Sure, but I don't believe he gambled on his own games. He bet on other games based on how he knew the officials' tendencies and behind-the-scenes info (official biases against certain players or teams).
The NBA I'm sure didn't send a pile of cash to get that outcome either.
What? It's a greater indictment to the NBA that he didn't gamble on his own games and still raked it in betting on other games. It would be in their interest that the issue be contained to something as simple as one ref fixing games (which it wasn't).
Only way it happens is by moving Joe and Dante (contractually). But it’s a very interesting point, even if everyone hates the idea. We can talk about boxing out, but everyone not named Gobert is poor rebounding, not just in general but for their position, for their entire careers. Nobody even rebounds well compared to SFs. If Gobert contests a shot, there’s nobody there for a rebound. Talk about boxing out all you want, you’re either a rebounder or you’re not. As much as people act like Love would be a defensive sieve, it’s important to look at what not securing defensive boards costs.
While I somewhat agree, this is 100% on the lack of effort right now. We are standing around watching, waiting for the ball to come down or for someone else to get it. One of the biggest moments of the game was Lou Williams getting a board and it was 100% him putting in the effort.
