    The interview was taken on Thursday before Game 3 so Morey must have contact the league either after game 1 or game 2 but we are just hearing about it now.

    Don't worry ya'll, ask Westbrook about Pat Beverly. He's going straight for Curry's knees and ankles on Sunday.

    And before each game Bogut and Green jump in a whirlpool of heated industrial superglue to maximize their stickiness. They'll both get cancer at age 55 but it'll have been worth it.

    Clearly, the screener are moving due to defenders intentionally wrapping their arms around the screener and moving them from their spot. It's also clearly evident that the screeners are trying to maintain offensive integrity instead of just flopping when they are being manhandled by defenders.

    The NBA officiating crew will be notified to call fouls on the defenders on such plays moving forward, and defenders will be subject to technical fouls and fines for continuing to grab and move the screener from their established position.

    Sincerely,

    The NBA Front Office

    I wonder if Morey used Clutch's video or compiled his own. :)

    This is nothing new, teams try to do everything they could to gain an edge.

    You think GSW and many other teams don't send in videos complain Harden's offensive foul & flop, Clipper's Griffin & Paul's dirty plays & flop, etc? They all do.

    Are you unable to read? The NBA also admitted to letting the Warriors get away with a foul on the stolen inbounds play, which -- if called correctly -- would've put Beasley at the line, up 1, and prevented the entire sequence that necessitated the Harden game-winner. Why is that not as relevant as the Harden no-call (if not more)? If your reaction to yesterday's L2M report was that the NBA "let us get away with an offensive foul for a game-winner", you either didn't read it or you're the simpleton of all simpletons.

    Watching Andrew Bogut is infuriating. Bogut and Green are the new Bruce Bowen. Bending the laws of sportsmanship while everyone cheers them on.

    Should just lower the shoulder if they want to do moving screens all the time.

    Lol.


    I love how people forget that even with the supposed missed offensive foul call, we still would have had two free throws to win the game based off the Green flagrant.


    You win some, you lose some. People need to get off it.

    Don't get your hopes up. Morey did this last year as well to no avail

    Again, on Bogut's 'stumbling backwards with hands up' screens that seem to go
    uncalled or unnoticed, our players simply need to crumple down behind him
    and he'll go falling right over them backwards.

    Let him crack his coconut on the hardwood a couple of times and he'll get the message.
    Will the refs call it if he's backing into the defender?

    Who's more in the wrong in that situation?
    I'm sure the guy in Red will get the whistle. But it would sure send a great message

    And if Beasley or anyone else ever gets 'bear hugged' and mauled by Green, I wish they would just throw their head back violently and it
    will either break his nose or break his teeth out. Problem solved.
    Can they eject you if you happen to react to a mugging on the court?
