He got the body. Barely. Fine with either call or no call there. It’s legitimately 50/50

Yea I’m on the fence. Sucky answer. Welcome to the world of close calls.

Would this call be made if Curry was Tyus Jones and Poeltl was LeBron James?

And they got it right. That’s the most important thing.

DeRozan was out, but KD also kicked the ball earlier and that didn't get called.

Maybe.

Tyus Jones is small. Lebron is big. I know what you are getting at with star power, but I also think there is a bias with smaller players getting hit.

It’s why Lebron doesn’t lead the league in FTA as he should have every year he has been in the league.

Like, the image isn't great so is KD's hands actually touching the ball? From this pic it looks like he is but you never know.

If they are, LOL at the refs and the Raptors should protest

No, this is the issue. The referees follow a very very strict protocol for these reviews in order not to open a can of worms and set a bad precedent.
They are reviewing their initial call that curry hit it out. If they now decide to review the 1-2 seconds before it, then technically they should also review the baseline scramble where durant may have stepped out when his other foot touched it etc.
And technically, if they can review 2 seconds before the out of bounds, they can review the entire play.

There's a reason refs have had to deal with teams getting mad at them for not reversing stuff like this, it's because they aren't allowed. I'm not upset, but Cuban is right, doing this goes exactly against the protocol that is there to protect them.

ok so I stopped reading as we devolve into nitpicking a call or two. That was one of my favorite games this year. Warriors were damn near perfect in the first half with their ball movement. Raptors were damn near perfect in the second half. Sorry someone had to lose.

Every year I am hopefully that someone other than Cleveland comes out of the east. This might be the year between Toronto and Boston. Just hope they all land where Cleveland has to play both teams. Hell even Indiana might beat them LOL

Nothing is guaranteed but hope my Warriors make it back and if I were granted a wish, Toronto would be there as well. We've won the last 8 I think but you always play us tough. Will be interesting to see if anybody makes any moves.

Carry on with the "discussion"

OKC is certainly disappointing but Nugs are good. I don't recall anyone hyping the Pels. IIRC, just as many people were predicting Boogie/Brow would collapse spectacularly than predicting they would be good. They appear to be somewhere in the middle.

It's not a kick ball if it's inadvertent.

At the end of the day show up at the start of the game and play that amazing D in both halves and you pull out the win.

Y'all are nuts though cuz he is always double teamed throughout the playoffs and he has still had HUGE games for us in the playoffs. Also against brooklyn he was better in the playoffs than regular season.

Anyway, demar is gonna slap these playoffs and then all y'all will act like you were right all along. wack
Soon as Lebron gets on the court him and Lowry will freeze up

Huh? DeMar, outside of 2 games, is just **** dandy against the Cavs in the playoffs. In fact, he was pretty damn good. Kyle, also, was good against the Cavs.
That's the issue with following narratives and not truths. Yeah, they struggle to shoot in the playoffs, but the Cavs are actually the least of my concerns with DeMar and Kyle's offence specifically. Stopping the cavs from scoring is what has been impossible for us.

I'd be willing to bet that you're so ignorant on the subject that you don't even know that Lowry didn't play two of the 4 games we played vs the cavs last year.
