Yo wtf. I turn off the game before 2nd half thinking it was done. Now a 2 pt game? Lol

I just feel like basketball fans have to realize officiating is not consistent and depending on how a game is called can either benefit your team or hurt them.

Unfortunately, this is pretty much understood, which is why the NBA isn't giving us the best product it can. It's ridiculous.

 

[diplomat 1]

Understood, but the way the game has become completely a non contact sport is just disgusting. All the power and strength the nba used to showcase has been tossed out the window. We get more charges and flops per game than rebounds and dunks

All the rule changes Stern made are "for the better of the game" 

 Real reason is because he want the game to be more offensive driven so people come and watch the games and that makes more revenue and that makes more money for Stern.

it is what it is. hard to see it ever going in the other direction

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

so much for the lead

 

[imlive365]

OKC just doesn't have enough.

 

[jordan23dotcom]

OKC just needs to hurry up and lose this and the next game and call it a day. Take the time and make correct personnel changes

 

[finallyfamous]

Durant needs to take this game over or he can kiss another year of his career goodbye

No way they win 3 straight

 

[duba169]

even when fisher misses it goes in

 

[victor page]

Snatched the hell out of Pondexter

 

[Humbled]

Hope Memphis pulls this one out, **** Durant.

I think it's more so to protect the stars. It's no secret that stars get "star calls" and it's done intentionally. Think of it like the nfl's rules to protect the quarterbacks. Now it's just being used and abused to the point where flops are common practice. These players have no self respect to take a hit like a man. They'd rather fall to the ground and cry as if they became an instant paraplegic or something. Back in the day, you hit the ground, you're a *****

How is the defensive player of the year on the second all defense team?

How is the defensive player of the year on the second all defense team?

NBA coaches vote for who is on the all-defensive teams, while the media outlets vote for the DPOY award

 

[8pm at msg]

No one told him Conley was coming

 

[datznasty]

LoL. Foul on Martin?

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Kevin Martin just gets blown up in that collision 

 

[awwsome]

Reggie out here working

 

[jordan23dotcom]

How's that a foul on anyone? There was no possession and they both ran into each other unknowingly
