Imagine if Denver doesnt close out the series today against the spurs. mental scars

Bev has been flopping all series/career.

It's part of his game. Hardly a shock.

 

[fidstar]

Nice to see SA came out with a good start.

I had a feeling Denver were going to blow them out, so at least this should make it interesting.

 

[hutchy31]

How much longer can Malone have Barton in the rotation? Shooting poorly, just turned the ball over a couple of times at the end of the third in a close game.

It’s a shame, but he’s woefully out of form and could end up costing them badly.

 

[peternorth]

Its now or never Denver.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I wish Derrick White would do something with that bird's nest of a haircut. It's distracting.

 

[peternorth]

Game over

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Jokic has been huge tonight, but Denver no match for the Spurs.

 

[peternorth]

spurs time out
101-118
a minute to go

worth it

Still can’t quite understand the play right on the half time buzzer. Derozen misses a FT with 0.8, clocks SHOULD start as soon as the ball hits the rim, but apparently the ball can hit the rim, then the ground, derozen still has time to get the loose ball and throw up a shot and time doesn’t expire....amazing

Grown men and women holding up placards at NBA games. DO you think they're provided for by the home team? Or are they home made?

Yep

 

[peternorth]

Yep

Did malone complain?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Denver will still take Game 7 at home and go on to face the Blazers in the conference SF.

 

[fidstar]

1 more assist and Jokic would have had a good game.

Needed to be more like Westbrook and refuse to check out with 2 mins to play.

 

[DT_35]

Did malone complain?

Not sure lol, was watching at work so was only seeing bits and pieces

If the basket was waved away you were only down by 2

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I’m probably wrong but I thought the clock starts when someone touches the ball not after it hits the rim.

Didn’t see the game but the Spurs must have played great. Going to have to watch the replay, Jokic’s numbers look incredible. Good to see that at least one first round series went to 7.

.

Free throws it’s when it hits the rim. Inbounds is when it touches a player

Maybe I am wrong, will search when I have a chance

2. On a throw-in, the shot clock shall start when the ball is legally touched on the court by a player.
3. Following a jump ball or missed free throw, the shot clock shall start when new possession is obtained.

 

[DT_35]

That’s shot clock...

Or you could have just boxed out
