NBA Week 5 Thread - Denver 18 Cleveland 21 fouls

[Gak Attack]

The record for Paul with Foster reffing is crazy considering Paul is always on winning teams and it's 3-17. It's dodgey as whether CP is a flog or not, unsurprising I guess from someone who got away with rigging games with Donaghy.

 

[hamG]

CP3 149 playoff games. My numbers might not be perfect but +/- close enough.

Non-Foster win record of 56%
With Foster win record of 15%

By the numbers it is impossible to not say there is fundumental bias going on.

So what the hell, he's old enough he may as well go at him whenver he feels like it. Nothing will change.

My response was purely in reply to that, his post game press conference was fine. What did he do wrong? Foster clearly had a vendetta against him and I don’t blame him for letting his emotions get the better of him (which he even acknowledged in the press conference).

You’ve said ‘clearly’. What happened in the game that was evidence of this? none of the calls against Paul were wrong.

It is clear historically.

Really?

 

[Memphis]

Porzingis leaving the game early due to calf tightness has really hurt us.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Really?

Not a flog at all IMO. Very smart man

 

[Scythe94]

Orlando is winning the championship. No further questions.

 

[Scythe94]

We are so BACK

 

[Memphis]

 

[Borough Blood]

Boston get scared as soon as they enter Florida.

 

[apollo_creed]

KD out tonight it seems. Going to need a big night from Booker.

 

[DT_35]

How the f*** does this even happen?

 

[Gak Attack]

MSM running with it now. Hopefully either way it gets the truth quickly.

Not sure why anyone cares really. After the Miles Bridges situation NBA has no morality left to stand behind

Paper is the guys ticket and he has slipped then fallen off the edge of the court as opposed to a hole. The floor is raised there

Giddey thing is actually quite weird in the sense that a ton of the Twitter entries are from bots and are part of some form of cyber attack on either of the 2 peoples phones. Tons of the links about the story contain viruses and the like . Feels like someone has turned a cyber attack into a larger cyber attack thereafter. The current Twitter bot send is going on about a Giddey sex video leak etc then piles through a ton of screenshots at very fast speeds, none of which are Giddey or the person they are saying is the 15 year old

Quite a different approach to it all

 

[apollo_creed]

Would imagine there’s also stuff ($$$) going on behind the scenes.

 

[apollo_creed]

Don’t really care about this in-season tournament thing but like any tournament where point differential/goal difference comes into it in a group stage format, all last round group games (for the same group) should be played at the same time.

Seems ridiculous that the Suns played today and Oklahoma or whoever it is knows exactly how much they need to win by.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Missed the Orlando game cause I slept I because got up early to watch the Rotherham v Leees championship game but the young and improving Magic have given is real problems lately.

Not surprised at all we lost

 

[apollo_creed]

Booker 40 points on 15/21 shooting. Started 1/4 I think as well so shot at 14/17 from that point. Very un Luka like 40 point game.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

How the f*** does this even happen?

Jaylen Brown got a bruised shin playing on the Raptors in season tournament floor last week. Other players have also been injured playing on these in season tournament floors. It's a bloody disgrace

 

[burge13]

Turns out there's a 19 year old with the same name so Giddey in the clear right. He's then asked about it by media and says "no comment", if you weren't with the younger girl why wouldnt you just say "you have the wrong girl"?! Might be something to it? Surely not 15 though?

As previously said, given the NBA stance on Bridges multiple efforts not sure what they can do

 

[Slysh]

Booker 40 points on 15/21 shooting. Started 1/4 I think as well so shot at 14/17 from that point. Very un Luka like 40 point game.

You mean the same Luka that put up 44 points on 17/21 shooting just a few weeks ago?
