NBA Season 2021-22

I absolutely hate the foul-baiting of the Suns. And the refs are doing everything they can to get Paul his championship.

Brothers has gone wild.

Dinwiddie playing well.  Mavs need him or Brunson (if not both) to join Doncic and they will be fine.  So far, Dinwiddie picking up the pace and the Mavs are up even with Brunson again being terrible.

I'm actually still upset that Giannis wasn't called for a flagrant 1 when he elbowed Grant in the head. But instead they called it an offensive foul.

NBA protecting their golden boy Giannis.

Probably because he didn't actually elbow him

Yeah, just a shot to the head with the forearm.

It was actually with his tricep area. Not really a flagrant because such a motion isn't by nature unnecessary

Shot to the head seems flagrant... But the kick to TIMELORD'S nuts was a no call so...

Yeah, really bad basketball...

Embiid is a tough guy and I respect his competitiveness.

But apparently Chris Haynes in-game said that Embiid just started using his phone yesterday because of the light from it (since Embiid as we know has an orbital fracture)

Ummm… is it a good idea to have him play in basketball games with a lit-up stadium then?? 

Or will he literally suit up in a Batman uniform with black goggles too lol

Tinted Kareem glasses + the Kobe mask would be a pretty epic look

There are lots of shots to the head that are not flagrants

Stars can hit guys in the head. Lots of kicks to the nuts too.

That's not what I'm saying at all

Yeah, really bad basketball...

No rhythm to the game cause of so many fouls on both sides. Booker and Paul having below average games. Could be the theory that Moranis has about not enough rest for Paul.

Do people love or hate crowder?

Suns interior passing is very good. Making Bismack look good

He is an old man.  needs more rest.  Plus, he actually has to guard someone since the Mavs are guard heavy.  He can't hid defensively, especially since Booker isn't exactly a good defender.  Paul just can't do it on both ends every night, especially with only 1 day off in between games.

Have hated him ever since his Cavs debut. Well, actually, his sooky whingeing prior to that turned me against him. But his innate ability to put himself in positions to hurt other players is a bother for me

[Moranis]

24/4/6 for Luka in the 1st half.  Suns have no answer for him.  Mavs up 2 and Brunson is 1 of 5 for 2 points.  If Brunson ever gets going, Suns will be in trouble.
