LOL good defense? Smacking at someone's arms and hitting the ball once out of a couple of tries? How about that flop when LeBron had him isolated on the wing? That's not good defense at all. Ginobili smacked him too before LeBron spun and was robbed of an and-1. In any event, I expect that to be cleaned up later on once the Spurs close the gap a bit.
I don't think so. I see the fouls and I'm calling them out. I don't think you're seeing it for whatever reason.
That's not a foul. It's a mans game. Ü let them play. If ü think a foul is slapping at the ball then ü can call that anytime during a game. Again that's great defense. Holding his position as a defender despite the mismatch. And no that was not a flop. Lebron probably has a good 50 lbs on Parker. That was a refs discretion call while both are fighting for position. Parker did nothing wrong there.
No I'm seeing everything. You're just trying to believe there's some agenda to let the spurs back in the game which isn't happening. Ü might want to learn what great defense is and appreciate it. This game is an example of it from a lot of players
I'm all for slapping at the ball. But if you slap a man's arms while going at the ball that hard, that's a foul. Not sure what else you'd call it, especially when the other team gets called for ticky tack fouls, as another poster pointed out. Well, I can see that we're not going to convince each other about this game, so I'll just leave it at that. Enjoy the game
Funny how it's even being acknowledged the defense being played at halftime. I'm just a fan of good defense and appreciate it when I see it, especially by perimeter players
They are disciplined but I'm talking about the more blatant calls like the ball that clearly went off Parker when he slapped it from Lebron or that and-1 dunk that should've counted. They called it on the floor for some reason. Cavs have were called for a bunch shaky offensive fouls fighting for position too. Spurs flopping off those. I'm excusing why they're losing now but a lot of momentum killing calls kept the lead from ballooning earlier.
Refs have called this game fairly even on both sides to where they are not the factor affecting the game. They're letting both teams play as it is physical bc both teams are solid defensively. This is a good game and good plays from both sides both defensively and offensively.
Jimmy Butler becomes the fourth player in Bulls history to have a 50-point game, after Jamal Crawford in 2004, Chet Walker in 1972, and MJ's THIRTY EIGHT.
Detroit up 5 on Memphis with under 3 minutes to go. If they hold on, the Rockets will be in 6th by the end of the night.
