He was always vindicated, depending on how you viewed game 5 last year when Grayson Allen euro stepped into history.

The Bones situation kinda reminds me of Oubre back when he had tons of potential and NBA-level skills but on the floor he just couldn't put poo poo together and was largely unplayable. He mostly sorta figured it out and is a useful guy now so maybe Bones can figure that out.

I dunno he was playing pretty good with the Clippers to start the season - it must be frustrating for him to not get any play at all cause he’s stuck behind two hall of famers.

Not sure why they didn’t trade him at the deadline, but the Clippers March schedule is pretty intense so maybe they think they’ll need him soon.

As with most trades that don't happen, the team didn't see a deal good enough to be worth giving their player up.

Clippers have a top heavy team but not much depth and key players with history of missing time. If you trade a rotation-level guy like Bones you need to get back a rotation-level guy in return, not just assets or potential. Not sure there were a lot of opportunities like that.

Panzeh posted:

Yeah I think so too. Or at least a mediocre team that would need him to play a consistent rotation role.

“Booker (PHX) is drawn into the air on the pump fake towards Sabonis (SAC), but the resulting contact is marginal and does not affect Sabonis's ability to enter his shooting motion.”

Foul:

“Murray (SAC) grabs and pulls Booker's (PHX) jersey away from his body and the contact affects his FOM during the throw-in.”

And they posted the wrong video on the site undoubtedly trying to hide the evidence

raptors report incoming.

scottie barnes has been playing bad and bein sad since december
he has made an average of 1 decent pass per game since
he has made an average of 6 awful-pass-to-turnovers per game since
he does not score very much and has been complaining to the refs a lot more

i do not blame scottie barnes. i hope he feels better soon. probably shouldn't be going to the all-star game.

the roster is still stupid as gently caress. chris boucher no longer plays (drat this team to hell)
garrett temple is still around despite being way worse than Thad (congrats Suns)
haven't seen agbaji much because his first game was half cutoff by loving golf, but i am optimistic (gently caress tsn, gently caress golf)
bruce brown was seemingly trying not to get traded before the deadline by playing badly, and since is just havin fun
i don't care about kelly olynyk, send him to the netherlands

gradey dick has been shooting 63% from 3 the last five games, seemingly starting to get how to shoot in the nba if nothing else.

everyone else about the same as usual. raptors report concluded.

I've seen fouls called for 1/100th of that much contact on the "got you into the air, go up for a shot under you to draw the foul" move. Seems like the refs were like "well he's big so it doesn't affect him"

Booker (PHX) is drawn into the air on the pump fake towards Sabonis (SAC), but the resulting piggyback may have resulted in a 3-point play in the closing minute of the game, so we dutifully covered our eyes and swallowed our whistles. Had Sabonis missed his shot we may have thrown in a late whistle as a compensatory measure.

The refs call things WAY different around the basket when it's big defending small vs small defending big. It's a huge difference from FIBA where it's called more evenly. I sorta understand why the NBA does it but also I think it take something from the game.

I think consistency is far more important than whatever it is they choose to deem a foul (more vs less physical etc).

If you even have to disallow certain nuanced things to make the rules more straightforward and easier to be consistent about I think that would be for the better.

Basically, sure, review the calls made, but review them relative to each other, too. It's dumb that late game is called different from early, etc.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.
We all yell about this but its true! What's galling is when they say in the two minute report that contact was/is "marginal." Yeah sure its marginal and he still made the basket...but the issue is consistency. If marginal contact isn't a foul, then why is it a foul all the other times throughout a game. When a shooter goes up and is lightly brushed halfway through a layup or whatever. And using marginal is weird too. They seem to in the two minute report love calling things marginal contact when the shooter ends up making it anyways, which isn't actually the point. And it goes back to the idea that you're creating a bad situation where players know they have to flail and snap their head back and do all other dumbshit so they can oversell a call or else they get no call at all.

I go back to the idea that they need to end the 2 minute report. Whether a given 2 minute report is exposing bad calls or plastering over "marginal" calls doesn't matter. It just pisses people off because its not like it actually fixes anything anyways.
