NBA Playoffs 24
Re: NBA Playoffs 24
I want a translation of whatever it was that Doncic was saying to Gobert after that shot. He was giving it to him. Damn.

I didn't clearly see the first part, but the 2nd part was quite clearly "mother fucker....you can't fucking guard me"....then to someone in the crowd was a "go home bitch".

Doncic is the oldest 25 year old I have ever seen. He walks like he's seen a lot of things. What a crazy career.

Damn Mavs, what a game!

Re: NBA Playoffs 24
I bet on the Mavs, am happy for Luka and Kyrie, but..... If the ref/s hands out a tech for this.

Then why wasn't what Luka did a tech?

Anthony Edwards stare down shouldn't have been a technical. This is the playoffs. These are adults.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 10:31 pmI bet on the Mavs, am happy for Luka and Kyrie, but..... If the ref/s hands out a tech for this.

The main difference is Luka didn't get right in his face. But, in my opinion, and based on the reaction of the announcers, the Anthony Edwards clip was a bad technical.

Illy’s right.

Re: NBA Playoffs 24
The refs tonight did a good job for the most part. They let them play. Called it both ways.
The only really bad call was a challenge that Dallas won, where Kyrie fouled McDaniels but they didn't call it, they called the ball out on Kyrie, Dallas challenges, refs clearly see it's a foul but can't change it to a foul since it an OOB call, call gets reversed.
That rule should change. If you're going to take the time to do a review then let's get the call right, instead of overturning on a technicality because the refs only have certain scenarios where they can go to the review and change it from one call to another rather than just a reversal.

Edwards killed them late. Not even getting a shot, up 2 points, with under 20 seconds, and throwing the ball out of bounds, is exactly how you lose close games in the playoffs. Luka made them pay. Now their backs are against the wall.

Re: NBA Playoffs 24
By far, Luka is my favorite NBA player to watch
Re: NBA Playoffs 24
Gobert actually recovered enough ( bc he has such long arms ) to challenge that shot.
Luka just is that good.

For as great as Ant is, his coach rightfully threw him under the bus last night - and has done as such in the past.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:23 pmEdwards killed them late.

I don't pretend to be very knowledgable about the NBA but what I do know is, the Minnesota Timberwolves have proven to have a killer mentality but they also have too many mental breakdowns and the last two games those breakdowns have proven to be fatal.

Re: NBA Playoffs 24
Agreed. Almost feels like Dallas knows if they can keep it close, the last few minutes of the game Minny will make mistakes and then they can give it to Kyrie or Luka and they won't be able to stop either of them when it matters the most.
I saw something like of the 2 games played, Minny has lead for 75 minutes and Dallas had led for only 15 minutes.

The NBA is loving these playoffs. All the young guns getting to take center stage.
Luka
Ant
Haliburton
Tatum

Re: NBA Playoffs 24
He didn’t block it of course but look how close his hand is to Luka’s face. That’s certainly well better than your average challenge on a shot. It’s why Luka is 1st team All Pro….his offense.DeletedUser wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 5:13 amSemi challenged at least.
It's just an awful matchup for Gobert. He's too slow to be effective consistently when he gets switched onto Kyrie or Luka.
