League needs to do something about the blatant fouls that are not part of the play (Adams running the floor and fouled, Adams stands in the corner and two players jump him and foul etc, ball is nowhere near him and he isn't part of the play)
If it is an automatic flagrant or clear-path foul teams will stop this nonsense

Or could make your free throws. It's not that hard.

In FIBA, if you do the hack an Adams, that's 2 FTs and possession of the ball.

The NBA should adopt that rule.

Ime is a helluva coach, especially with reaching young players and getting them to play like vets. I like Joe a lot but we probably missed out on a title due to the chaos that Ime caused. Ime had that team ready to win it all. In the end it worked out for the best.

Ime relies heavily on vets.

They have the #3 pick of 2024 and Ime will not use him.

Thompson is really the only young player Ime uses a lot.

Guys like Jalen Green are considered vets.

I can’t believe Ime wanted to draft Sheppard.

Castle or Holland on the Rockets and they’re getting big minutes under Ime.

Nuggets/Clippers looks like it'll go down to the wire.

Obviously Denver at home for game 7 would be my pick. But Kawhi is so d*** Good that, if this game is really, really close, he can pull off the upset

Has there ever been a player who can help you and hurt you so much all in one game like russell Westbrook?

Looks like Clips are cooked.

As usual, Ty Lue offense relying on 1 on 1 talent.

Those back to back plays by Gordon were very impressive.

Clips may lose by 30 tonight

Nuggets a better challenge than the clippers to the thunder.

The Clippers could've used Paul George... to podcast about their demise.

ConstableGeneva · Post #513 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun May 4, 2025 1:12 am

Ty Lue overrated once again since we blame the coach when teams lose. How can you get out coached by an assistant??! You have Kawhi and Harden!

Kelly Dwyer in his series preview:

Al Horford – the first time he played the Knicks, Al guarded Eddy Curry.

If Denver can split the first 2 on the road against the OKC, you never know. If you have Jokic, you have a chance, no matter what.

ConstableGeneva · Post #516 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun May 4, 2025 1:16 am

Harden has at least three more postseasons in him. Rooting for you, James, to surpass Karl Malone.

Horford grateful he got off this list last June.

So Ty Lue is proven to be another Doc Rivers type of coach. He managed to ride a title on the backs of prime Lebron and Kyrie and a nice assist from Draymond idiot Green.

But hey the players love him right??

It's like he is just sitting there like a fan in the front row. Watching everything and not saying shet..

Maybe 40

Can't believe the Clips have been in the NBA for 55 years and they have not gotten to the WCF.

Not once!

They were there in 2021, lost to the Suns.
