2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

I'm reminded of an ex who loved watching Nancy Grace and, every now and then, Robin Ficker would do a guest shot. And all I could think (besides what the hell was I doing watching Nancy Grace) was, same guy who used to heckle Jordan.

 

Flopping is one thing, LeBron just treated the world to blatant lying and cheating. Exaggerating is flopping. James just made it up. He's nothing more than a spoiled child.

No one will call him on it other than to praise his gamesmanship

 

I didn't watch until the fourth for Dick Whitman reasons. Is Love hurt? Where was he?

 

Not hurt. Just sucked.

 

Treadmill or tight little figure?

 

That strikes me as shitty coaching. You're not going to let him shoot his way out of it when you can hide him on Biyombo at the other end and it's not a must-win anyway? Now you've lost a game and damaged Love's confidence. If ever there were a team that could throw away a game for the bigger picture, it's these Cavs against these Raptors.

And Donnie, tight little figure. It was glorious.

 

I know we are the storytellers, not the story, but this time it works.

Trading places: Warriors' Harrison Barnes investigates Marcus Thompson's Oakland roots

 

Wow, fans chanting "Kick him out" after Green kicks Adams in the nuts on a drive to the hoop.

Only a flagrant 1. Think the Warriors dodged a bullet there. It was blatant.

 

Warriors are in big time trouble in this series.

 

For the life of me, I don't understand how that is a flagrant 1. Either you think it was inadvertent, in which case it seems like it should be a common foul, or it was intentional, which should be an ejection. (And to me, that was an ejection.)

And yes, the Warriors are in deep shit. They're getting totally outworked.

 

That is a 2 game suspension. Filthy play.
