NBA Season 2024-25

[Who]

Terrible call on J Murray. Cason Wallace created all the contact. J Murray was retreating and trying to get away of the way.

Play On. No foul. Play On.

What the heck happened to the Cavs?   Were they just regular season contenders?  Was Indy a LOT better than everyone thought?
Bad matchup for Cleveland?  All of the above?

1. Indy is a lot better than people realize

2. Mitchell and Garland are turnstiles, healthy or not.

3. Hunter is wildly overrated, especially on defense. He is soft too - after the mini-fight with Mathurin he and his whole team turtled up.


This should be a wakeup call for that franchise. They need a defense-first PG - a Jrue Holiday or Derrick White-type to take some pressure off of Mitchell. And Mitchell needs to start actually trying on defense. Scoring 40 means nothing if he's giving it up on the other end. During the last couple regular seasons I've felt we can get the shots we want against them ourselves. Mobley is great but he can't do it all by himself.

Ugh, fine, we'll do it. Jrue for Mobley. Solves everyone's problems

Holy crap. How did Murray finish that?

[Who]

Another brilliant finish by J Murray to confuse the shot blocker Holmgren. Got the reverse layup to go plus the foul.

[Who]

Nevermind Jokic. J Murray is playing SGA to a standstill.

J Murray = 16pts 6-14 FGA 3ast 3 TOV
SGA = 17pts 7-14 FGA 3ast 4 TOV

[Atzar]

Ugh.  Dort is just gross to watch.  Either be physical or be a flopper.  I absolutely hate when players do both.

[jpotter33]

Dort is such a shameless flopper. They should challenge that non-sense.

[Who]

Oh my god. Jamal Murray!!

Answering everything that SGA is bringing.

[Who]

Haliburton vs Jokic would be an interesting Finals matchup. Two offensive geniuses.

Also two former ABA teams.

[Who]

J-Dub had a good start but he has been quiet since then.

Yeah, he had 9pts in Q1. Only 2pts since.

[Who]

J Murray = 24pts on 9-17 FGA
SGA = 19pts on 8-16 FGA

[jpotter33]

Lol these refs. In what world is that an offensive foul on Jokic? These refs are just up in their feelings.

Felt like I was on crazy pills watching that sequence.  No idea how the refs called it the way they did. 

[Who]

Bill Walton voice = "Grab a defensive rebound would you please" (exasperated sigh)
