    I mean the NBA is so transparent, and again if you want to win a championship in this league you will have to do it by just beating them against all odds.

    I wish somebody could tell me what was the purpose of Jordan Poole knee grab? He clearly cupped his hand, and was not swiping at the ball at all.
    In fact he held on to his knee. It wasn't even a slap at the knee.
    What was the purpose of that?

    And you Astros fans ought to know something about that. Since it seems like that the Astros are the only team that got really penalized for sine still and even though every other team in the league did it.
    That's why it's it's hard for me to watch sports anymore. Because it's just all WWE all over again every year.

    I'm not an Astros fan. I just don't like baseball. You sure make a lot of assumptions.

    Not sure why Poole grabbed his knee, only Poole can answer that after that it's all speculation from all of us.

    What is speculation?
    That he grabbed the knee and pulled on it?
    Or that this was part of a basketball play?

    I'm not sure what you mean by speculation?
    My question is is what is the purpose of grabbing someone's knee in basketball?
    If it's speculation that he did not mean to grab his knee then why did he keep on pulling it?
    And if he did mean to grab his knee, what was the purpose?
    And if you want to argue that it was accidental, then what are you basing your assume on other than Poole is a good guy?

    So like I said, is there a basketball play that requires you to grab somebody's knee?

    And there are warrior fans on here believing that their team doesn't get help from the league by hurting their opponents enough to make it seem like they are better than they are.

    Literally the only time I ever seen the warriors get an unfavorable outcome was in the finals against the cavs and that was only because the league wanted to milk the cow.

    My prediction is that Jaren will get 3 fouls in the first quarter and at least two of them will be questionable, because the NBA needs to send a message early that there will be no hero ball tonight and if that doesn't work, they will send Curry and co. to the line at least 34 times tomorrow night.

    The point is that Dillon Brooks did get suspended and it affected the outcome of the series.

    Besides, I don't even respect Charles Barkley anymore because he has been threatening. Skip Bayless for years with beating his ass and killing him and all kind of stupid ****.
    I wouldn't trust being around Barkley with my life. I'll tell you that.

    Jordan Poole not only grabbed his knee with one hand but with his off-hand he pushes him in th back.
    I'm tired of th bullshit, man.
    He intended to hurt him. And he did.

    I don’t understand why you’re upset. What exactly did you expect?
