2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

[Russ Smith]

I don't know what the answer is but the NBA has to fix the quality of the refs. Kings down 1 with 1.3 seconds left against houston, De Aaron Fox takes an off balance 3 and they call a foul on Eric Gordon. The Rockets have no timeouts but the refs review the call to see if the foul happened before time expired. The problem is there is NO FOUL, Gordon didn't touch Fox it was a phantom call. You could actually see the refs when they replayed it they realized OMG that's not a foul but the ref still came over and said the foul happened with .3 on the clock, 3 FT's for FOX. He made the first 2, tried to miss the 3rd on purpose with a balloon ball that went through anyways, and the Kings win the game.

The ref apparently ruled that Gordon made contact hip to hip with Fox but NBA tv had it from 3 angles and it's NOT a foul. Even the Kings players were shaking their heads as they walked off the court.

Can't happen, if you can replay calls you HAVE to be able to say sorry we missed that call it's not a foul game over.

Talk about respect for a defensive player. The Warriors will not dribble the ball against GP2 in tonights game. Whoever he's guarding coming upcourt just immediately passes the ball to someone else. I guess a year of getting picked by him in practice taught them just don't try and dribble against him

Josh Hart traded to the Knicks, was in the layup line before the game against the Warriors when he was informed he'd been traded.

I need another angle, the way he missed and the way his body moved looks like there might have been some contact to his hip. IF there was any it wasn't much, but it may have been there.

Was there a view from the other side?

On NBA tv they had 3 angles none of them showed contact. But that's the one that everyone seems to have online.

actually I take it back the 2nd angle on this one actually does show contact. They didn't show this one on NBA tv. I still don't like the call it won the game but there IS contact I'll admit that.

Yeah you gotta contest and get outta the way. Whether or not it was a lot of contact, Fox wasn’t making that shot so why put yourself in that situation…tough loss for the Rockets but they’re tanking anyway lol.

Yeah if I'd have seen that replay I wouldn't have made the first post. I still don't like the call I don't think that was a natural shooting motion by Fox but there is contact so you CAN defend the call.

I guess NBA tv airs local broadcasts, and the one I saw it on was a Rockets crew and they didn't have that replay.

Lakers deal a done deal. They get D. Russell.

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Too bad we can't just draft guys like Russell. Oh, wait...

 

[Yuma]

Lakers get DLO. Suns get KD. KD > DLO! Check Mate!

 

[Covert Rain]

Kyrie and Luka are going to be a handful if tonight is any indication. They actually looked good together.

Thank god we got KD.

Luka is still out with that heel injury but yeah, Irving and the Mavs looked good together.

By “they” I meant the Mavs not Luka. Kyrie fit in well.

 

[Yuma]

I was expecting Kyrie to look good out there without Luka on the court. It's when they have to share the ball. Unless you can get Kyrie to come off the bench, and you lower Luka's minutes. I will have to see both Luka and Kyrie playing together. I just can't picture it yet.

Weird. Seeing the play from behind Gordon clearly makes contact with fox. It was a foul to me.

Hey, at least you guys now have two players on your roster that have actually won championships before.



Glad we dumped Westbrook finally. We haven't had a player in the top 50 in 3-point shooting all season. Now we have Russell and Beasley who are both in the top 15 in the league.

Potential buy out adds?

PG- Goran Dragic
SF- Eric Gordon
PF- Thaddeus Young
PF- Kevin Love
C- Nerlens Noel

Love would be good. I guess Gordon would be ok, but doubt he gets cut.

I think it will be fine. Kyrie is a great shooter and doesn’t need the ball in his hands all the time to score. Actually last night he didn’t handle the ball for large portions of the game when he was on the floor. It will be a better version of jalen Brunson and luka (if you look at last years playoffs) who both were great playing together and playing without the other. For me it’s a positive of how well the mavs roll players played with Kyrie straight away against a good team.

With that said the Mavericks might not go as far as last season. The WC is stacked especially now with what phx did. I’m excited to see if anymore trades go down. For Dallas I’m kind of ok if they do nothing else because they have some guys that are making the most of opportunities that they were not getting before.
