Re: Tuesday 3/11 NBA Game Thread
Dont know about anyone else but i **** love watching Zion play basketball. Dude is so dominant. And in a league where even the centers play outside it's a breath of fresh air seeing Zion dominate from the inside out.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

The egregious thing was using the last timeout on a challenge. It's not the coaches fault that Dame couldn't get open.
Wrong! It's always the coach's fault if the star player doesn't get open on the final shot.
The Bucks had enough time to draw up a play on the sideline, but they didn't.
Doc just had Dame come to the ball like the Pacers weren't going to double-team him, which is bad coaching!

From what I've read, Dame was hurt.

Jenny Bocek is responsible. Against the Celtics in the playoffs last year it got Aaron Nesmith a wide open look he missed to win the game.
Tyrese drilled it. He's been so clutch ALL year, even when he wasn't playing well.
So no foul...
Fake call decides game.
Yay NBA.

Isn't that easier to do when you rarely play?

Nothing can illustrate the type of player Kuzma is better than his -18 when the rest of the starters ranged from +4 to +16
The Bucks were such a serious organization leading up to their title run. They’ve completely shut it down since.

He just needs to stay healthy somehow. I need to see him in the playoffs for once.

So Ben Simmons is already out for the Clippers? This guy is basically being asked to play limited minutes.

Have no idea who asked for this, but prime example of catering to idiots.
But maybe I am too harsh, Maybe 5 year old Jimmy is huge CAVS fan, but he cant do basic math yet.

SImilar play happened in Euroleague maybe a year ago, but if I remember it went to OT, cause the team was down by 4. Monaco was down vs Real, they inbouned to open Mike James, Tavares desperately tried to close out and fouled James when he made the 3. The fact they were up 4 I believe, made that defensive play so much dumber, basically the only time Tavares tried to guard anything 15 feet out...

Is there a different angle? Those angles definitely don't suggest it wasn't close

Yea, up 4 is nonsensical, at least here he is trying to prevent a tie
