NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 3

Yeah did not look good for Love. Very irresponsible and reckless actions by Olynyk

[pineappleheadindc]

Punk move by Perkins.

Yet another reason why Cleveland is probably the least likable team in the NBA.

[Benjammin]

Cavs better get the Queen out of the game because if I'm the Celtics I'd take several runs at him after this BS.

[Illmatic12]

Did anyone actually expect JR Smith to make it through a whole season without losing it

Bulls have to take Game 1 then without Smith (definite suspesnion at least 1 game) and Love

It appeared to me that Olynyk did that on purpose.

Perkins should have been ejected.

[Benjammin]

I'll have to watch it again to make an opinion as to his intent, fwiw.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

The poke by Perkins to the face of Crowder should have been an ejection.

JR Smith is such a turd

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Boston is at least making it interesting.

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Boston is losing by missing free throws. This should be a 5 or 6 point game.

I don't think he tried to hurt Love. He was just clumsy and over-aggressive trying to get the rebound.

JR Smith otoh... just a pathetic punk move on his part - deserving of a significant suspension.

I missed the Perkins thing, but at this point in his career, is there a reason to play him other than for him being a thug?

Nope. They clearly sent Perkins in for retaliation

Shocking that he wasn't ejected at the time, because it was clearly a retaliation move (and he went after the wrong guy? What did Crowder do)

[dobrojim]

The Bulls just lost to a Jerryd Bayless layup.

That was a brilliant play call by Jason Kidd.

Predicting that CHI would be overly aggressive and calling a backdoor was brilliant.

[pineappleheadindc]

I cannot think of an NBA franchise who has purposefully tried to aggregate the biggest collection of unlikable players as has Cleveland. And, weak-minded readers who may say it, this is not bout "Lebron hate". No, it's about having J.R. Smith, Perkins, and Kyrie on the court at the same time. In fact, Lebron is one of the few likable players on the Cavs. Think about that.

I hope Chicago destroys them. And if the Bulls can't do it, I hope the Wizards do in the ECF.

Well Love did locked him up with an arm lock under the basket just seconds before. I think KO was just doing the same back and it didn't turn out well for Love. Nothing intentional I don't believe. More like he was caught up n the battle.

Now what JR Smith did ... dude is going to be suspended for a while I suspect. Pretty sure he did that with a closed fist.

Real nasty game.

Bottom line. CLE walked out without Love and JR Smith.. and that will hurt. CHI stands a much better chance now.

WIZ TO ECF

You mean Chris *Fall*.

Run purposefully into someone, then fall down as if you were shot, and get the call.

Looking at this pic, it certainly appears to be intentional:



Olynyk has Love's arm in a vice grip there. I've never heard of KO being a bad guy but that was a bush league move
