NBA Playoffs 2019-2020

Anyone watch the Lakers game and see LeBron go demonstrably nuts over calls he thought were wrong on several occasions?

Now think back to that technical that Tatum got in the last minute of game 2 that could have affected the outcome of the game. Doris Burke defended that technical saying the refs have been calling that consistently all year.

What complete bunk!!! Lebron does worse than what Tatum got T'ed up for 3-5 times a game and never gets a technical. Other stars do the same thing, no technical. Not sure what Doris was thinking defending that terrible T but you don't call something that weak, that late in a playoff game where that one point could decide the game.

Absolutely. I was pretty livid about in the game thread, given the amount of remonstrating Lowry gets away with.

It's like, you can charge at them and get physically up in their face if you've won an MVP (like LBJ or Russ), but god forbid you express frustration in a general sense as a 22 year-old!

the NBA is a business with its media and corporate partners. They all collude to sell us a product. There is very little criticizing of the NBA by any of its media partners or their employees.

Giannis on pace to score 56 points?

Giannis on pace to score 56 points?

Looks like he's done after that ankle injury. That's too bad, he was on fire today.

It's a bit worrisome that he's screaming in pain but on the replay it didn't look like he twisted it or stepped on anyone's foot or anything. Hope he didn't tear an achilles.

He looks alright now, just a regular ankle sprain.

Butler's off today. Bad shots, bad passes, he looks like game 4 Jaylen Brown right now.

Unless the Bucks are up by 20 the Heat will win this in the 4th.

I agree the Bucks can't win close games...

But that's what happens when you blow out teams during the regular season.... and not being in pressure situations.

The Gianni-less Bucks are putting up a fight. They aren't going to go down easy. The Heat are going to have to earn it.

Might have been a scream of frustration/anguish at the likelihood of being swept rather than pain

it's a case of a reinjury.

it happened to me once, i saw black before my eyes out of the level of pain i was in. it was temporary tho, i marched through the rest of the game

Can we get Jae Crowder back?

[apc]

Every contender needs an ex-Celtic on their team.

He's really flipped the switch after being awful in Utah and Memphis. Back to 2016-17 levels. He'd be so good off the bench for us
