*** Official 2015-16 NBA Playoff Thread ***

If KD and Westbrook play both ends like they did last night they are going to be hard to take out. There are 4 players who are clearly on a level above every other player still playing basketball and OKC has two of them.
 
That game felt good. For the record, **** Draymond. It's ridiculous how so many people were still trying to justify that as contact from the shooting foul.

His left leg stayed completely vertical yet they're suggesting his right leg would move parallel to the floor in a "natural" motion when your hand gets bumped while the ball is still below your waist?
 
Warriors now have to win 3 out of 4 against OKC. Not saying they can't do it, but they're up against it now.

True, but lets remember the Warriors are the only team in league history to not have lost back to back games the whole year. Assuming GS bounce back and win on Tuesday then best 2 of 3 with 2 of those games in Oakland. I still see this as a 50/50 series with a epic game 7 likely. This is going to be fun.

I expect Green to skip like a little girl on all of his jumpers from now on. The guy can shoot it so little kids around the country need to start kicking their feet forward on the follow through of open jumpers.

For real. His on court behavior this series feels like Lance Stephenson 2.0.

So i take it you think Kane meant to eye poke the BYU guy and that Hogue meant to flying kick the WV guy. I put Green's kick in the same realm as those. Playing hard and fast and limps are flying everywhere.

I wouldn't want to be the one making these decisions, but series and championship altering suspensions have been given out for far less in the past.

Hogue's kick is a very similar play and a great comparison. Both were dirty plays clearly worthy of being punished.

I think Kane's eye poke was inadvertent though.

If Green is out for Game 4, the Warriors are in trouble. Still possible for them to win the last 3 if they drop to 1-3, but after the way OKC has played, I wouldn't count on it.

dirty? so you think hogue did it on purpose? I personally don't consider it dirty because hogue didn't do it on purpose. Like I said in the heat of battle going 100 mph limbs flail.

It was dirty. We were down by what, 30? Kane was having a bad game and the team couldn't get it going without him. The rough crowd got into their heads.

That is not a limb flailing.

Yes I do. That was an insanely dirty game all the way through and a very tense atmosphere. Hogue is an emotional player and WVU had been rewarded for playing dirty the entire game, surprised more players don't snap in games against WVU where the officials decide to reward their foulball by swallowing the whistle.

We will agree to disagree, he didn't mean to do the flying kick, was he ****** yes but going that hard to get a rebound with legs flailing. Green was the same way imo.
 
Green's kick to the nuts was intentional, why the "heat of play" BS?



Maybe he'll flex next time he does it.

Yeah that's definitely intentional
