[NBA] Thread: Six Coaches Not Named Byron Scott Fired

Butters

No Love at all

Butters

Ooh TNT showed the opposite angle of Crawford on the baseline and boy did he travel. Like 5 steps and double pivoting level traveling.

Xehalus

Spurs were in turnover mode and still almost won

game 7 is gonna be crazy

Dead Legend

Goddamn. Spurs played like crap. This is stressful.

Ilpala

We were dogshit. And now we gotta win a third game in Staples. Fuck.

Dhalphir

i don't think that final basket interference call made a difference either way, but I was gratified to see that they reviewed it thoroughly.

Game 7 hype

Dead Legend

Just should have fed Bellinelli the ball more

Jasconius

They should not have started spamming fouls on DeAndre Jordan the middle of Belinelli being red hot

nothing keeps a shooter on fire like 17 minutes of free throws

Mego Thor

No surprise that Pop went there. Hope it costs him the series.

Butters

Chris Paul really burned them for that too. The whole reason he got that last easy 2 was because they were preparing to foul Jordan and Paul just took off across the court.

fightinfilipino

good friend of mine is a huge Spurs fan and was bummed out by last night's game.

Raijin Quickfoot

All I know is.. Game 7 is going to be excellent.

Big Dookie

Oh god please let the Clips win.

I don't want to play the Spurs.

Leeks

Against any other team I'd say there is no way the Clippers lose three straight at home. Against the Spurs I'm mildly less confident. Still think the Clippers will take it though.

Jasconius

I feel like it's 51% advantage clips tonight. Unless Leonard can just take over.

Dead Legend

Got the fucking makeup foul called on Manu for the mysterious out of bounds kawhi rebound go fucking 2-3 at the FT and then Chris Paul makes a bullshit 3

Dhalphir

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN BARELY WATCH

Dead Legend

That was probably one of the better games SA played in the series but holy fuck there was some home cookin'

Buzzer at the end

Clint Eastwood

Best first round series in years, and I hope the spurs core gives it one more go next year. Not a big clips fan, next round's gonna be unwatchable. Two most detestable teams left playing each other, right? Clips and rockets? Christ just imagine all the complaining

Dead Legend

Awful inbound by Boris

Xehalus

my Clippers out of the West pick still alive

I could see the Rockets being an easier series

Dhalphir

In my headcanon that was the 2015 NBA finals

Man the spurs got screwed. If the clock operator doesn't randomly decide to start Kawhi is already being fouled by Griffin. Certainly getting 2 shots, perhaps the and 1.

Also this paves an easy path to the finals for the Warriors, since the Spurs were the only team that really had a shot to take them. Nobody else is nearly deep enough.

Dhalphir

We'll never really know, because Boris didn't throw the first pass before the buzzer went off, and he messed up the second one.

But the Clippers knowing the play didn't force Boris Diaw to throw the second pass off the mark. Even if Kawhi was wide open he would not have caught it, Barnes was the only one who even touched the ball.

Jasconius

yeah Diaw being way off the inbounds softens it a little

either way, I think stuff like that should be a technical foul

Dhalphir

A technical foul on who?

Goose!

A tech for human error seems a little ridiculous.

Dhalphir

Well, also, on who? The timekeepers and statisticians are employed by the NBA, not by the teams. Who do you give the tech to? The Clippers didn't do anything.

Knight_

What actually should have happened was probably an automatic stoppage and officials timeout instead of just resetting instantly and starting the inbound time.

Kinda dumb to make a team give away their play and then force them to run it again because you fucked up.

also seems like it wasn't the timekeeper at all.

Mego Thor

Ugh, how do my teams keep getting stuck with Hubie Brown as an announcer? Go back to Boston, you POS.

Xehalus

if the Wizards win this series I guess I can't be angry

their talent has a higher ceiling and The Truth

SageinaRage

Is it just me or does Teague just not seem very good any more? He seems to be slow and hesitant.

get out

you did not just call Hubie Brown that

get out

Xehalus

Teague rolled his ankle in game 5 and just had a game where he didn't score a point

so him not being at 100% must really effect his game

the other 3 All-Stars need to really step up

Penumbra

I want to see the Grizz win at least one game in this series.

I have no illusion that they'll win the series, but I want them to be competitive at least.

Big Dookie

Looks like Curry is going to win the MVP. No surprise there really. And as much as I wish Harden would have won it, Curry deserves it. What he's done this season is pretty incredible.

There's a near zero chance the Hawks stay that cold shooting the rest of this series.

I think Harden deserves it because the Warriors are 8-9 solid contributors deep and Houston would win like 30 games without Harden.

Balefuego

Curry is what makes the Warriors offense go, everyone around him would be significantly worse without Curry.

Butters

I don't disagree with that but you can easily say the exact same thing about Harden and Houston's roster is not nearly as good. I think Golden State is still a playoff team without Curry.
