Around the NBA - Conference Finals

That's a HORRIBLE call on Ariza.

 

He's never flipped to GSW though. I watch it every morning.

 

Only issue I ever had with Stephen A was when he got all awkwardly personal with KD, like sometimes I think he’s right on, sometimes I think I need to get whatever he’s on. Either way, I actually kind of like First Take, and I am fairly sure those guys even back in the Bayless days were playing it up for the camera.

 

Been some crappy officiating all game, like you said a while back it’s my fault for watching the NBA wanting good officiating. The least they could do is be consistent with their crappy calls.

 

Can someone explain to me the moving screen?
It seems like Houston’s screeners are walking into the defender every time, Harden or CP3 stand there and dribble then Houston brings up a screener who doesn’t actually set a screen just kind of walks into the defender and moves them out of the way until a new defender switches on to the ball handler.
Is this not considered a screen because the ball handler doesn’t actually take it?

 

F the rockets bros

I hope King James can deliver us to salvation and win another one for Cleveland.

Man Rip City should be here. We've got history, were historically one of the best in the league despite only one championship. I hope we can make some moves in the right direction to get back to deep post season play.

 

ugh. I totally dislike the Rockets but definitely prefer Houston and Boston in the finals. Time for new blood.

 

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

 

I can Never watch Harden and CP3 win a Championship. I just can't. C'mon Golden State

 

Warriors in 7

 

CP3 was not happy, I wonder if he knows he is done.

 

I don’t like either team all that much and will cheer for whoever makes it out of the east.
I truly just don’t get NBA officiating, I just don’t, one play they’re tackling each other and no call, 30 seconds later someone breathes too close to someone and they get ft’s.
Two teams are both playing physical basketball, one team shoots 12 more ft’s and I realize a game can be called “well” and not have an equal amount of ft’s.
I just don’t get why calls are so inconsistent. I realize I haven’t ever been a ref, and that may invalidate everything I’m saying but the more I watch these games the more I think I really wish I could see what the ref is seeing because I know perspective is important. I don’t really know why it bothers me so much when I don’t care who wins but it does.

 

Would be really sweet if they got swept by Boston though

 

I'll take anyone from the east over anyone from the west. Warriors and rockets are as bad as it could have gotten.

I just don't think Boston can hang.

 

To be fair to the Celtics, I feel like that's been the narrative the last two rounds. They keep hanging around though and while stephens gets the credit for a lot it, I think it cant be understated how hard those players are playing on defense.

 

GS made so many stupid mental errors in the closing minutes of their last two games. Nice to see other teams do it too. 5 on 4 with a little over a minute to go and Quinn Cook is the one who takes the shot. Did anyone really think that 3 ball was going in?

When did Eric Gordon become a defensive stud? Amazing what happens when a team adds a great defensive assistant. Everyone seems to get better at it.

It's a tossup for MVPs this series: it's either Trevor Ariza or Andre Iguodala.

 

Eric Gordon is good. He's been the difference maker for the Rockets in this series so far.
