It was fun seeing “I PLAYED COMPETITIVE BASKETBALL” posters galaxy brain themselves into saying things like “Randle had his man sealed with inside position”, “Randle sealed the defender for Quickley to drive”, and “Randle was executing the short roll”

Draymond touched the rim. It was called correctly, offensive interference. Reviewed and pause, pause, pause, over turned. As if it’s not offensive interference all of a sudden.

I’d remembered the ball being off the rim when Draymond hit it, but it clearly wasn’t, so I dunno. The ball was obviously going in without help, and maybe that should be an exception, but it isn’t and never has been.

There's always something at the bottom of the bag.
NBA should obviously change the rim rules to FIBA and Curry made the shot, so in the grand scheme of things I don't care too much....but it is insane that they overruled what they called on the floor. 90%ish sure Draymond touched the ball even which negates what the refs even said when they made the call.

its clear to me from this angle that Draymond had zero affect on whether or not the shot went in. Maybe he violated some text of the rule, but certainly not the spirit of it. Warriors deserve the win

NBA rule lawyers state according to the rules it wasn’t basket interference because of location on the rim or effecting shot or whatever but conveniently ignore that refs automatically call that basket interference 10/10 in any other game or situation so good for them calling it correctly for the first time ever in the history of the league when it benefits the warriors

this is the worst bulls season in recent memory, just absolutely miserable to watch every minute, they can't play basic defense, Pat is a bust and Coby sucks, I never want to see Vooch and his dumb-looking square head ever again, the only players who don't disgust me are Caruso and Torrey Craig, and they have no hope of ever getting better for years, they should just take the rest of the year off and go away where they can't bother me. I will watch at least part of like 50 bulls games this season by the way.

I ain't no fancy big city competitive basketball player and I reckon I hate Randle almost as much as rcarr but I think the redditors are right on that one. I say this with zero knowledge about the sport but I do see people do that type of pick a lot to muddy up two players near the arc.

this is where galaxy brain gets you though. Randle has a wide wide wide open roll to the hoop and he either gets there with a head of steam and a single man to beat or he causes the defense to collapse hard and he's got his choice of 2 good 3pt shooters at the arc or Robinson in the dunker spot. Basic text book pick and roll stuff. All that other stuff may be correct but still more needlessly complex for no more payoff then just doing the simple obvious thing.

Randle isn't even doing that stuff they claim he's doing particularly well either he's just standing there with his back to the ball! The only reason that you can squint and try to Hangover numbers scene scenarios where Randle is correct is because the Cavs defended that atrociously

They give Quickley poo poo for pulling up his dribble too fast but completely ignoring the fact that he's clearly expecting Randle to do the very obvious, high value thing and roll to the hoop. Even Randle slowly seems to recognize it at the end when he half heartedly puts his hand up for the ball

In defense of those other people though, my premise is 100% entirely based on the assumption that a wide open Randle with the ball in his hands driving to the hoop is a higher percentage play than Quickley with the ball behind the arc and two half defenders in his vicinity.

Thinking about it I am probably wrong.

My team won, they are in first place, and the game was close, I am now all-in on Tournament games! Best things ever! Ask again next Friday.

Really it's just another thing for the media and highlight shows to hype and talk about. More standings to look over and more time spent on "How will this game change the standings!"
