Morris didn't kick his leg out. He jumped up to take the shot. Love came flying in and their legs tangled.

Legs can't get tangled if the leg isn't kicked out. As I've said, Morris's leg was out, they just showed the replay. Love was contesting sideways.

That was a bad call. Morris barely kicked out and Love was flying to him without even being position to defend in first case. That should have been a non call atleast. That is different from defender being on your hip and kicking out, the defender was in no position to really stop that shot.

Love was flying by him not at him. The rule now is you can't kick your leg out as far as I know, the case you're presenting is different. Stopping a shot isn't the barometer for whether that's a foul. Love was contesting the shot, sideways, and got tripped up by Morris's leg out. It's the latter that is the violation, though it doesn't often get called.

For the Cavs - forces Tristan to get more minutes which negates any benefit we had with Horford.

What type of genius is Stevens if he can't adjust to the pick and roll switch they're putting Rozier in on every play?

The only reason they made any contact at all is because Morris kicked his leg out.


He didn’t kick his leg out st all.


What would even be considered as a kick? A lot of times when you pull up for a jumpshot one legs going to inevitably shift forwards more than the other leg depending on your J.

I know when I pull up or spot up my right leg will shift forwards moreso than my left leg. Does that count as a kick every time?

I really Dont want to hear it before kd went to the warriors you could argue that lebron has been on the most talented team in the nab for a good 6 years but his fan boys love to blame the team


So he was on the most talented team before, and now he's not. What's your point?


My point is he is still on a top 3 most talented team for about 8 years straight but yet he has an excuse for every finals loss


Cavs might be top 3 most talented with LeBron, but without him that's a 25 win team. Compare that to Warriors where they're a 55+ win team even without Curry or Durant. Night and day.

One of the worst 3pt foul calls I've ever seen in my life for sure

Yeah, I mean they only ever call it when they blatantly stick a leg out for contact.

Rozier is a beast. Not letting the switches affect him mentally. Still going hard on O. Not getting down on himself for being switched on all game.
