They're the NBA Team Sales & Marketing Awards. The previous team of the year for these awards was GSW, there's a couple years missing from what I can find, but the Raptors obviously won for 2019, and then the 2018 one didn't have a team of the year?

Zach just has no spatial awareness in help situations.

He's not a terrible man defender. But just like has no ability to track responsibilities for help defense, and just lets dudes cut behind him for dunks and layups or wide open 3's.

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.

All the possible D’Lo trades being for the guys with the same defensive problems plus the little bit of depth they have is really making me wonder why it’s a good idea.

last 2 minute report:

quote:

Porzingis (BOS) is above the ball and legally contests Mathurin's (IND) shot attempt, with some incidental arm contact occurring concurrent with the block. Referees conducted a replay review to determine if the foul was called with no time remaining on the clock (00:00), and determined it was called before the expiration of time. The clock was reset with 0.6 remaining on the clock. The foul itself was not a reviewable matter under this replay trigger.

Yeah blah is a lot of where I'm at with it. There's been some good ball but it feels like overall there's something missing from this season and it's hard to put my finger on what it is.

the lack of defense has made games feel very much like whoever's going to have a good night shooting threes is just going to win. A very anti-climactic year. carve out exceptions for wemby , minnesota, and orlando.

I feel like we need to get rid of all the guys my age in the league(and their outsized voices in how things are done) and get back to 2015 levels of defense being legal

Move the 3 point line a couple feet back and make it a straight line instead of curved. Make alley-oops worth 4 points. Bring hand checking back.

lol, they say the contact with jaylen browns head was incidental. you can literally see his head jolt forward when he gets hit. it was also supposed to be a jump ball after that, not awarding the pacers the ball immediately

Let's spice it up, introduce blunt weapons, but also body padding. That ought to show down the shooting a bit.

How do you have "some incidental contact" on the arm during a shot? Isn't any contact a foul?

I don't understand this incidental contact thing at all, its applied really arbitrarily.

I know watching it live I thought the Brown play was definitely a no call and the Krystaps play was definitely a foul

I think if you hit the ball and get it out of the shooter's hand first, then subsequent follow-through arm contact isn't a foul
