I'm young, so I have a scant memory on this front-- is Niang/Bradley a worse defensive duo than Boozer/Okur?

Good question and I don't know but Boozer and Okur were miles ahead offensively.

Probably. Hard to tell really. During those days, there were still traditional big men and post up offenses. Now, everything is fast, athletic, cutting, iso, etc. They probably would have been exposed in today's game.

Lebron did that exact same thing to Royce. Bull ****.

Classic Lebron flop.

 

[DasJazz]

If that was Lebron vs Royce it would've been a defensive foul.

if quin had stones he'd put in lebron-stopper jarrell brantley but obvs he puts joe ingles on him

It already happened earlier and wasn't called. Royce just didn't flop he took it to the chin.

The league ain't ready yet. Keep him fresh for a deep playoff run.

Lebron and Caruso need to accept that they are both balding pretty badly and just shave the rest of their heads. They both look ridiculous.

did Jawun Morgan just get playing time? and did he just hit a three?

Howard fouled Morgan clearly

Davis pushed off Gobert too.

 

[Eminence]

Hey, Morgan, I like it. Not sure why we're going to the zone though, looks like crap.

Zones at stretches can be very effective. Our zone is just standing at a spot.

 

[DasJazz]

That's not a foul on Davis. Preferential treatment by the refs a bit here.

 

[SojoDave]

This is what happens when you don't have a power forward. Davis is going to kill us.

 

[Hekate]

Now that was stupid.

 

[LoPo]

There's that other thread about quiting the NBA. Watching how this game is being reffed is another reason why people stop watching. This game has been so clearly called for the star team its disgusting. The league has kept LA in this game.

I'm going be a whiny bitch here but Donovan Mitchell does not get these same calls.
