Game Thread WEST FINALS, GAME 4: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - MAY 20, 2019 - MONDAY, 6PM, ESPN

Mark Jackson is talking his way out of ever getting a job interview again. Garbage announcer, even worse coach

 

Yup. They should reinterpret it.

 

By that definition any shot with a trailer who fouls is committing a clear path foul. The spirit behind the rule is important and it was clear Dame had defensive position before attempting to foul. Also, there was no possession change in between when Dame had position and when he fell behind.

 

It just seems he foul him while both players was even then Curry went by.

 

Does this pubescent Curry brother always act like he's hot shit after the most basic play? No humility whatsoever. I'm rooting for Giannis to swat his shit and dunk on his head.

 

Agreed.

When a player gathers to take a shot, the 'clear path' ends.

 

He passed up Meyers wide open at the elbow. Where were Evans hands out? Was one out or were they both in front? Hand placement of a cutter is how you communicate.

 

As an NBA fan of so long, what infuriates me about watching the Blazers play on national television is how much fucking head-patting the NBA media gives Portland and their fans, like we should be grateful that we have a joke of a basketball team to root for and that everything about them is "cute" and "OH LOOK AT THAT WIDDLE TEAM TRY TO PLAY WELL!!". They are condescending to the Blazers and their fans at every opportunity and I'm royally sick of it. And media people like Barkley who actually defend and appreciate the Blazers for what they do and who they are are mocked.

 

Again, there's like 2 or 3 guilty of that. And they haven't made a peep tonight, unless I missed it.

 

Have an awesome 2nd half river.

 

If he is taking pain meds for his ribs that are affecting his judgement; somebody needs to be seeing WTH is happening.

 

I fucking hate ESPN after this. So much condescension. So much shade. Every comment. I can't wait to get swept this series and for them to lose their money.

 

Elle must be crying tears of joy right now. With the 3rd quarter coming soon, I'll prepare the eulogy for our season.

Ladies and gentleman, we are GATHERED HERE TONIGHT to celebrate the memories of the Portland Trail Blazers 2018-2019 season. It was an emotional roller coaster. May this season..........rest.........in.......peace.

 

To piggy back on this, no one was unsafe on the play. It wasn't some full speed Rudy Fernandez type play.

It's as common as a foul could get.

When kids foul to stop the clock went don't I call intentional foul and give them 2 shots and the ball?

Because even though they intended to foul, they did not endanger, intend to harm, or unnecessarily contact their opponent.

They need to not call that by the letter.

 

Is anyone on this dumbass broadcast gonna credit Dame for trusting his guys?

 

lets go, need a strong 3rd quarter

 

Well, time to implode and lose by 20.

 

Blazers just had a 4 on 3 but the 3rd defender was slightly trailing....yet the Blazers walk the ball up the court. It's things like that many here wish they would change and improve on.

 

I've never seen Dame pump fake this much. He ain't right
