Going to game 2 tomorrow!

I'm going tomorrow as well. What kind of seats you got?

When have Zach Lowe or Nate Duncan ever taken a stepback 3?

I want the detailed analysis of Chris Webber or Nate Robinson on this. Guys who actually played the game.

Honestly there's so much merit to having played the game at a certain level to comment on certain things. Stuff such as for a right handed player generally it's easier to pull up off the dribble from your left hand, or when players who aren't great 3 point shooters are much more comfortable taking a step inside the 3 even though it's just a tiny step.

Some of these dudes who just write for a living and never played ball well enough just annoys the **** out of me. It's like me reading every book about MMA but never trained a day in my life. You got to do it to know the detail behind it

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

what is the deal with him? is he really hurt or just indirectly saying he wants to get traded

The way parker and ginoboli talking he might want out

I remember Monte McCutchen came to one of my classes in college years back (discussion that day was on power dynamics in sports or something I think) and he was saying that after every game they go back re-watch the whole game and essentially peer-review the whole crew and all the calls the other refs made. I think he threw out some stat like they have a 97% - 98% success rate.

It was a small class and a friend of mine in the class was/is a huge LeBron hater, this was right after he joined Miami, made a very audible scoff and Monte asked if he disagreed and my boy asked if he could pull up youtube

Yeah with the **** you see I don't see how the refs have ever given me a reason that I should take their word for it no matter what lol. The players have been dictating the rules for years not the refs.

I'll just leave this here.

harden a funny dude man...bet he keep that locker room cracking up.

 

[youngthundercat]

i know a ref in Atlanta that does SEC games and he hangs with a couple NBA ref guys...says it a known fact people aint paying money to watch refs control the game. Stars bring the money out not refs.

another thing kahwi would be a gotdamn idiot to come back in the playoffs...he should sit out and remind them fools how much they really need him. i would make sure im a 1000% healthy if i was him.

some of y'all need to quit y'all day jobs and apply to be an NBA ref. they pay like 300k or something.

300k to be a ref? What do you have to do to become an NBA ret? I'll quit my job now.

Facts...

That’s a lotta money. You get the off-season to chill and go on vacay too.

These dudes living the life

 

[change the name Snyder]

Are they lawyers and doctors during the off-season like nfl refs?

 

[hardens beard]

Dudes want to change the way the game has been called for decades because they don't have any ground to stand on when it comes to their garbage arguments.

or just want simple violations enforced that should of always been enforced. It's so horrible to want violations enforced I guess

NBA refs get paid very good money too. Entry level ref starts at $150,000

 

[noblekane]

[Lovetohate3000]

I would love to see the cavs get bounced in the first round I wasn’t even going to watch that series I will now though

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You basically have to be a **** to want to be an NBA ref tho. Couldn't pay me enough to get publically shamed and emasculated on a nightly basis

 

[trynafeelmink]

Man i Just need GS to handle their business to set everything up to the way it's supposed to be next season.

1) They convincingly Get rid of the Rockets
2) Lebron & his fans now have the narrative that the Rockets need saving & moar help so he signs their
3) Pg realizes that OKC stands no chance & he goes to L.A to be joined by the Westworld version of Kawhi & team ALA starts blasting conspiracy theories & shredding their shirts Simultaneously.
