I just realized that Bogut must have taught Kelly Olynyk how to box out ie face guard the dude and mug him and hope the ref only calls it once in a while
They have never faced this type of defensive intensity except in the Memphis series.....and then Tony Allen went down with his hammy. Playoff defensive intensity is a different animal. Not only do they have to adjust to Cleveland's defense but they are also expending more energy on their own defense which is taking them out of their comfort zone. It will be this way the rest of the series they are going to have to adapt or die.ifmanis5 said:
GS needs to get their shit together. They are playing dumb. Cleveland is bringing it on D but still GS needs to calm the F down
That was the correct no-call. The ball was already beneath the basket ring when it was touched. That is the rule.PC Drunken Friar said:
Really? I would have thought it was offensive interference or something. So that's a rule that no ref or the announcers know?HomeRunBaker said:
That no-call even it out for you?JohnnyTheBone said:
Edit: I kid, I have no idea what's a foul anymore.
If Thompson's hand had come up through the net a millisecond sooner it would have been offensive basket interference. Once the ball clears the basket ring it is a basket.....it doesn't have to go through the net.PC Drunken Friar said:
I only saw the one replay but i'm pretty sure it did pass by the ring.
They reversed it? Like I said the only replay I saw was what they showed but the rule is the ball must go through the ring.....I thought it did but I can't replay it from where i'm at.johnmd20 said:

We are witnessing a choke job by most of the Warriors players. Iggy is their best player right now. Kerr has been a bit shaky, as well (running out of timeouts in OT in Game 2 and his insistence on giving so many minutes to a total stiff like Bogut).
Which team benefits from the refs calling the rules and which benefits from a grinding slug/slog fest?jmm57 said:
It's like euro hockey vs nhl, which refs do you want?
LeBron carrying this group this far is remarkable. I don't care if he's shooting 35%. This isn't Kobe's 6/24 with Gasol and Bynum and Odom.
Here's a group shot of his teammates
