NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

I'm remembering why I don't watch the NBA. This is ******* atrocious.

5 technicals on the Pacers. This is egregious.

There doesn’t have to be some grand conspiracy for the officials to thumb on the scale a little in what’s essentially a knockout game 3. I really feel the Pacers got a pretty raw deal in all three of these games but the first two was just typical home court.

The play where Carlisle got his first T, either they didn’t want the Pacers to come back or they weren’t even watching the play. That’s 100% an obvious foul every single time, every game.

There were dozens of plays like that that I saw. Pacers would get a rebound, Cavs displace/OTB, foul called on Pacers. None of it made sense.

Very frustrating game. The officials have been pro Cleveland each game but this game was over the top bad. The announcers were equally bad in my opinion.

Yeah they tried to give Cleveland game 2 but Pacers went legend.

Looks like Porter finally decided to show up.

Officiating not much better in this game either

Garden going to be electric tomorrow. Probably on level of Garden in the 90's

Bilas doing nba playoff games is different.

Murray playing really well. Nuggs need to get over the hump and not miss their open shots.

 

[Cyched]

OT!

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

OT time!

So did the script writers put adversity in for OKC for their success this year or building towards next year in a redemption arc?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Nuggets!

 

[Cyched]

Curtains

 

[Cyched]

Hell of a game.

You absolutely feel good when you gut out a win with Jokic having a mediocre game (20 pts ha)

Murray played an amazing game.

For whatever reason I hated the Knicks in the 90s but I can see how they were easy to cheer for from the fanbase.

Hated them then too but mainly because they were Bulls main rival.

Don't have a problem with this version on the Knicks. Lot of likeable guys.

It’s the media coverage that keeps my hate for them going more than players or coaches on the team now. Only the Knicks get this massive jerkoff praise for winning 50 games.

The key to the Nuggs/Thunder will be Gordon. OKC is playing their two bigs and letting Chet play safety to help on Jokic. Gordon was so open on his game tying 3 bc Chet was worried about Jokic. This has done a good job of handcuffing Jokic but they are in danger of letting the others beat them.
