NBA Game Action: 1/24/2015

the blazers are gonna win although i would be ecstatic with a wiz win

 

Hope John Wall can pull this out

 

Before tonight, it had been about 3 years since I listened to the Bucks home announcers. They were just as terrible as before. Don't even know if it was the same guys.

 

This game is finished...

 

Maybe Lillard will go ala-Harden and show that he can carry a team as well.

 

Because Knicks...

man i hate when they call the foul when you hit the shooter's arm after they already took the shot. What difference will it make if they hit your arm after you already released the ball??

 

Gotta make all three now

 

POR will feel the loss of LMA though in this stretch of games. They will definitely drop in the standings.

 

Aldridge is playing...

 

MVP shouts for Aldrige now...

 

The follow-through is still part of the shooting motion. So you can't touch the shooter at all whether any part of the arm or torso and legs.

 

I thought he had surgery on his hand.

 

omg the wizards are morons

 

Guy is putting it off until the offseason..
I still think he will miss some games though, and that means opportunity for the Blazers to drop

 

Gortat and Nene are frustrating to watch

 

Wizards choke.

the torso and legs makes sense, but a rule that neither impacts the shot nor provides a health danger to the player is a dumb rule. What makes it worse is its one of those calls that is completely arbitrary, like touch fouls, travelling, carrying, the refs basically pull it out their ass to suit themselves.
