NBA Game Action : 12/25/2019

can’t wait to see how we matchup with the Lakers

 

PG absolutely horrid in crunch time

 

Rockets don’t have the defensive ceiling these teams have. That’s what keeps us a tier below.

 

You can almost bank on LBJ missing a critical FT in crunch time lol

 

Bev!

 

That was off LBJ, if that was Harden they would over turn and give it to the Clippers lol

 

King dickin' around and letting little Pat Bev D him up.

 

Wow they did make the right call after all shocked

 

It's great to see Bev highlights when he's not playing us

 

Gotta love it Pat is one pompous douche but he made a hell of a play there

 

@Zboy
Yup Bev is legit . Anyone who says otherwise shouldn't be on this site

 

They have got to fix these stupid ass replay rules. Bev hit that out. For 70 years of nba basketball we called that out on the defense. I dont know why Breen thought it was " who caused it" but he's exactly right that should be the rule. This whole "it grazed the offensive " player's fingertip is so against everything we all know about bball. Try calling that in a pickup game after you slap it straight out of someone's hand.

Obviously if you knock it off someone's knee or something then great. But this fingertip crap they do on these slapaways is just so different than how these calls are made anywhere else in the basketball world.

edit: and I didnt want the Lakers to win. But this is just a stupid interpretation of basketball. At literally no point before replay would anyone have batted an eye at saying the defender knocked it out.

 

The clippers can’t defend us like they do the lakers. The difference being our speed in the backcourt. Lebron can’t blow by defenders like kawhi or PG off the dribble like James and Russ can and force a collapse. They don’t have enough creators and spacing to make them really work. In the second half they forced them into a pure half court game and their offense was horrible.

 

age 35, 17th season...Bron has only had 1 truly standout game this season

he still deserves the benefit of the doubt that he’ll be able to turn it up in the playoffs, but he’s been thoroughly mediocre against Milwaukee and the Clippers...2 teams that demanded for him to be at least very good

 

LeYuan with a Xmas day choke! thank you santa

 

LeExcuses

 

?

not sure why you’re upset

yeah, before replay it would’ve been Laker ball because no one would be able to tell, but now we do, so now it isn’t

yes, in pickup it would be Bron’s ball because no one is about to sit there and have a 10 minute argument or possible fight about the ball actually being off a dude’s fingertips last...the NBA has actual stakes, pickup doesn’t

 

I don’t understand why the Lakers ran the clock down to 3 seconds before attempting a shot, down 3. In a tie game, obviously you do that to leave no time on the clock. But when you’re down, it makes no sense to limit your options like that. I saw another team do this last week (don’t remember who)

Glad the Lakers lost, but I found this befuddling.

 

Lebron wanted the all or nothing you can tell. He didnt want to go for two and then foul. He wanted to tie it up right there. I think it’s because he had not really been able to get into the paint all game. He just didn’t have the speed.
