I watched it. You are not gonna like my answer, but none of these are playoff-caliber fouls. They wouldn't even be called in a pickup basketball...
GS does have a complaint in that the games were called differently than they were expecting. But it's debatable whether those fouls "need" to be...
Defensive players have held offensive players in this way in every playoff game ever played. Except for this series, we've just been in an era...
Not false, as winning a championship takes everything. But I think today was a good day to appreciate some really impressive basketball. That was...
Yeah, that was when we got nutpunched. Just thinking about it sends me into falsetto. The erratic reffing in the current playoffs is far less...
Durvasa is making a very reasonable point. Even if the league has its thumb on the scale, the games are still largely determined by the players....
Love's game is old NBA. Now the key skills are 3pt shooting, athleticism (for defense), and high BBiq. He's not bad, just a dinosaur.
Welcome back, KD! It doesn't make sense for players to shave. But if you're sure you're going to win the series, sometimes it does make sense...
The IT/Dumars Pistons are the championship team most similar to the current Warriors. Backcourt-oriented team. 3pt shooting big man. Excellent...
It's a difficult problem. I think no hand checking in the post even without the ball (but body ok) is the only system that can be consistent with...
That's a good analogy, in terms of development of the sport. I think part of the appeal of basketball is that it's a much simpler game than...
Perhaps I wasn't clear. I am saying that Steph and Klay are the big hitters. I think we're agreeing on that. Steph is great, so I think this is...
It's become more like volleyball, a sport where teamwork is more important than the biggest hitter, but you still have 1 or 2 go-to players when...
There is a little bit of post play still in the league, and yes the Warriors have a lot more nuanced offense than just to shoot 25 footers. I'm...
I have to disagree on this. KAT and Cousins can play in the post, but more and more they are being forced to become 3pt shooters. That brute...
This is not really about the Warriors. They're just the personification of the current rules. The main issue is that the current rules make 3pt...
There have been academic studies showing that NBA reffing is revenue positive, i.e. refs tend to err in a way that makes viewers stay through the...
Yes Curry is a genius, but that's a separate point. On offense they are a team with the all-time great shooter and another top shooter. Almost all...
I suppose it's a matter of taste. I'm an old school fan of Hakeem, who could wow with shocking displays of agility, creativity, and athleticism....
I think the media overhype is more annoying than the team itself. They're an amazing team that's perfectly built for the current rules. I can...
