The Official Week 7 'Draymond Van Damme/Booker v Mudiay'' Thread

[Richard Cranium]

LOL its a foul for about 3 different reasons.

Moving screen, dropped the shoulder in and then even gave him a bit of a hip and shoulder after the contact.

How does one administer a hip and shoulder whilst falling to the ground after contact?

And dropped shoulder? Are we watching the same play? A slight - really slight - lean =/= a dropped shoulder.

Dangersloane is spot on. Patterson wasn't stationary and moved into Love's direct line. There was nothing Love could do in that situation since Patterson initiated the contact. More of a shoulder than elbow I suppose, but it was a bullshit blocking foul.

He could always, you know, play proper D and not end up running into a screen (which even if Pat doesn't move the foot he moves before contact, he'd still be doing). He does that and this isn't even a thing.

Let's be real, on a scale of 1 to Andrew Bogut screens, the thing's like a 3.5 and I can't believe I'm having to defend such a call. It's a sloppy play, but Love has as much to do with that as Patterson does. Really, we've all gone soft if we're up in arms over that!

 

[Wolfs]

14-8!!!

But got a game v. 76ers tomorrow.

A Sixers team with 9 available players, might be a 40 point win to the Grizz.

 

[kozi]

Klaybe on track for 60

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Klay going ham.

As long as Embiid plays. Got him in my fantasy team.

Nope, he's not playing back2backs atm.

 

[PP34]

This Warriors offence is nuts

 

[PP34]

The lack of travel calls is absurd. George just took about 7 steps

 

[Drummer_19]

Pretty hard to dispute the existence of the hot hand when s**t like this happens.

 

[Drummer_19]

Klay with 40 in the half, could only manage half of his teams points. Pretty lazy effort iyam.

 

[hbk_aus]

40 out of 80 points at half time, Klay is on one...

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Dat Luol Deng contract, yeesh.

Thibs be like

 

[Drummer_19]

Thibs be like

Thibs had a pretty big hand in driving him into the ground with his minutes philosophy

Who is troy Daniels and how did he hit 7 threes

As Love hit him, he pushed him off with his hip and shoulder.

Bogut screens hard, but not moving and sideways.

Do you even basketball?

Who is troy Daniels and how did he hit 7 threes

Who is in Klay Thompson's jersey and where have they been all season?

Dat Luol Deng contract, yeesh.

How did Deng go from being a quality NBA player to being a scrub?

 

[DangerSloane]

If you say so. Still prefer that other guy, as would any other team.

Fat lot of good it did you in the prelim.

 

[Drummer_19]

A few years ago he was on that Rockets D-league team (with Covington and Canaan too) that took 45 3s a game, Troy got to hoiste up 12.5 of them!

I'm sure one of the Bulls guys here could answer it better than I but check out the amount of mins he played in his peak http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/denglu01.html, pretty crazy amount when you add in playing 40+ mins a night in their playoff runs too. There were some rumours going around that he's another guy who might be older than his listed age.

 

[stewie griffen]

Marc with that block

Marc better get some MVP or MIP votes.

Mip?

Gasol yes?

 

[stewie griffen]

I don't see the problem?

Me neither really. Looked like he was setting a screen for lbj from that angle

 

[Drummer_19]

Would be nice if Klay could fill some other cats for me, I'm pretty good for 3s and points.

That's the one who hit a game winning three in the playoffs against Portland right?


Also, you forgot spinal tap

Except he wasnt set, he was moving, and then he charged shoulder first into love.

Its an illegal screen any day.

They'd get that right in social basketball.

That's the one.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1901342-the-houston-rockets-are-doing-it-again Bit off track but that's a pretty fun read from a few years about Houston implementing Moreyball to it's fullest through that D-League affiliate he was playing on.
