    I don't understand why people are amazed by the Ayton dunk play. Batum beat the Spurs in 2011 on the same thing, also with 0.9 left. It's not like this came out of left field.

    Not the best play I've seen with .9

    When Nurk broke his leg Paul George was asked about it and went out of his way to say he wasn't real fond of Nurkic, before then giving the obligatory 'but don't wish it on anybody.' Who does that? An asshole. One more reason Pussy P can go fuck himself.

    OK, so you're really having a hard time with this one... the ball tonight was a live ball because it was inbounded and hadn't been touched. There is no other situation like that, where the cylinder essentially doesn't exist in the NBA.

    The situation you're talking about, the ball bounced up and the guy was hanging on the rim while it was in the cylinder after an attempted dunk, that's always going to be basket interference, it's like a textbook case of it. I'm not sure if the ball is live once it hits the rim or not on an inbound pass that hasn't been touched but the situation your describing sounds completely different than the one tonight.

    It would seem to me that the Suns coaching staff knew that rule but the clippers coaching staff didn’t..otherwise you tell your tallest player to guard the rim at all costs..it’s not like you don’t know where the pass will be coming from

    Suns have been carrying Chris Paul all year. They would’ve done just as well or better with Rubio. I’m sure of it.

    Seems like some might agree with you?

    Pretty much the ENTIRE Suns team would disagree with you.

    Your sure of it? More evidence of your lack of understanding for the game.

    Also made it illegal to own more than five sex toys but keeping a dog chained up without water or shade is explicitly legal.

    Dumb question: Why is Kevin Love on the Olympic Team? Yes, I know he's been part of USA basketball for a while, but someone more deserving is going to be excluded.

    It doesn't seem like people are queuing up to go bathe in the Covid-19 soup that is Japan right now.

    Next step: REQUIRING guns for all. In fact, guns are soon to be a form of voter ID in Texas.
