Also, the goaltending call on his dunk was kind of BS, so they balance out. To me the single most questionable call of the game was the moving pick violation on Boogie. I've never seen that called with under a minute to go. ETA: NM, Maith all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 To me it wasn't questionable as to whether it was a foul. It was. He was moving and he threw his shoulder into VV - clearly an illegal screen. The issue is just that illegal screens are almost always a no-call in the Final minute. That turnover in that situation was super impactful on the game, which is something that the refs try and avoid. Although at some point, you take that too far and the final minute just turns to anarchy. I've definitely seen games like that. Young Lebron would often drive to the lane in crunch time and get clearly fouled by three different guys and get no call. Older Lebron learned not to do that.

You could call it on virtually every play...generally you let them play unless you either want to set the tone early or it's egregious. No-one wants to see a close game decided on a call like that so refs generally know to let them play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably just came down to a combination of home court and size differential. I don’t think they call that on a smaller player, but IIRC, Cousins is the second heaviest guy in the league.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Random question. Is there a difference between a torn Achilles and a ruptured Achilles? Also, just to show how large KD’s loss is, the gold standard is 50/40/90. KD for his career in Finals (including his OKC Finals) is 55/45/91. That’s a staggering loss of talent. @Jace, Basilissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you got stabbed in the heart, it could be called a 'Rupture' if sports journalists thought that 'stab' has appeared in too many headlines recently.

I was gonna say, when I think “rupture,” I think O’ren’s father catching that katana in Vol. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Awesome first half. Really well played and competitive throughout. Raptors playing exactly the "swarm 3 guys around Curry/Klay at all times" D I thought they should and GS is still scoring a ton because Klay is a clutch beast and it's opening up room for guys like Iggy/Looney to contribute. I've lost count of how many games I'm sure Looney won't play and then he shows up all the same. Did not expect Lowry to be this unstoppable. 21/6/6 in the first half? Unreal. Woulda thought the Raptors would be cruising if you told me they drained 9 threes in a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
