thunder and bulls the only teams so far who could not defend their hosed up looking courts and one of those required third party assistance

I will admit to not being intimately familiar with the basket interference rules, but wasn't the refs' claim that Giddey also illegally interfered with the shot?

Nah, they said it didn’t move the rim or cause an unnatural bounce, which is apparently the letter of the law.

That does seem more bullshit. Still, that shot was going in. Insane finish to an insane game.

IT MAKES ONE THINK
that none of those nba game ops people have seen a euro or mid major game with one of those hideous garish courts. They don't work. they look like poo poo. Remember brooklyn's original dingy rear end court?
there's a reason we stick to a few things within basically one look

admitting a willingness to change: good
requiring the players to tell you, an nba head coach, how to scheme a defense: maybe not so good

The courts look bad in still images but watching on my laptop on league pass it all looked fine to me.

Also every game tonight was good!

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.

I don't know if Griffin is a good coach or not but I do know that the thing that Bud is really good at is getting the most out of the back end of his roster* which is funny enough actually what they really need right now.

Then finished the game by pouting his way down the floor and letting the Bucks score because he didn't get the ball.

There's nothing much more to say about Randle. He's a complete drain on the franchise in every way possible. Everyone else are playing their hearts out too.
