    Thanks. I didn't think the ball had to fully leave his hands when it's in the cylinder?

    Did the rule change? Is it different from college or something? I've always heard that once the ball is halfway through the cylinder, it's a basket. It doesn't matter if the hand is on it or not. The ball is out of play at that point because it's a score. Not sure if something changed.
    This is exactly what I have always thought, but I don't ever remember a game winning situation to challenge that. I always thought that once the ball is in, it's a score as there was no chance of it coming out. Also, if someone shoots a shot and it's in the cylinder and someone pokes it out from underneath, it's a score as it was already in the cylinder, so why wouldn't it be a score if it's dunked in also?

    It’s not unprotected, it’s #1 overall protected. Also, a pick isn’t near the same thing as a swap.
    Of course it is since we were talking about hypothetical scenario of trading it back to the Wolves.



    Dame's career is probably over if we're talking being a serious contributor. Shame, but this was his last chance either way, he had to take the risk.

    Very sad about Dame. Perhaps there’s no correlation but him ramping up so quickly to come back from the DVT sure seemed like malpractice.

    Bucks are screwed cap-wise and don’t control their picks until 2031. Brutal.
    Yeah, they done. They will trade the Greek Freak. It has to happen. They will take a pick package.

    Cory Joseph starting in the Playoffs in the year 2025 is quite surreal.

    Lakers not doing well is expected. I was totally wrong on the warriors. Didn’t count on them being too good and I thought the rockets defence would be able to stifle a past his peak curry. Bucks is a disappointment, Indiana isn’t even a decent team and will be destroyed by the cavs in the next round though.

    Was rooting hard for the pistons but then they got screwed over in the last game and lost a tight on the previous game.

    Orlando isn’t a good team to begin with and I don’t trust paolo at all, that said the Celtics isn’t dominating as much as I thought they would.

    OKC is just killing everyone. Memphis isn’t a good test but it would be hard to see any team in the west. Like cookie Kwan said “#1 on the west side”.

    Nuggets are so poorly constructed but Jokic is just insane. To think that they gave his mvp to embiid a couple of years ago is just comical. NO question Jokic is the goat offensive player at this point. And also ring count is about as overrated as it gets when it comes to evaluating players, and that’s with Duncan winning five.

    I'm old enough to remember the "Lakers in 8!" taunts in 1999.

    And it ended with us closing down the coke and aids forum forever

    I was shocked when I heard the commentator saying his name, told myself it had to be another Curtis Joseph

    Ok thanks :

    These reports are so pointless. Even Hart said the same thing that he'll wait for the 2min report knowing it don't matter regardless cause the game is over.

    The reports would be good if there was any accountability.
    I don't understand how are the refs allowed to preside over themselves.
    They have the best job security in the world. Refs who make game changing mistakes, especially in the playoffs, shouldn't be allowed to ref more playoff games that season.
    Instead, nothing happens. Business as usual.

    Or maybe it’s just the NBA trying to get the biggest market team to the 2nd round instead of ing Motown

    I really think Ja was right, that Memphis was doing well against OKC until Dort dirty-played him and took him out. They would have won game 3 and then game 4 was fairly close without him.

    Two years in a row -- OKC got a very injured NOP team last year in the first round.

    Dame tearing his Achilles after coming back so fast from DVT is brutal, I feel bad for the bucks fans. This is probably the end of Giannis in Milwaukee imo, bet he'll demand a trade in the offseason

    Fully agree. And I remember games close like this in the past where it was clear as day that the lost would have occurred if a foul had been called or not called.

    I feel like a rule should be in place where those calls can be reversed and game result changed. Now I know it wouldn't apply to this one since Hardaway still has to make his free throws but it would be a clear line drawn. Issue is the true deciding factor these days is gambling so this would never actually happen. If anything, these reports are just to judge refs accuracy and take away big games/playoffs if they suck or reward them playoffs if they have the fewest errors caught.

    It was a no call. You can’t even review that.

    To me, if it’s a close game, and a close call, make the foul call, and let replay/review sort it out.

    Good point, and that is what should happen, but refs lean towards not making any calls in those last seconds more likely than not which sucks.

    However if a call had been made and wrong, I was referring to making a rule to strengthen the 2min after game report by allowing a change, even if it means a team loses, if it's blatant. As I said before, probably will never come about though.

    Have only watched a handful of playoff games thus far, but man it's clear how far the Spurs are from competing at that level tbh. I really hope they can bring in a competent coach that can turn this program around quick.

    The franchise has been one of the worst 3 this decade, it isn't even debatable tbh.

    Agreed but I would say Amen has the physical tools to be a star, but it comes down to him fixing his jump shot which will be a tall task.
    Id say a jump shot is fixable...but you can never fix stupid...

    another stupid thing...

    early in the game - the idiot piston coach LISTENED to his player calling for a review and the score might have been like 4-2 or 4-0 - barely the start of the game...

    moron coach fell for it - lost the challenge - and instead of being able to challenge a call in the closing moments - he believed his stupid ass player begging for a review on an inconsequential out of bounds call

    just mind-numbing stupid

    i think even POP would have saved that call - for later in the game..

    (lolol - but then at the end Pop would have REFUSED to use any challenge at all!)

    Franchise drafted the ROY, acquired a good veteran guard for nothing, squeezed draft picks and swaps out of nothing, is in good financial shape.

    SpursTalk: I hate this franchise, they're the worst ever.
