The 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament + Playoffs Thread

Steph having 3 fouls is just killing us because he's so afraid of fouling he's just getting crucified on the switches.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Can they seriously not guard anyone? These are freaking warm up jumpers they’re taking from the arc all game.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

how do refs decide when to call the T? Bullock clearly said to the ref that's flopping BS when Curry drew the foul no T. Draymond gets up after Bullock fouls him said that's BS, no T. And then out of nowhere Finney Smith gets a T?

The refs are trash.

 

[Russ Smith]

This is exactly what i was afraid of from game 1 you knew they would not miss all the open 3's and they've clearly found something going at Steph because of the fouls.

I thought Wiggins got fouled twice by Luka on that last play but the challenge at the rim was clean and vertical and Draymond just stupidly fouled on the rebound becuase he was mad.

 

[Russ Smith]

The refs are trash.

This is where the one challenge thing sucks there's been at least 3 calls in this half that if kerr challenges it's overturned, but you only get 1 so you save it and now they're so worked up over the refs it's killing them. IMO if he challenges that call on Lee where Bertans fouled him, they reverse that and the whole thing with the refs never happens

Klay -29 tonight.

 

[Russ Smith]

32-35 footer to beat the clock man what a dagger

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Only Down 14 but it feels like 30.

Suns got T’d up for some crap compared to all the crying in this game. Green should have been gone on all other nba standards for a T.

 

[nashman]

Agree Green gets away with yelling at the refs more than anyone I have e we seen!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Klay has been atrocious in the first half of both games.

 

[Russ Smith]

To me here's the game and again I think Kerr should have challenged. It's 38-30 Lee gets bumped into Brunson they call it on Lee. If kerr challenges and they overturn it, Lee is shooting 2 FT's to make it a 6 point game. he doesn't challenge. Draymond argues the terrible call and gets a T they make so it's 9, for the next 3-4 minutes the Warriors and Kerr were so busy arguing because of that one bad call that the game went from 8 to 19.

9:49 it's an 8 point game with you probably shooting FT's if you challenge, he doesn't and by 7:09 you're down 19, 11 point swing in 2:40.

But obviously that's hindsight

 

[95pro]

Ayton literally got two T’s for making offensive plays

I think it's pretty clear why. The refs know they missed the foul on Bertans which led to the first T so as Van Gundy said they're doing anything they can to not give him the 2nd one because it'll be an ejection.

Green definitely getting #2 tonight…you can feel it.

Barkley just called the 1st half the worst officiating he has ever seen.

Obviously he wasn’t watching the suns

I was taking the garbage out at halftime and my neighbor said "we'll win by double digits" and I said what game are you watching, and he said "I'm a Mavericks fan." I'd forgotten my face mask I had on was a Warriors mask I just assumed he meant Warriors when he said we.

It depends if they get a good start in the 3rd and get it under 10 Draymond will be good, if Dallas extends it again Draymond will get run.

Oh I don’t mean just this game, your a GS fan you know he does it all the time! I’ve watch many GS games and Green yells at refs and doesn’t get T’d up all the freaking time. Yet lots of players get T for much much much less it’s ridiculous.

At minimum, the NBA needs to go to one challenge per half.

Overall, I think this playoffs has been the collective worst group of officiating I can remember.

Oh sure I'm just talking about tonight. In general yes he pushes the window VERY far open

I will say this. Finney Smith should be gone already too. After his first T which again I have no idea where it came from. There's a play where Brunson misses a FT and Finney Smith goes right over the back of a Warrior and the Warrior knocks it out. The refs do the NBA thing don't call the foul give the warriors the ball and Finney Smith went nuts. If he didn't already have 1 bad T on him he would have gotten one for sure there IMO

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Dubs Defense Seven stops in a row and only two points.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

They are just absolute trash tonight.

 

[Russ Smith]

2 bad shots in a row by Steph. Without Looney this game is over Draymond keeps missing layups but Looney bailed him out.

At this point they gotta put Poole in there and see if the 3 guards can get hot they don't really have much else. not sure you can play that lineup against Luka though
