This site is the same as it ever was. It’s just that there is a lot more opportunity for meltdowns because the team has been bad for several years now. The meltdowns that were very common in the playoffs are now present in regular season games

Sometimes you don't have to wait until you get lost if you already see you're heading in the wrong direction... it's better to course correct... Sohan doesn't have natural passer instincts like Tre... And he can't penetrate like like a LeBron (huge PG that can penetrate... Pause)... A PG needs to be able to do at least one of these to be effective

Sochan is a huge benefit on defense and does a lot of other little things. I'd rather give him a lot more than 4 games to try to settle into the role. Besides, they both finished the Phoenix game down the stretch. Starting isn't always the most important thing.

:cry:cry "They fouled him, the refs didn't call it," Vogel said. "They whacked him on the arm before the ball gets ripped out of his hands. No call. In a situation like that, we try to get a quick inbounds to our 90% free-throw shooter, and we did." :cry:cry

Altho Tre did foul him.:lol Check the :37 vicinity below.

:37 mark you can clearly see Tre had jumped up and completely lands on Durbetta. It's foul.
Take your homer glasses off.

But yes refs generally let that slide and we have ZERO tears for Durbetta.

[R. DeMurre]

Reggie Miller is literally saying "they might want to call a time out to advance it" as the Spurs get the steal. Vogel & the Suns can complain all they want, but they played the situation like the game was already over, and have nobody to blame but themselves. I'm actually a Durant fan, but him not blocking out or even noticing Wemby on that putback was a crucial mistake... if the situations had been reversed, people would've called it a rookie mistake.

Suns did that to themselves... being outscored 33-19 in the fourth :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs fouled when Tre hit KD in the face, although it was only his finger and not that obvious depending on the angle. If you have watched the NBA long enough you know that the refs don't call light fouls at the end of the game to let the players decide it.

[sfernald]

So I started watching this game and saw it was immediately going really badly so I didn’t want to watch another blowout, so I looked up the final score and I couldn’t believe they turned it into a close game and won. So I proceeded to watch the game which was a complete blowout and I’m still not really sure how spurs won. It was like the suns just vomited up and the spurs swallowed at the end. Not very satisfying watching pop avoiding playing Wemby as much as the rest of the team is avoiding passing to him. That come from behind win was the shittiest of come from behind wins I’ve seen in a long time.

They did it on Durant. You don't think KD is the most coddled player in the modern era? He was three feet out of bounds once and the ref, standing there, failed to even blow the whistle.

Nah bro this was a no call.

[JADG79]

The mistake was not calling a timeout after Wemby's dunk as Reggie Miller mentioned after that play to advance the ball to half court.

What an emotional game.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Just curious -- what were your expectations of a team going into the season who's average age doesn't even qualify for cheaper car insurance?

I expected them to be able to execute drive and kick basketball.
I expected Vic to be above the average NBA player attacking via the dribble, which he may get to this season, or maybe he won't.


When I say everyone on the team can only just barely dribble the ball, it's not much of an exaggeration, and it's a huge problem that will keep games well out of our reach more often than not. If Keldon or someone starts tenaciously attacking off the bounce with consistency, I'll feel differently. I say Keldon because I have seen flashes of it from him. He needs to lock in his confidence and keep an aggressive downhill mindset. If he doesn't, they can just keep right on losing and we'll draft a confident bouncy cross-overy guard/wing in the lottery. I am just fine either way.

[MultiTroll]

As a member of.....
The Golden Phaggots.

But yes Durbetta is a coddled phaggot and i was pleasantly stunned he did not get the foul called on Tre there.

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Try doing that to any one of the Golden Phaggots at the end of a game. You'll see a call.

Curry averages 4.3 FTA per game his career. The first season he scored 30 PPG he did it on 5.1 FTAs. The most FTs he's ever got was 6.5 which was last season, where the Dubs had no one else to help him on offense.

Durant averages 7.6 and has had multiple seasons approaching 10 FTA. Curry's career high FTA is lower than KD's average.

Not even in the same ballpark of official coddling.

[MultiTroll]

^^
Great.

Now tell me the # of Curry shots that are a result of blatant screening fouls by Mouthbreather and other Golden Phaggots.
Particularly during the *Championship* run.

What sad is these 2 coddled phaggots were on the same team.
We hadn't seen rigging like that since the Kobme Shaq / Kobme MVPau eras.

Can we get a painting / still shot of the moment right after KJ ripped the ball from Durbetta?
Tre is holding Durbettas arm as if to say "Give it up Pampered One, this is over." :lol

Oooo it took you exactly one post to backpedal.

Curry is the greatest FT shooter in the league, if the refs wanted to hand him 4 more PPG for his career on a platter they could and no one would bat an eye. You're literally talking about the greatest shooter of all-time who's won multiple MVPs is still shooting under 5 FTs per game his entire career. There's 0 chance you can argue that he gets every call with the amount of contact he takes every game. It's a non-starter.

RE: Screens, moving screens are set by every team in the league and the refs never call it, not sure what your point is that GSW does it too. None of that changes the fact that the Dubs would much rather Curry get more fouls called from contact than the refs swallow their whistle like they do for every other team in the league.

Bruh.

Your initial argument was that Curry got whistles. You literally said that.

Now your argument is the officials actually swallowed them when I pointed out that Steph shoots a historically low FTA for MVP-level players. Steph could have been sent to the line 3-4 more times per game and it wouldn't have been outside the statistical norms for his playstyle and level of skill.

Your goalposts shifted literally 180 degrees in a single post from you.

And of course this shit is only talked about because the Dubs hit their shots. Way easier to win games getting whistles and going to the line while putting your opponents in constant foul trouble like several teams got over the years. Imagine Curry if you weren't allowed to touch him like they did with Kobe/Wade/etc for the past 2 decades. And I'm not even saying the Warriors didn't get their fair share of whistles over other teams. Just the idea that they put Curry on the line for everything has no statistical merit.

[rascal]

So much attention on KJ.
I thought it was Tre who fouled him. Also did a great job distracting Durbetta which helped KJ make the pick.

Tears for Durbetta = zero.

[Chinook]

KD's always struck as a real dude IRL, which is why his heel turn was shocking to a lot of folks. He was the dude who saw Westbrook piss away multiple high stakes games and never threw him under the bus. Sure, the trade request was a bad look, but I can't say it was wrong. Online KD is obviously a different story. Dude's been super weird there forever. But it's not all that shocking that he's take the high road about something that was unintentional and incidental, especially in a regular-season game.
