NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

100% Wemby should have been ejected and no question that was dirty. Lucky he didn’t get suspended.

But the NBA needs to take a hard look at their officiating with respect to big men. Wemby got grabbed/hacked twice before he got that rebound and threw the elbow with no call. This happens to 7+ footers every single game in the NBA.

Meanwhile shooters get the absolute softest calls in the world and have incorporated foul baiting into their game. It’s ridiculous. They need to call the post and perimeter way more consistently.

Mitchell on an absolute heater right now with 40 points, 36 of those in the second half.

Edit: Ended up tying the record for most points in a half of a playoff game at 39. Missed a final free throw to have the outright record.

That sounds like his battle with Murray in the bubble. Seems like they took turns dropping 50 each game, was a great series.

Has this playoffs had more blowouts than most years or just seem that way?

 

[GoHawks]

I'm glad Refs didn't call that foul to end the game 60 ft away

 

[GoHawks]

Terrible selfish mistake by harden and not throwing the lob

Be interesting to look. Seems like there were a lot of alternating blowouts last year.

That was wild. It’s too bad McDaniels and Randall have sucked so much ass this series.
