17 boards from Loon. 45-35 advantage tonightWell, 32. But somehow with a little help from Jerome, DiVincenzo, and my reverse jinx, we pulled it off.
Not sure why he wasn't playing last night?

I guess maybe partly to save him for the CLE twin towers tonight? Could have used some more of his steady rebounding, screening, and all around high IQ play down the stretch last night (and maybe just a bit less of the Poole show).17 boards from Loon. 45-35 advantage tonight

Yeah, I didn’t feel particularly robbed by the refs in OT. Was way more annoyed at the Warriors choking away a game they seemed in control of for most of the second half.So a three-second violation and a defensive three-second violation, neither of which was called all game? Ok lol. The 24-second “violation” was super close and looked clean in real time. I’d have to see that. The Horford foul he may have got some arm, but I guarantee that is not what the ref thought he saw. I think the Klay foul usually gets called.
But, really, they are supposed to START calling three second violations in OT? C’mon man.
Switch over to Nets/Jazz. Second half has been a blast to watch.Outside of watching how LeBron manages to continue to get his points despite diminishing athleticism, the Lakers are such a bore to watch. Just a bunch of guys, sloppy play, poor shooting. This game against Memphis is a sloggggg.
This is what makes the NBA awesome on top of having an incredible amount of talent. What a ridiculous scene!View: https://twitter.com/BenGolliver/status/1616650954157461509

Agreed that wasn't a foul on Klay. I hated that whistle. The ball went right back into Brown's hands in the lane. Jaylen hit 1 of 2 FTs. The Horford foul on Wiggins 3pt shot felt like a make-up call.I guess maybe partly to save him for the CLE twin towers tonight? Could have used some more of his steady rebounding, screening, and all around high IQ play down the stretch last night (and maybe just a bit less of the Poole show).
Speaking of last night: for all the hand-wringing over the egregiously bad call on the OOB ball off Wiggins, it was apparently just one of six wrong calls in OT — the other five of which went against the Warriors. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/nba-admits-refs-missed-five-ot-calls-hurt-warriors-vs-celtics
Still, fun game. I came away feeling pretty encouraged at the state of the Ws. despite the fact that they’re still wallowing in the #6-12 seed muck with the likes of OKC and Minnesota. At some point they gotta start stringing together some wins, tho…
Wow, Adams makes Sharpe look like a Tolkien dwarf.Shannon is a big dude but not Steven Adams big.

11 scrappy-dos and 1 dothrakiAdams is so important for that team, because they have like 12 all mouth no hands guys who love to talk shit when things are good, then pout when they aren't, but then need Adams as the only actual tough guy to step in and save them.
He’s awesome in Hustle, too, in the opening scene.Boban was born a generation or two late. The guy is a phenomenal offensive player but isn’t playable in todays game.
Standard NBA star treatment non-call.I didn’t realize that fans could threaten players without being ejected from the arena and barred from future games.
He hits the ball with his elbow/TRICEP and bashes the defender’s wrist/arm with the forearm. It’s not even close to a clean strip. Bane actually continued playing and complained after the whistle. He also grabs and pulls Bane’s other arm with his free hand.There was more of a foul on the shot than on the steal but probably shouldn’t have been a whistle there either. That was a clean strip by DS and Bane knew it too by his non-reaction.
What could possibly go wrong?I didn’t realize that fans could threaten players without being ejected from the arena and barred from future games.
Sharpe's just pissed because Bayless was getting all the LOOK WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT I AM headlines. Your move, Skippy.I didn’t realize that fans could threaten players without being ejected from the arena and barred from future games.
I think the wild nature of the swing makes it look much worse than it actually was. It looks like his forearm contacts the hand a bit-- definitely doesn't bash it-- and the replay in the second tweet clearly shows his offhand resting on Bane's hip.He hits the ball with his elbow/TRICEP and bashes the defender’s wrist/arm with the forearm.

You have to click on the “sensitive content” warning for some reason.
Wily play in that situation, sure, but also a blatant foul.
Bane questioned the foul call….not the strip. He then turned to his teammate and said “my bad” with no reaction toward the ref.

How could any contact not be a bash with that motion? He hit his wrist forearm swinging down as hard as he could. There are still shots of it as well.I think the wild nature of the swing makes it look much worse than it actually was.

His arm doesn’t go down because Shroeder hooked it with his motion. He goes down, then pulls up and away to tear the ball out.Bane questioned the foul call….not the strip.

It is awesome when it doesn't turn into a national conversation about the merits of your fanbase or city. Shannon is a former athlete, and a current member of the media, so the Lakers fanbase and city of Los Angeles will get to skip that part.This is what makes the NBA awesome on top of having an incredible amount of talent. What a ridiculous scene!
Yet Bane’s reaction to his teammate is “‘my bad.” C’mon now. This is a big stretch. DS got like 90% ball and maybe some hand/wrist. That’s simply not a foul. Has the 2-min report come out yet?How could any contact not be a bash with that motion? He hit his wrist forearm swinging down as hard as he could. There are still shots of it as well.
I guess we’re parsing words on “bash,” but that is 100% a foul either way.

Ref had no way to see it since DS's and Bane's bodies were blocking his view of the ball being stripped. Can't blame the ref for not calling it.How could any contact not be a bash with that motion? He hit his wrist forearm swinging down as hard as he could. There are still shots of it as well.

Not really sure how much further this conversation can go, but here’s a still. He clearly hits his arm/wrist. If you don’t think that’s a foul, ok we’ll never agree.

Yeah, that must be what happened, though there are multiple officials on the court for a reason. This seems like something replay should automatically get right regardless. The system as it stands is the least effective of any replay system in sports by a wide margin.Ref had no way to see it since DS's and Bane's bodies were blocking his view of the ball being stripped.

His Warrior 6yr NBA Ref Conspiracy Theory is insanity.Ugh, I hate that dude. Possibly the worst of the Dub Nation talking heads (and there are some bad ones to choose from). Athletic Alchemy is way more entertaining and not a whiner. For in depth basketball breakdowns, I love Eric Apricot’s Explain One Play series. And of course the guys that are good on hoops in general (Zach Lowe, Nate Duncan, Jason Timpf, e.g.) also tend to be good on the Warriors.
Seems to me there was a massive overreaction to what Skip said and now a pretty muted reaction to what Shannon did, especially with the WWE-style interview Shannon gave to ESPN. Maybe Shannon is leaving FS1 for ESPN and this is some kind of absurd stunt, who knows.I didn’t realize that fans could threaten players without being ejected from the arena and barred from future games.
Turned off the ugly NFL game because I haven’t seen much of the Kings all year. Davion Mitchell just made a three on an alley oop attempt.So Kings, #3 in the West, can help the cause by beating the recently hot 76ers?

Also the foul on Bane at the other endTwo-minute report says they got the no-call correct.
Yeah he owed his teammates two “my bads” instead of only one. What a sequence.Also the foul on Bane at the other end
Any Warriors fan complaining about the refs is out of their mind. I can’t think of a team that gets a more favorable whistle than the Dubs night in and night out. I mean the fact that Draymond doesn’t get 2 technicals every game immediately puts them at the top of the list by a mileWarrior's Nation was Big Mad after the Celtic loss
