The Finals

[mac]

he's moving in a forward motion towards the rim though, you can't be telling me that him stopping instantly so Giannis can piggy back him is basketball craftiness

But what's the alternative? Go up for a shot that's gonna get blocked? The "usual" play would be to stop and pumpfake. That's basically what he did minus the pumpfake. Now if you you're referring to other times when Paul tries to dribble in front of guys while bring the ball up in the backcourt and stop to draw fouls, I'd agree with you, and in fact he got called for an offensive foul doing that against the Clippers if I recall.

the alternative is to not blow your whistle and resume play or throw it off the backboard T-Mac style perhaps?

 

[mac]

Well, coaching matters and Monty is > Walton then of course Chris Paul on the floor. lol.

Well last time Buddy talked about Sacramento's track record in attracting big name free agents fans were all upset, so I look forward to us signing our Chris Paul over the offseason.

So you can just run into guys and it's not a foul?

if the play is initiated by the offensive player then call an offensive foul

Why? Should charges be called defensive fouls?

Oh I hear Kawhi has been trying to get ahold of McNair but he's on vacation right now so he'll have to wait for him to check his messages.

With our luck Kawhi would come here just to sit out for a year to rehab whatever phantom injury he has while collecting the big bucks

I can see it. Just add him to the list of former coaches on the payroll for all eternity, haha.

if not in a stationary position then yes

 

[LPKingsFan]

refs allowing Paul to stop on a dime, have Giannis trip all over him and then give him continuation is just one of many things that's wrong with the association

That didn’t strike me as egregious as the flagrant on Lopez on the Paul three point attempt.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Props to CP3 for a great game 1. He’s an insincere little $#/! but he can flat out ball. He plays the game the right way and plays both sides of the floor equally hard and smart.

PHX goes as far as he carries them.

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe there are ways to work it if Giannis can get back into the swing but that just looked desperate from Bud there. They aren't as well built a small baller as the Suns so trying to out small ball them is something that really will or won't work. So far, won't is winning.

Especially with Divincenzo out. The issue with playing Brook Lopez is that CP3 is going to destroy him on pick and rolls pretty much every single chance he gets so I can see why they’d put Giannis in at 5 instead though

Eh, small litmus test. It was one game. At home.

As the axiom goes, the series doesn’t really start until the first road win. It’s far from scientifically proven yet often true.

did not see that play so I can't comment

Yeah, and I guess in a way the fact that Bud is a coach willing to try anything makes me really loathe the style of Walton smashing away at the same button that never seems to work with a blank stare on his face.

 

[SLAB]

Man, I don’t know what Milwaukee should be feeling after that first quarter. Feels like they should be up a lot more.

 

[Tetsujin]

CP3 really gets to complain about everything.

 

[SLAB]

I’ve never watched enough Giannis until now to realize how broken his jumper is. That thing is ugly.

 

[SLAB]

Paul shoves Jrue into screen, foul on Jrue of course.

 

[SLAB]

Milwaukee is toast.

 

[kingsboi]

Middleton missing a ton of open mid range shots

 

[SLAB]

Middleton missing a ton of open mid range shots

It really seems like he has no in-between. He’s either on fire or building brick houses.

 

[kingsboi]

Holiday is a menace. blocking Booker at the rim and Ayton too now

 

[kingsboi]

It really seems like he has no in-between. He’s either on fire or building brick houses.

one of the ultimate hot and cold players in the association which landed him money in Davis, Curry territory

 

[SLAB]

Holiday’s missed approximately 12 layups tonight.

 

[kingsboi]

as I praise Holiday on the defensive end, on offense he is shooting something along the lines of 3-15 or so, playing like he ate onion rings for a pre-game meal

 

[SLAB]

I don’t care how good his defense is, Holiday is absolutely killing Milwaukee’s chances right now.

 

[kingsboi]

Bucks defense all out of sorts while their offense has come to a halt

 

[Joshoua]

The **** is Middleton and Jrue doing man
