Ref was really buying into whatever Austin Reeves was selling there. He was like "shit man, never even thought about it like that."
thats a function of their personnel and style of play much more than any kind of favorable treatment imo. i watch a decent number of games and it doesn't really stand out to me as being better or worse than any other team.
That's fair, it's more a perception thing from my perspective. I'll trust that you're not a LAL sleeper agent.
He's like a more talented Rambis or something... Or Laimbeer? or maybe Stockton? He's not cheap.. and it's not just that he's white... It's the way he acts on the floor... one of those gritty players that is making the absolute most out of his talent.
i hate the lakers. I just don't think the refs give them a special whistleThat's fair, it's more a perception thing from my perspective. I'll trust that you're not a LAL sleeper agent.
At least Marcus is a reasonably skilled passer, and even if Brooks is [maybe] a slightly better 3 point shooter, Marcus is far better inside the arc. Brooks is a very bad offensive player.
If the Grizzlies aren't hitting their outside shots, they have almost no chance. AD has the paint completely shut off.
Every time Mark Jones comments that an over-dribbling player is "playing with his food" I die a little bit inside.
Draymond and Looney seem to be so in his head by standing under the basket daring him to take an uncontested elbow jumper. It kills the Kings rhythm.
Hate to see the Lakers move on, but it's pretty fun to see the Grizzlies unceremoniously dumped in the trash where they belong. I wonder where "I'm fine in the west" stands in the history of embarrassingly failed trash talk.
Remember game 1 when Jaren Jackson was the best player on the floor? Good times.

Brooks talking about sending the Lakers home as an opening appetizer in the playoffs was up there, as well.
As much as I love watching games on TNT, there's something about the ESPN coverage that rubs me the wrong way. The play by play man went on a tangent about how greed is good at one point in the game.
And that lame ass smug giggle with which he delivered his trash talk. What a weak ass wimp Ja is. And Brooks. Love JJJ and Bane is really good, but the heart and soul of the Grizz is soft as Charmin'.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find a thread on Butler, so I'm sticking it here. This clip is great.

I don’t want to spoil it, but what happens when Jimmy takes his sweats off is laugh out loud funny.
It’s kinda funny that they lost by 40 in game 7… wonder if he respects the lakers now.
Yeah, I feel bad for the Kings and their fans already. A Golden State-Lakers, LBJ-Steph battle for best in California is the NBA’s dream.
I think the NBA may not much care who wins tomorrow night. Sacramento offing the old guard to emerge as the new guard, and then having a battle with the Lakers for California supremacy, is just as good a story. Here is this upstart team with everything they need to succeed, now being put to the test. Warriors are yesterday's story, neutrals are bored with them, Kings are the young and exciting group.
And they're all losing to the Nuggets / Suns winner anyway, as that is the "real" WCF imo, so milk this one while ya got it.
So sad if true: do we know who's officiating? He would miss his opportunity to fuck with CP3 today, jus sayin'.
Man, I hope you’re right. I think the Warriors may be the last team who can beat LA in the west.
We won’t know until tomorrow, but Foster isn’t doing Suns/Nugs today, that’s Marc Davis’s crew.
People are really overreacting to LA beating a very, very flawed Memphis team that also ran out of players.
I didn't make out everything Teague was saying, but it sounded more like Jimmy wanted to get paid and less he wanted to motivate his teammates.
