its funny that delly is on the kings since he was pretty much the first Annoy Curry After Every Make guy, just bumping him all the way down the court in the first cavs/warriors series. also generally the best fix to massive ball pressure is to just pass it to another good playmaker, like how the spurs decimated the heat in their last finals matchup by just waiting for a trap and then chucking it to boris diaw. i wonder if the warriors have a big donkey looking doofus who knows how 2 pass on their team hrrm

It's interesting because the general thought is that you can't run a halfcourt trap in the NBA but that's pretty much this becomes, partly because the screener basically becomes another obstacle.

Which seems dumb, but also dumb for visiting players to take that route during a heated playoff game, and also dumb for this dude to mouth off as Russ walked through, and also dumb for Russ to get in his face.

Rick posted:They should just watch the video where Metta World Peace has his friends run into him full speed and doesn't move to prove that charges are fake and simply only call a charge if it would knock MWP down. There was a period where Jeremy Lin was also proving charges were fake. Dennis Rodman could also plant his foot into the ground like a fence post and even Shaq at the height of his powers was helpless. Fast Luck posted:...they’re trying to protect the basket solely by being some sort of crotch-protecting traffic cone getting bowled over.

Marc Spears sounds ridiculous on the Lowe Post today. I really do not understand the NBA Media hive who are peddling the line that "Anyone would have done exactly what Draymond did when your leg is grabbed." Am I insane for thinking 90 percent of the NBA would not have done that! Spears also uses the analogy that the NBA has "let their kid run wild but now all of a sudden you want to discipline him real strong" and so its the reaction from the league is over reaching. Spears: "Beat the champs fair and square." soggybagel fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Apr 20, 2023 |

Every NBA player grabs people’s junk, kicks their junk, stomps on people on the ground, looks like a donkey, and punches their teammates. Maybe try watching more games?

Doltos posted:https://streamable.com/73a4w3 This is the worst. Before the series they were wondering if the Kings could handle playoff physicality, then before game 2 they were praising the physical play, and now all of a sudden Sabonis is the dirty player and the crowd is influencing the refs. And I’m sick of the “beat them fair and square” “asterisk” narrative. You play the team in front of you. Don’t commit a heinous flagrant 2 and get suspended. Don’t win all of your rings against injury decimated teams and then complain that a habitual line stomper did what he always does and wrote checks his teammates have to cash. Series ain’t over yet.

to be fair the Kings never played like this in the regular season and still may not for the rest of the series but it's all been a bunch of "Draymond will get in their head and disrupt them" talk that pivoted to "why are you trying to instigate Draymond just leave him alone and ball" pearl clutching. Kyrie and Draymond are two people who I don't understand why so many in the media and/or among the players go to bat for. Are they just really cool to hang with or something

The other "annoying" part of this narrative is that they're just like "Well of course Draymond is emotional and goes crazy and gets a long long leash from the refs to do stuff most other players would immediately be ejected with...so how dare they actually punish him!"
