Beverly flop was bad indeed, but it did draw blood at least or he bit his toungue on purpose which I wouldnt put past him lol.

But yea he shoulda got a flopping texh for acting like he just took an uppercut from mike tyson.

U said it best, ball dont lie. I thought the bs was when they gave clippers the ball when beverly knocked it away from booker, replay be damned they shoulda stuck with the call on the court imo.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I fell asleep and missed the ending.

 

[Villian07]

yea the reviews were ridiculous. The next to last one actually allowed phoenix to set up a play with .8 secs left so glad it worked out for em.

Hope cp3 and kawaii cone back and the clips make a series of it bc idc much who wins. I think cp3 deaerves a ring but so does the clippers bad luck franchise.

Agreed. The game isn’t supposed to be officiated that way.

this is why I don't watch games live. DVR, let it go about a half hour and then fast forward through all commercials and reviews.

I don't get the review hate. Its there so they get the call right. People would be complaining about missed calls if they weren't complaining about the review time. Which btw, really wasn't that bad for any of the reviews. There just happen to be a few of them in the final minutes.

 

[Villian07]

Yea i think it was more of they were reviewing every single call down the stretch it seemed, even the obv ones they got right, like the ball ayton touched last on the sideline or the last rebound that went oob off of LA, but that allowed monty to draw up the play so in the end cant really complain about the reviews unless ur a clippers fan lol

What did folks think about Lou’s decisions on the final inbounds? Seems like:

1) don’t have Zubak in since he can’t jump. Stick your more athletic guys (Mann, Reggie) in there and say “deflect any pass that goes near the rim” (which is the only place the ball could realistically go with 0.8 seconds).

2) maybe have Cousins (guarding the inbounds) position his body so that it’s angled between the inbounder and the rim? Idk, just a thought.

Is Lou that bad? Dumb question?

I think they're all fair points. Like you said, with that much time, it basically had to go to the rim.

Good first half. There's not been a whole lot of those in these playoffs.

 

[UL_1986]

I want it to be Clipps-Bucks, but it’ll prob end up being Suns-Hawks. Oh well.

Bucks need to keep hitting shots, but take it to the damn hole. Jfc.

 

[UL_1986]

Two great blocks by Lopez and Giannis.

 

[UL_1986]

Trae is something else. Dude can ball. Collins too.

 

[UL_1986]

Bruhhhh that backboard pass to Collins holy lord.

 

[UL_1986]

Holiday having a good game, but Giannis needs to take over, Middleton too.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Young just showed out.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Bruhhhh that backboard pass to Collins holy lord.

Ridiculous.

Then the should shimmy and 3.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

hahaha

 

[UL_1986]

Nice flop

 

[UL_1986]

I genuinely laugh at the clowns that say the NBA sucks now lol. Complete morons.

I love it. Not to mention the playoffs are absolutely perfect time of year.

Bad shot by Middleton to lead to a 5 point swing for ATL

The naysayers are casuals that hardly understand basketball. Bless their hearts.

 

[UL_1986]

This is gonna be a good series.

 

[UL_1986]

Huge put back for Capela. Him and Collins are a great front court.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Giannis reach is amazing to watch.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Impressive no doubt. Capela with 19 rebs. Wow.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

oof.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Just a waste of a game by the Bucks. They had no business losing this one but they're going to.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Please baby Jesus let this go to OT. I don't care who wins, just want more.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

gg

 

[UL_1986]

Dayum. ATL keeps rolling. Pretty cool honestly.

Like him or not, he's got game.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

This game ends just in time for OT with TB/NYI.

 

[jhmossy]

That shimmy by Trae on that wide open 3 was so savage. Amazing what this Hawks team is doing.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

This game ends just in time for OT with TB/NYI.

Well, that was quick.

 

[UL_1986]

Middleton blew it imo. 6/23 is unacceptable. And the bucks are so dumb, they designed a play for him to try and hit the 3 to tie it up. 😬

Yeah he turned on late, but your point is spot on. Holiday should have taken it.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

These guys are nuts.
