NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 6

Well, that OKC trade for Jared McCain worked out for them.

He was 7-19 FGAs & 3-5 from the line. Plus, he added a couple of turnovers. You think he had a good game?

Yeah OKC won, but he didn't have anything to do with it!

Might be grading on a curve, but McCain did hit more 3s than Fox, Vassell, and Wemby on essentially quarter of the attempts. There is also the Wemby factor.

Also, this is McCain's FIRST season coming-off an injury and being traded by Philly, the ROOKIE stepped-up on the big stage and didn't shrink like Kon.

Plumlee should be fired for that cheap shot. It was clearly intentional. The Biyombo play looked clean to me.

Might have retribution for this earlier in the game when McCain elbowed Harper https://streamable.com/f2qyc7

That wasn't a cheap shot though. McCain was protecting himself with his off hand - it was a bit of shove perhaps, but they allow that now. It doesn't look like he was headhunting.

The police are banning the Knicks street parties, dunno how they are going to be able to do it.

I'm sure the good people of New York City will heed police warnings and advisements, lol.

It looked kinda intentional to me. Definitely brought the elbow up to head/neck level. And then he egregiously flopped 2 seconds later.

With JDub and Mitchell out McCain is their only reliable ball handler other than SGA. That puts a lot of pressure on him against the big, athletic guards of the Spurs especially when SGA is out of the game.

Excellent point -- nice to see the kid on such a big stage so early in his career....

Looked partially incidental, with Harper maybe hamming up a little on the reaction

Wemby looks locked in, only 90 seconds into the game. The man is going to go off tonight.

Shocking that that was even considered for a flagrant, tbh. Especially with how they've called the rest of this game. SGA has supplanted KAT as my least favorite guy to watch play basketball. KAT has redeemed himself while SGA has embarrassed himself.

Meanwhile, Thunder have hung around despite the Spurs being very fired up and playing very well. Looks like this one will go down to the wire. Going to ruin my work day tomorrow for sure!

Spurs have a lot of talent behind the bench if you catch my drift…

Can’t believe the Spurs got Dylan Harper.

Can’t believe the Spurs got Dylan Harper.

Me either, he'd have looked wonderful with us......

[closg00]

Wemby looks like he is on the verge of flipping the switch to permanent dominance for next 15 years, it's gonna be scary.

Golfy has mused about coming to MSG for an ECF game. I hope he does. I trust the NY crowd to not
hold back from expressing their opinions, in typical NY fashion.

Who do you guys have taking Game 7?

[AFM]

I'm pulling for SAS like probably 95% of the fans, the furor around OKC and flopping has almost jumped the shark for me at this point, but they are clearly the new villains of the NBA, but I think OKC takes it tonight unfortunately.
