2021 NBA playoffs thread

The NBA is a much more free flowing and exciting game than CBB, I would be just fine if they didn't change it.

If you won't watch the NBA because of fouls, then there is no way you could handle watching the college game. The reaction is mostly from people who don't watch anyway or who's teams lose to the guys who know how to make the rules work for them.
 
Kudos to NBA, you have done the right thing!

The potential rule change will better help the flow of basketball while undercutting free-throw attempts and non-basketball moves.



it’s going to be really difficult, but good nonetheles. They are often still “basketball moves” but at a slower pace.

As a Nuggets fan, I hope they give Porter Jr. a bit of a break cause the right leg kickout is sort of due to his back problems..

Rewarding fouls like with Hardens famous signature move isn’t good basketball and isn’t fun. Refs can definitely fix it. Blows my mind how many just fall for it every time when players flail to get a call.

We reward it all the time though, what Harden does is no different than a big guy head faking and jumping into the defender or Lebron bulldozing directly into the defender to draw contact, then making a basketball move. I agree that the refs can fix it, I even think they've done better in the playoffs than than the regular season, it just shouldn't take any changes in the rules of the game. The refs just need to be better and recognize it. No need for it to be a foul, just don't give them call.

The shot clock modifications have helped.

If we tried that in college the "rebound" lady would probably be yelling "shot clock" at Hilton non stop.

Cade Cunningham to the Pistons is not an ideal situation. I wish he could have landed to a better franchise. A good franchise with winning culture knows how to use and develop elite talents.

**** yeah, my Magic gonna **** it up by drafting two busts in the top ten!

Orlando wins that trade with Chicago. Chicago gets Orlando's best player can't make the playoffs giving Orlando a bonus lottery pick.

New management in Chicago but same old **** results.
 
This playoffs have been Reggie Jackson's coming out party
Really hard fought first half.
True about Jackson. I would say since the two big stars (left) for both teams, George and Booker, only have 9 pts ea. at half, whichever of those two has the breakout 2nd half, that team will win tonight.

I know, your welcome, thank you, thank you.
