2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Players' wives need to seriously STFU.

 

Kyrie Irving had the game of his life. LeBron played like he should all of the time. Of the two, I'd say the latter happens in Game 6. If it doesn't, Warriors win. If it does, Game 7.

 

That guy is great, what an asswipe. Think maybe he had Warriors in 5?

 

Jordan has two wives to whine on his behalf.

 

The "logic" he used didn't even make sense, acting like Green got suspended solely for hitting James and got no punishment for hitting Adams. While Green should also have been suspended against OKC, they did upgrade it flagrant 2, which was the reason Green was one flagrant away from being suspended.

 

Green is going to have to be careful Thursday too. He goes over the line a lot. And flagrant points don't reset, so if he just happens to accidentally run into another guy's junk again, he might miss Game 7.

I expect the Cavs to goad him on every possession.

 

This. I fully understand a former NBA ref being a douchebag human being. But I'd think a former NBA ref would at least grasp the rules and procedure underlying the decision.

And, btw, isn't it rather galling that fucking Tim Donaghy has become a go to source that reporters run to whenever one of these situations arise? Kinda reminds of how Fox News decided that Mark Fuhrman would be its resident "expert" on police procedural stuff. Yeah, let's pick a guy notorious for being an utterly contemptible member of the profession to be the one to tell us how it works...

 

Good thing Twitter wasn't around when Doug Christie played.

 

Does raise the accountability question, though. Not just in the Green case, but there's been a few incidents the NBA has gone in and cleaned up the next day, or the LTM report has indicated missed calls. Og course the union's response is for the league to stop releasing the LTM report. But is there a procedure for to deal with errant officials. Can they be fined, fired, sent to the D League or college?

 

Man, you're sounding more ridiculous with every post. It doesn't raise a single fucking accountability question to have the MVP's wife dogging out the refs at a time when he is playing like absolute horseshit.

Refs miss calls. Last night they happened to hurt the Cavs a lot more than they hurt the Warriors, but Cleveland overcame it.

This is the pathology I'm talking about. Warriors fans really, truly believe the NBA is trying to take this series away from them.

 

Your feelings if LeBrons wife had done this?
