NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

Heard the analogy recently that Tyrese is a modern day John Stockton. I liked that because he makes his teammates so much better and can score when needed, but never his main thing. Problem is no Malone so the hate comes to him when scoring numbers low and lose.
 
It’s too bad that the parents of the Pacers players didn’t name them all Donovan Mitchell. It seems that would have made a difference in their ability to get calls tonight.

A few of them in second half of both games have been ridiculous calls, specifically Mitchell just throwing himself into people but no contact gets called on other end. Pacers had the foul on the big block that was a blown call in their favor but otherwise both of these games have been outrageous home cooking.

With kids I can’t watch super close so unsure what to say about officiating

Similar to second half of game 1. Mitchell can’t be breathed on but other side a Pacer needs to bleed, nowhere near same standard to draw a foul.

Only one foul on Mitchell was bs, but 5-6 obviously similar plays on other end no whistle with contact.

Mitchell intentional stupid foul AGAIN not called. That one could’ve hurt somebody. Refs just so far up his rear.

Worst call of the playoffs. Nesmith could’ve been seriously injured.
 
Finally! It took Mitchell intentionally hitting a guy in the face. Seriously he should have fouled out just in q4.
