you're failing at your goal and continue to fail at logic. if your argument is that he deserves all his FTs, you need to start explaining it. everyone else's argument is that he doesn't. the fact that you claim to hate his flopping sort of validates this opinion. so again, not sure what you're doing. if you're defending the objectivity of nba officiating, i've got a bridge to sell you. and before you go to your standard line: no, i don't need to explain why refs aren't infallible, only to acknowledge that they are.
Lowry is absolute garbage in the postseason. Great player when the lights aren't on in the regular season, but once the playoffs start he just can't keep up his level of play. Shaq says a lot of dumb things on air, but he's spot on when he says Toronto needs Lowry to step it up.
What's the non-conspiracy Harden argument? 1. Dude is the best foul drawing flopper in the history of the game and the refs are truly that incompetent? 2. Harden flops but not as much as we think. Most of his fts are legit.
I don't either. Wizards have the best chance because of their spectacular guard play. Wall will eat Kyrie's lunch and will also give him a tough time on the other end. They have more depth. Ultimately the Cavaliers probably win, but I think the Wizards are the one team and probably only team in the East that could pose any kind of threat to the Cavaliers. C Bags, Bulls, Hawks, or Raptors would likely get swept. Wizards might push the series to 7.
To be fair, he got 6 free throws off of his elbow getting hit while shooting 3's last game. The foul calls he got yesterday seemed legit.
It would be such a fairy tale story if the Wizards could beat the Cavs, and they make it to the finals. John Wall is very likeable to me and he's been proving himself as a PG. Anything but another Warriors/Cavs finals or a finals with any of those two teams in it.
I never seen a player fall off so dramatically as far as production goes, as much as Lamarcus Aldridge has.
The play has gotten physical. They're letting some stuff go which is a good thing. Nothing like good physical playoff basketball.
This Spurs Grizzlies match-up is so much better than last season. The Western conference is far more entertaining considering some of the teams are equally competitive.
Kawhi Leonard... Just great. Unflappable. Not scared of the moment. No theatrics after a big play. Shaded Conley on d too.
