The Bigfooty NBA Week 21 Thread

[Memphis]

FVV went absolutely off on the refs. Big fine coming. Incredible stuff though.

I’m glad he did.

Credit to him and called out the ref specifically.

Refs don’t have to front the media when they make terrible calls.

Nor should they have to, what does it achieve? It is just a way to publicly shame them

They review calls post game and try to improve, making them face the media does nothing but put a target on them

MVP - Jokic
DPOY - Mobley
6th Man - Brogdan
ROY - Banchero
MIP - Lauri

 

[nahnah]

Maxey has started 27 games otherwise it would be him

 

[Memphis]

You can breathe again Look2Me4Guidance

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Brogdan has been more consistent over the season can’t see anyone else beating him.

Betting odds have them dead even at 1.91 with Malik Monk and Norman Powell both very far behind

In reality though Jordan Poole is actually best 6th man in the league.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

MVP - Jokic
DPOY - Mobley
6th Man - Brogdan
ROY - Banchero
MIP - Lauri

Almost all of those write themselves this year. Only thing worthy of debate is 6th man

It gives a sense of accountability, have you seen some of the techs and ejections that have been given? It is ridiculous, I’d like an explanation for it because some of them are that terrible it warrants it.

Id have more respect if a ref came out after a game and said we got a few calls wrong they are human after all.

But it’s shocking you don’t see them getting fined for game changing calls that were wrong. Not even a slap on the wrist.

Players are the ones that cop it, like most say we aren’t watching the game for the refs we are watching the game for the players.

I think shai might take MIP over Lauri but rest I agree with.

Are we going to start fining players for missing shots? I will never get behind fining refs for honest mistakes, that is wild.

That need to be held accountable by being dropped to the G league if they are not performing up to standard, they do not need to be fined or publicly scrutinized.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Maxey has started 27 games otherwise it would be him

He will start for the long term

Melton just isnt good enough from 3 to start so Maxey gets the role.

That whole Melton trade was atrocious. Milton is perfectly okay

They were better off trading for Crowder or getting a guy like Ingles in on the cheap

Shai was already insane last year to be honest

Melton has been very good, he has added a lot to this team and one of the few 2 way players on it. Crowder is so overrated it is crazy.

He is a 2 way player and the team needs one. Just not one like him

10 points a night and shooting 39% from 3 with decent defence? That is exactly what they need.

Agreed except JJJ for DPOY

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Agreed except JJJ for DPOY

JJJ should learn how to not foul before winning the award

 

[Borough Blood]

Kuminga pulls a KD, rolled ankle in warm ups.

 

[Memphis]

When was the last time warriors gave up 45 in the first?

 

[Memphis]

Curry is unfair to the sport of basketball.

 

[Memphis]

This has been a great game so far.

 

[Borough Blood]

This has been a great game so far.

Keen for another one next week

 

[peternorth]

Bamba, Russell, lebron all injured. FML

 

[nahnah]

what a bad challenge by Mike Brown. Two different reasons why that was a foul
