Sunday 4/7 NBA Game Thread

[rockmanslim]

Bucks announcers are basically saying the Bucks need a therapist

[Exp0sed]

is Embiid for real? did he really stat pad and jack up shots the Hornets and then ducked Wemby right after?
they need every game now to avoid a play-in spot and avoid the C's in the first

that's your (former) MVP?

He's not playing back to backs so close to the playoffs. I mean, after all the time he's missed, it's not a surprise. He also dropped 70 on Wemby, so I doubt he's afraid to play against him.

[DanEu]

yes he did and Green was fouled on the layup attempt on the next possesion as well

what the league is doing is shameful and unprecedented
since the scoring inflation led to all the backlash, they seem to have decided to run a pilot program from the ASB to the end of the season - not calling a few types of fouls that were called regurlaly and without announcing a rule change, a point of emphasis etc

they just blackballed foul calling haha
offensive ratings were breaking records, since the ASB games have been called league wide in a way that not only cratered those offenses and their offensive ratings but also craterd the free throw rates, which hasn't been this low since the 1950's or something

blatant fouls on drives are just being ignored now and I mean - actual fouls that is, fouls that would have been called in any era

All this, and its made the game so much better and exciting. Its been awesome to watch honestly

I love it, the product itself but the way they're doing it is shameful
they basically adopted Fiba rules but it would have been nice for them to say so to the fans and mostly - to the players

you can't call 2/3 of a season one way and then call the final 3rd categorically and substiantly differently

it's very important in sports to keep things on the up and up, the integrity of the game is crucial

as a viewer I prefer this version alot more, no argument from me there

Exactly this. I like how they are calling the game now. But for the love of god be freaking consistent about it.

How much better would the Mavs be if they had Brunson instead?

Ducking Wemby?

You surely cannot be serious.

[Scoundreldays]

No Lebron today. Great.

I mean the Lakers have been playing great even when he doesn't play

[BigDan245]

The end of this Heat game has lasted an hour

[jym85]

How much better would the Mavs be if they had Brunson instead?

Guess that depends on what other player they could have gotten with that Kyrie trade package to pair with Luka/Brunson
But player for player you have to like Kyrie's ceiling more when he's playing

I think so. He’s not 100% and Wemby would go at his neck.

"Zion attacked that rebound like it's his last meal" Eddie Johnson gahdang

[MrGoat]

The Pacers knew to foul when up 3.

Granted, maybe Udoka was scared of this happening

Watch on YouTube

[Mamba Mentality]

CJ and Alvarado going nuclear. Pels finally caught a break.

[Mamba Mentality]

Spoke too soon, they ran into Beals best game in a month.

[rockmanslim]

Middleton spewing blood

[azcatz11]

Wow he lost some teeth

[Nuntius]

76ers aren't finishiing 7th, they have only one compeitive game remaining (vs the Magic) and they haven't lost a game since Embiid been back and were an elite team when their top guys (and cast) where healthy

Embiid is out tonight...

I see, they'd probably beat the Spurs anyway but def an opening for a loss there
also tbh, Indy has only one real game left as well, Cavs in Cleveland. whose got the tie-breaker between those two?

The Pacers and the Cavs have faced off 3 times this year and, so far, Indy is leading the series 2-1. Indy has also won their season series against Miami, Philly and New York (all of them 2-1). They also won the season series against Milwaukee (3-1, would have been 4-1 if the IST knockouts counted but it doesn't count) but they lost their season series to Orlando (2-1) and Boston (3-1, would have been 3-2 if the IST knockouts counted but, again, it doesn't count).

Nurk stole CJ's rock

[rockmanslim]

Zion went full Teen Wolf on that sequence holy
