The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Well at least we’ll get one more game. Been a great series despite the lopsided result.

lol @ Naz Reid not getting that and-1 after everything they've given Luka.

Right? I came here just to post about that. Looked like an obvious and 1 call. Would’ve been a flagrant had it been Luka scoring.

Can't believe they called this in the clutch moments of a playoff closeout game to foul a player out

Didn't think Minny could win a game where both KAT and Gobert got zero offensive rebounds

 

[Douchebag K]

Reggie non stop bitching about Rudy in drop and not pointing out Naz getting blown by on a close out on DJJ as the primary defensive breakdown is the essence of the Gobert discourse

and then the next play they force a turnover with the same approach and crickets ..

Would be very on brand for Minny to fight their way back into the series. Win a home game and some pressure shifts over to Dallas.

It's just insane to me how dumb people are when it comes to Gobert. This **** needs to be studied in psychology books

You don't think the defensive standard should be higher for a 4 time Defensive of the Year recipient?

At the most basic level of understanding basketball, Minnesota has lost 3/4 games yet Gobert is a +17 for the series. When he’s on the floor they outscore the other team damn near every game.

Wasn’t Reggie referring to a specific play?

I’m just talking in general because the discourse has gone too far. When Rudy is on the court they outscore the other team. That is the object of the game and he’s damn good at contributing to it.

 

[Douchebag K]

very few mentions of how devastatingly effective Rudy's screens are esp getting Ant free

 

[Agent#00]

Last 2 3 pt shot of kat was huge. Good for him. Kyrie and luka struggled. Still dont think minny gets a game 7

His defense worked that possession... Just don't let a mediocre shooter get a blow by going middle off the baseline....

They call that a foul quite often unfortunately. I dont think they should award that type of foul baiting. Its consistent though. Offensive player pump fakes, defensive player leaves his feet, offensive player jumps into the defender, foul gets called. I see it all the time and dislike it every time.

I can’t listen to the commentary on games anymore. The way the NBA is covered is complete trash and is all about “exposing”. If a player in a switch gives up a single basket it’s “exposing” and they won’t shut up about it. Gobert obviously has it the worst, but they did the same for Horford. A defender can concede 1/10000 shooting…..but that one time he gives up a basket they’re going to go “OMG HES GETTING EXPOSED THEYRE TARGETING HIM!!!!!!”. Doesn’t even matter if the offensive player is an all time great. The instant you give up a basket you’re unplayable.

No, they have mostly stopped calling these. They put it in the rules to prevent these types of fouls on "unnatural shooting motions"

I would forgive them if Reggie and others were at least entertaining. Like Mark Jackson was generally wrong but was mildly entertaining at least. How Reggie has gotten to where he is is beyond me. Perkins is a clown but he says funny stuff and no one should ever take him serious... but he's entertaining. its when they are wrong and annoying and unfunny... like we can do better. They need to bring in more RJ, Candace Parker, etc. that are both funny and generally not dumb.

I'm old, so I just wish they'd go back to one person calling the games and just telling us what's going on out on the floor.
