https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/status/861238545947787265 Zach Lowe reporting that Spo/D'Antoni share the first annual NBCA coach of the year award (the one the coaches vote on). It will be pretty interesting if Brad Stevens wins the NBA COTY award now. Would show the difference between how the coaches see each other and the media voters.

Does anyone want another 'Lebron is freaking awesome' stat?NBA.com article posted:TORONTO — LeBron James is the best basketball player in the world, whether he’s shooting well from the perimeter or not. His combination of size, athleticism, skill and intelligence are unmatched. He has shot 71 percent* in the restricted area over his 14-year career and has almost 20,000 career points just from free throws and shots in the paint.

And just a reminder, it exists because the Grateful Dead are awesome. quote:As you probably recall, it was back in 1992 that Sarunas Marciulionis, who came to this country to play guard for the Warriors, decided to attempt to put together a basketball team to represent his newly-independent homeland.

I wish the NBA had officiating or calls called as consistently as NFL. NBA can be the most exciting sport but watching a smaller market team or lesser player is so frustrating. The star will get the foul call for the same play when the younger guy will only get it 40% of the tube This series in a nutshell. DeRozan gets called for a foul on a play he was uppercut kicked in the balls. Refs blow.

Wishing the NBA was officiated like the NFL is probably the worst opinion in this thread in a long rear end time. NFL is awful to watch right now.

Players are stars because they know how to draw fouls.

And I know I sound like the worst type of homer fan. The raps had no chance against a great constructed team with tons of 3 point threats and they best player since Jordan. We played like garbage and deserved to be swept. But a few of these Gabe's we should have only lost by 24 points not 27

DeRozan was #6 in the league in drawing fouls. If anyone's getting reputation calls, it's him.

It's a thing for sure, but mostly it's rookie contract guys getting mugged for no call, or great shooters getting a late whistle on a miss caise "no way he misses that without a foul". Fouling in general is trending down and it's almost never a problem that disturbs my enjoyment of the game. I am a Magic fan fwiw

It's a problem. My point was not that DeRozan ain't getting his calls. It was more the storyline of this series. Everything had gone wrong. So of course he would get a foul for receiving a kick to the nuts DeRozan is top 3 for bs foul calls in the league. That part of the reason I think NBA has a reputation call problem. I see it all the time. Raps had no chance anyways patonthebach fucked around with this message at 22:39 on May 7, 2017 |

DeRozan gets less calls because it's the playoffs and teams face each other minimum 4 times. Coaches prepare specific tactics against players, and every Cavs player is probably told to hang off DeRozan and let him make mistakes when the double team comes instead of trying to body him up aggressively. Playoff games are not about strengths, it's about attacking weaknesses, where it's the opposite in the regular season.

The NFL has pass interference rules that are absolutely awful and hugely game changing more than anything is in the NBA, a persistent, ongoing philosophical debate of what even IS a catch man, even more arbitrary rules about what is and is not reviewable, and punitive rules about basically having any sort of fun on the field. The idea that it's worthy of praise or emulation is insane.
