I don't get the point of NBA's (interminable) replay system if you can't go back and review potentially game-deciding plays like that. Same deal with NFL's arbitrary "unreviewable" play bullshit. That said, him drilling a game winning 3 immediately after makes it a moot point. Sure there's a butterfly effect element where maybe Indiana defends the last possession differently or Lebron goes for a game-tying 2 instead. But really there was only 3 seconds on the clock and seemed clear Lebron was set on taking the shot he took 100 times out of 100 and there's little Indiana could or would do to stop that.

They had a foul to give, so they could made it even harder to hit a walk off shot. That said, the Cavs got hosed on a few calls late too. It happens.

Sour Billy Tipton Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Love the Sixers getting atleast 5 days rest before round 2. Hope game 7 between the Bucks and Celtics goes to quadruple OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Billy Tipton Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Stevens has done a great job developing Smart and Brown. And Ainge adding Tatum was huge. But their future is dependent on how Kyrie and Hayward recover. Specifically Kyrie. Two knee surgeries in the same season, not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Should be a fun night. We got three elimination games. I'm predicting that Washington and OKC survive while Indiana gets knocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingintheNorth4 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Wow. Paul George was fouled on that 3 point attempt. Stevie Wonder could've seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, and the previous one on George was probably a shooting foul as well (they called it on the floor). That being said, I kinda don't mind it since Utah deserved it. It would have been such a shame for them to lose this game. (Though they will probably get swept by Houston now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG was 2 for 16 and was outscored by Melo in this game. they combined for 12 total points. That's.....just....awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 6 hours ago, Triskele said: Agree that was a clear foul, but OKC missed soooooo many chances that it's harder to sympathize. Who the fuck is this Mitchell character? It's just comical that he goes to a Western team. Next thing, Oladipo will be traded to Sacramento. Mitchell played for UofL and was good, but I didn’t think spectacular. Rick Pitino publicly said he should come back to Louisville and run the point if he wanted to succeed in the NBA... selfish old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
