Iggi bike, farewell Tien-- Around the World, NBA PLAYOFFS

Hate hate hate hate reviews on a ball being knocked off Bookers hand.

JVG is right, in live action that's 100% Suns ball, and it's called that way in non-reviewable situations. On slow motion replay it's 100% gets off a dribbler's hand. It's just technicality and takes away from the game. Nice play to stop the play, but to gain a game changing possession like that is cheat and deflating for general basketball fans.

Yes. That was just awful to watch being reviewed. The last couple minutes of the game took like an hour with all the awful reviews. So tedious.

I’m confused, we ask officials make sure to get the calls right or their blind and not doing their job. But when they take the time to review stuff to get it right, we complain about them trying to get it right? And they absolutely got it right, that’s not the first time that has happened either…

I hate it every time. Do we get upset about that call (being Suns ball) in live action? I don't even question that. If that was the Heat defender doing that to Booker, I'd be perfectly fine with not reviewing it. It's just natural basketball play.

But I understand that they are just going by the rules and everything is about technicality when it comes to reviews. There are a lot of other things that don't make much sense in current NAB rules, it is what it is.

If we see that in live action that it touches Book last then absolutely. I get that it slows games down and all that jazz but at the end of the day, we preach accountability with refs every game a season but now people want them to look the other way? That’s why they review stuff like that in the last two minutes, Bev knew what he was doing and got it right. Hell, great game nonetheless. I’m not going to let them reviewing stuff ruin that, except for trying to figure out who should be on the floor with that last play. Chit like that, all players stay on the court.

Boogie sucked defending that inbound pass too, gave Jae a clean alley to DA.

You can't see that play in live action. It's impossible. That was like 1/1000s slow motion that got it right. It's 100% Suns ball in live action because it's always been called that way. So that was the play 100% Suns ball 46 mins out of 48 mins but we wanna make sure it's called right only last 2 mins? That accomplishes accountability?

I'm not a huge fan of reviews in general. But yeah, in a close game like this and NBA chip is on the line.. yeah.. I suppose we want to be 100% accurate even only the last 4% of the whole game.

can't stand the guy but he's a damn good pesky defender. must be loved by all clipp fans and hated by all non clippers fans.

[Bourne85]

There goes Crowder doing all the.......ah why bother, we get it. Riley, just retire man. Take off just like Ainge.

Eat my dust Goph

I’ve been posting for four years and I get unranked but that creature that only posts about pokemon and beno gets on the list?

If you post 10 pokemon and beno posts per day, you might just get on my level one day, champ!

[Chalm Down]

Killa Kam! Good for him

Agreed. Kaminsky looking good cheering on his teammates on the bench.

Suns are playing beautiful basketball. Booker is a pure assassin.
Playoff P gonna get all the arrows and rightfully so. Dude shot 50% from the line and chock the last 2 FT. Its safe to say the Suns will win the series. They too good and without Kawhi the Clippers can't win them 4 out of 5 games. Not gonna happen.
I'll root for them to win it all, over the Bucks.
CP3 really deserve to win one man.. Great playoffs

[AirP.]

Just an incredible pass that barely misses hitting the backboard.

we've seen this kind of pass hitting the side/back of the back board all the time. Truly incredible pass.

he was bricking (0/3 2pts) in the game too. jae is a gamer

[RexBoyWonder]

Bosh is right. Bam needs to turn into a stretch 4 and Spo needs to stick with that.

But How? When was Bam a 4 ever?

Is a legit shooter? he's not trying 3's. Hesitant on long 2's. He's not really driving into the paint from outside either.

You put him a 4 next to an old-school 5 and your spacing and offense just comes to an halt, especially with non shooting Jimmy there.

I agree with you. It’s wishhful thinking on my part and Bosh’s for that matter. Bam is a Center. Would be nice to get at very least another 6’9 and up athletic 4 at very least to play next to him that can stretch.

He's coming Pandafriend

So Bam is an undersized non-shooting center who needs a stud shooting 4 to function properly. Jimmy is the new Pandemic P and we're banking on KZ Okape to come through?

[carnageta]

'Bum ass' Crowder with another winning play.

Might be the best 3-d role player remaining in the yoffs'

I sometimes wonder if Okpala’s biggest fans actually watched him really play . On a side note i would hope for our 6’9 and up athletic stretch 4 weighs more then 230 pounds to bang down low. Jae Crowder even though only 6’6 is able to play the 4 well with his Joe Booty/Barkley/Tucker stout build. Okpala though listed at 215 looks like he’s a buck ninety wet.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Achuiwa is the prototype size you want next to Bam but his skill set right now is more Bismack Bimbi
