Lillard vs Gobert...



I thought Portland really had a gem in Lillard, but with the defensive identity we are able to establish now with Gobert, I really think we have a stronger team with him.

Golden state will have at least a week off. If we close out the series on Friday, we could start the next series on Monday. That might not be bad since the warriors could be rusty. If we go to game 7 on Sunday, I'm guessing we start the series on Tuesday. I think the difference between two days rest and preparation and 1 day could be significant.

I don't think we have a realistic chance at beating GSW, unless they lose one of their top players. And even then, it'd be hard.

I'll be happy if we make it to the second round and give GSW a respectable series. I'll have a heart attack if the Jazz upset the Warriors.

It might break the internet....

They all do it.

The shorter you are and the more star power you have the more you get away with. It's been that way for decades.

Its so hard to call carry with how well these dudes dribble.

I've never noticed it but he does travel or carry literally every move. Makes me not like him even more.

some are so blatant when he basically picks it up and takes a few steps.

MJ was the first dude i remember seeing do it a lot in his crossover, been happening forever. Ideally you'd like something to be done but very hard to police

I think some clear guideline is needed for policing.


Like in the Isaiah's example, if your hand is under the ball when you're dribbling, I think that should be automatically called a carry. At least let's start there.

LOL ... the officiating in this OKC - HOU game is atrocious, and that's putting it mildly.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm so glad one of these teams won't make it to the 2nd round

It's easy to shine when you have Westbrook AND Durant on your team.

 

[NAOS]

What I've seen of this Hou-OKC series has been almost unwatchable. I hate these offenses and all the ****ing free throws.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This game is giving me cancer.
