The Official NBA Thread: LeBron James signs with the Philadelphia 76ers

[P C H]

Steve Kerr knows better than to ignore all of this and to blame officiating.Warriors style of play is simply not conducive to late game shotmaking and execution. They did not lose the game because of a loose ball foul.

They're so obviously the Jimmy team.

That was a weak call but the real issue is the Warriors had 90 pts with 3:03 left. They ended the game with 90 pts because Steph decided to play hero ball again.

He's been begging for LeBron to save him and tonight may have been one of those moments that will force the FO's hand to make a move.

Rockets defense and athleticism is a problem. Rooting for yall to get that cup.

Houston's defense is outstanding. Impressed.

No one is begging for Lebron. Please be serious.

I don’t like that he took that 3 with 8 or 9 left on the shot clock but it’s steph curry. He got a lot of space and he’s taking a shot he’s hit so many times in his career, you just got to live with it.

 

[freeze]

Refs literally cheated the game away. I can't even believe that. Literally cheated. Unreal.

 

[Peep Game]

Ain’t trying to hear Kerr/Warriors of all people whining about fouls given the previous years. Maybe he should’ve been as active as Udoka was coaching instead of sitting on the bench damn near the entire game like he was waiting in line at the DMV.

 

[freeze]

Udoka coaching was the difference maker? Lol.

 

[freeze]

No foul here huh? Interesting

 

[freeze]

F bill Kennedy

 

[freeze]

Another foul

 

[freeze]

Bum *** bill Kennedy calls a foul instead of the time out is crazy. Shady as hell.

 

[freeze]

Not even mad at curry shot. He got open and was in rhythm. Was it earlier than I'd like, sure, but he knows better than me when the shot feels good. If the game was reffed properly, warriors likely still win. That **** was not why they lost. Giving game winning free throws for a scramble and ignoring blatant fouls right in front of you is why they lost.

 

[superblytrife]

Time to log out and go to sleep, sir.

 

[MajinZuub]

At the end of every weeknight you get freeze’s instagram feed then his self reflection on the warriors game

 

[freeze]

Nahhh we up all night. Furious.

This why I don't debate sports with kids. Their knowledge started with 2008 bron

You need to listen to the whole thing. Whole episode of very good storytelling.

Goes back to the point of young dudes not knowing folks even though this was a wild case of it.

But even still during the episode, Haywood was naming folks from that era and Theo Pinson had NO clue who they were and that would have only been about 10 or so years before he entered the league.

The player in question is Kwame Brown.

Whole episode.

 

[headdetective]

You should know a lil bit of history.

But at the same time, a 60+ year old man going around introducing himself as Dr. J is a bit goofy.

Julius Erving suffices

B Wood cool as hell. Kwame 6 years older than me and ain’t know DJ?

Well we don't know the nature of Kwame learning that he was "Doctor."

He could have introduced himself as Doc.
Someone else could have told him to go talk to Doc.

Who knows.

The "issue" here is the lack of awareness but I get it that not everyone is a student of the game. It is what it is.

But not knowing Dr. J is blasphemy.

That’s wild. There are just some players who might be good at hooping but just don’t read about basketball history. So you get stories like this. DR J was low 50s maybe when this happened. He wasn’t that old lol.

I’ve met Dr.J before and he’s a cool dude. Some of his vehicles a partner car shop maintains for him as well.

He had a cool cameo in the Reggie Jackson Amazon special.

Julius Erving

He’s 74 now so when this happened he lightly just turned 50. He wasn’t the old and he’s pretty recognizable. I mean Dr J looks like Dr J lol. So i’m sure he usually doesn’t have to introduce himself most time.

The man is truly a legend and as nice and cool as anyone on the planet.
