The Indy Talks To Himself (NBA) Thread.

Yeah I know the feeling. Vols, Braves, Peyton Manning, Knicks in the 90s.

It just makes me happy knowing someone else is cursed too

 

I have had two Super Bowls and a National Championship. So, some moments. I have some family who are Vikings fans. It could always be worse.

 

Honestly, if I were Milwaukee, I might even think about trading Giannis and getting a shit ton of draft picks. That's three playoff games in two years in which the coach sat Giannis for the beginning of the 4th in a must win game to allow an aging collection of role players to get ass raped for 3-4 minutes and throw the season away. Better to get some building blocks for Giannis before he goes to a coach who can actually win.

 

Every single Harden drive is an automatic foul call. He’s got as many FT’s as the Lakers by himself, and some of the foul calls have been incredibly soft.

 

I don’t understand giving Rondo so many minutes in his first game back. He’s a major liability on defense, the team was in a great rhythm leading into this game without him, and he’s obviously going to take some time to get back into the swing of things.

 

I haven’t really watched the Rockets this season. Does Harden get these sorts of calls all the time? It’s borderline ridiculous at this point.

 

The Lakers defense has been so odd tonight. I’m not sure I like leaving so many shooters open just to double Harden.

 

You really think the NBA would rather have a vested Milwaukee market instead of a Miami market?

 

Can’t imagine watching a team with John Starks and voluntarily choosing to cheer for them.

 

Yes, I absolutely think the league wants their back to back MVP in the playoffs over a bunch of no names and a not overly well-liked Jimmy Butler.

 

They might want that. If Milwaukee wasn’t the 35th TV market.
No one of note outside of Milwaukee is tuning in to see Giannis go 7-21, and 0-7 from 3.

 

It’s not about just this one game or this one series, with Giannis. The NBA desperately needs him to take the next step in his career and move towards becoming the face or at least one of the faces of the league. He’s going the wrong direction.

 

If that block call stands...

Every time James Harden drives, it’s a foul.

 

Rondo getting this many minutes in his first game back is coaching malpractice.

 

Tim Legler saying the same thing about the Bucks defense I said for months, they can't guard the 3 point line because they can't stop the drive and repeatedly drop down to cover the basket, leaving a man wide open at the perimeter. Miami has too many killer shooters and they would beat 95 times out of 100 due to this critical ineptitude on the defensive end. I'll also remind people we are paying Khris Middleton $30 million. Khris. Middleton. Throw in Eric Bledsoe at $16 million. Amazing.

 

Allan Houston was why I started watching them. They were always on NBC on Sunday afternoon.

 

Are you me?

 

Nuggets pissing game 2 away.

 

Pat Bev basically dares the refs to call a foul on him 2 possessions in a row. They waited til the 3rd foul on the second possession before FINALLY calling it, and then he has the nerve to argue with them to the point of being ejected. What a douche.

 

Giannis out. Game over.
