jumpers all game what do y’all expect the numbers to look like

 

[pmatic]

Draft lottery tonight?

Tuesday at 8pm.

 

[sohi 23]

See which team gets away with more contact and how they are able to bait the officials.

Bro you have Draymond Green on your team.

 

[freeze]

Hold on ya'll aren't even trolling... ya'll are deadass about the refs being on L.A's side... after last nights game??

The Lakers for the YEAR averaged 26 FTA per game, the Lakers against GS have been about 8-10 attempts under that number 4/5 games this series, against the team that fouls the most in the entire league.

that's some insane mental gymnastics to be playing here

They're like a +47 from the free throw line this series bruh. There were a few games where singular played shot more than the whole warriors team. You can say they're shooters. Okay. Shooters get fouled all the time. Especially off ball when they're trying to get to spots. Plus the Lakers flop an insane amount, collectively. Not just a 1 man thing like a Trae or harden or embiid. Shrouder, Bron, reaves, D'Lo and more. All flailing and head snapping and acting like they got hit in the face and the refs reward them for it. But then more contact on the other side, lo siento papi. Squeaky wheel gets the oil. Warriors and coaching make comments that stuff is sketchy, then refs adjust and call it even. Warriors haven't gotten any advantage from the line. It's not about calling in their favor. It's about calling it evenly. Y'all think it's just about calling stuff for them. No calls hurt near equally as bad. Calls and no calls change energy, momentum, rhythm, allat.

Hella people see it besides delusional laker fans.

Janelle Monae

Janelle finally realizing she just needed to show a little T&A to enter superstardom has definitely been a blessing

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

People still think the tournament is adding all these extra games to the season

 

[antidope]

Prestige is fake

Totally agree. Especially in America. Nothing about this place is prestigious. But they know how to sell stuff here better than anywhere.

 

[WASHED KING]

We're not going to talk about the clear loose ball that was off of GP that resulted in a Curry 2 at the end of the shot clock in the 4th?

Or was that "calling it fair".

Looney's elbow to AD's head wasn't a foul, that's calling it fair? Lakers players getting bopped in the head and face on drives and GS fans want the whistle swallowed and say that's calling the game fair

A fairly officiated game doesn't mean both teams shot the same amount of free throws.

 

[freeze]

Watch the game and put the fandom aside
Analyze how they are calling it, not just on one side, but both. See which team gets away with more contact and how they are able to bait the officials. I am fine if you call ticky tack fouls, but be consistent and allow the other team to do it as well. Game one was horrible and one of worst games i have watched.

Game 2 was worse

 

[noblekane]

And that's a problem.

Lakers should have had at least double.

me being unbiased i have to agree

but its to be expected

warriors suns is a more juicy story than lakers nuggets

nba wins either way by stretching out series.

Bron getting the Shaq treatment when he hit the paint

Actively foul hunting. Don't even be trying to score.

[WASHED KING]

Bron getting the Shaq treatment when he hit the paint

2nd half layup, 3 Warriors around him, each get a piece of him.

No call, that's fair though

But you are a Laker fan....

Huh? The show is over papi.

 

[dman14]

Austin reaves getting the Shaq treatment when he hit the paint

Palm the ball and pushes off when he tries to beat defender off the dribble. Flails arms while driving. Pump fake. Defender stays down. Lowers shoulder into defender. Shuffles pivot foot and throws body into defender.
Whistle called

This is not hoop/basketball

Iverson was not getting away with all that

 

[elpablo21]

Gonna be the exact same December games we always watch except ESPN gonna create new graphics and theme music for it

 

[second2nonee]

Celtics inserting RW into the starting LU tonight

Where did you hear that? Was it from the unconfirmed Celtics fan on Twitter?

Standing on the hill that the warriors are a team of honor and civility is wild

Cats were in here calling Dennis dirty for grabbing Draymond's leg but said Poole's pull on Ja's leg last year was a non-issue.

They're hypocrites.
