The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized

Think the difference right now is Luka looking hampered.

He hasn't looked right all playoffs, which sucks.

The glass half full I guess is the team finally finding ways not to exclusively rely upon him.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

This got me down a rabbit hole of trying to find a generic nba hat. They are out there but it took a lot of looking.

How can the refs be so different from one game to the next? Isn't this supposed to be a professional sport?

These feel like mostly fair whistles to me, the Mavs just got frazzled with the Thunder seeking out contact and aren't playing defense well.

Think the Mavs are in a similar spot as the Nuggets with just being beat-up. Honestly, just glad this team can put up this much of a fight with Luka playing this badly.

Series ain't over, obviously, it's just Game 1, but just feels like OKC is better conditioned and playing better basketball. (And is better coached, oh nooooo.)

Maybe they are, but I've seen 1000 plays this playoffs with more contact that are not called. I really don't care foul or not, I care about consistency. A foul in one game should be a foul in another.

Thunder are - in free throw differential on the season despite leading with drives at the rim by a wide margin, Tony brothers finally took notice

I think I'm just still reeling from how absolutely dogshit the NCAA reffing this year, so this reffing seems like a breeze in comparison. You can actually get called a foul called on you for mauling someone under the basket? They don't reward offensive fouls to the most phantom of the contacts? It's like paradise, it actually approaches something close to sense.

I'm gonna disagree with this. I've seen both this game, phantom contact fouls and guys getting hit in the face and it not getting called.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
So what is the actual rule for hitting a guy in the nuts. I've seen ones exactly like this season where they determine its a foul even if it wasn't exaggerating a kicking move. And then others where it really looked like they kicked and its not a foul. I feel like it should just always be handled like the way they just did. Tech on the foot action.
