    In the low post or on a catch and shoot? I don't see how they don't get like triple teamed lmao. I know Gasol's an elite passing big, but ZBO?

    To me, Dame had a more egregious looking movement than Rubios. I do agree that both really should be called, but I understand how one could have been a non call, since Rubios' didn't look like a bull in a china shop, and Dames' was a clear clear out move.

    Yeah, I'm really surprised LaMarcus doesn't get called for all those blatant push offs in the post. His slap-away moves are more subtle (where he swipes away a defenders hand while starting a drive from a post-up). But when LMA backs a defender in, he often does an obvious pushing action using his forearm, but rarely gets called for it for whatever reason.

    Gasol had a game winner the other night... I forget who it was against. (Was it against Chicago? If so, sorry.) But I've seen Zbo close a few games as well.

    It is amazing... I'll watch replays when he makes a bucket, and about 60-70% of the time he pushed off.

    I only remember a few times where the ref has called the swipe. It's definitely hard to pick up if the ref isn't in the proper position.

    Maybe. Don't want to see him in the playoffs though.

    I want the Grizz and Warriors to be 1 and 2 and take care of the Thunder and Spurs in the first round

    Spurs aren't gonna lay down. I have a weird feeling about them. They might make a run. If they don't, Tony's decline has begun and Manu's retiring.

    If we go 50-19 like you want, we'll be the 2 seed. I think Mavs will be 7th though. Thunder won't make playoffs.
