Lol flagrant 1 on both? What did Della do?



I like LeBron

I take that back.. just flag 1 onhorford.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Della has at least 3 of these incidents in the last few games. Scissoring Taj Gibson's legs, diving back first into Korver's legs, now back first again into Horford.

If you haven't realized yet that he's doing this on purpose, you're being an idiot.

Delly fell into Horford to get him out of the play after he saw Carroll went down. That's not a basketball play that's fuck boy behavior. Its an elongated flop.

As others have said the only thing he did dirty was scissoring Taj's leg which is hardly a big deal.

Horford locked up Delly's left arm and dragged him down, watch the replay.

The other happened when he dove after a loose ball and Korver got in front of him bent over.

 

[thehypocrite]

This isn't rugby and its dangerous.

Not a dirty play though. It seems instinctual to me.

 

[kutthoat5150]

Iggy got his back on that. No worries for Curry

I bet Green would never let shit like that slide either, intentional or not I'm sure he'll have more to say than an elbow tap

 

[ph33nix]

I really enjoy reading how clevelands people see things so differently now

If this was a lebron heat team they'd be calling for a lifetime ban

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

That's your opinion. To me it looks like he's dirty, to you it doesn't. Unless we can read his mind that's all we have, disagreement.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Guy clearly leaned his shoulder into him.

No he didn't. Bazemore was bracing himself. He leaned like maybe a millimeter forward.

I'd only be calling for a lifetime ban if we're talking about that '11 Heat team (mainly because Z was on that team), I have no idea other than that

 

[thehypocrite]

He's playing basketball in the NBA in case he hasn't been informed yet.

I have no problem with the play. It's not a bad thing to protect the ball with his body.

 

[random25]

It's Horford's fault that small guy Delly went down in the first place. I agree that it shouldn't have been Flagrant 2 but Horford did more wrong there and he's not getting the flak here lol.

 

[msdstc]

Hey, one no-content "yeah fuck it I'm blocking you" post compared to 70 trolling shitposts since disappearing for the entire regular season after mid-January is more than a fair trade.



Just like hardly anyone in this thread would've been saying anything about the Cavs outside of LeBron going into the playoffs if the national media wasn't spoonfeeding them narratives like "Blatt is a puppet" and "Kevin Love doesn't contribute anything to this team".

What purpose does it serve? it's childish, nobody cares, including him, who you've blocked.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

A lot of people do have a problem with it, including former players like Reggie Miller.

 

[dream]

Atlanta not retaliating by having someone goon Matty would make them as soft as the Rockets.

 

[Forceatowulf]

That Della dude is dirty. Period. The tape don't lie.

Coincidences my ass...

 

[thehypocrite]

That's your opinion. To me it looks like he's dirty, to you it doesn't. Unless we can read his mind that's all we have, disagreement.

Looks like the refs agree with me though.

 

[BlindRage]

Dell is a dirty player. Ref saw series swinging if Hawks can win. So NBA decided we take the best Hawks player out so bron vs curry happen. Cause who the fuck would watch Hawks vs warriors 😳

 

[ph33nix]

holy fuck STFU reggie

we already know what you said the first, second, third, and fourth times

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Looks like the refs agree with me though.

The refs don't proclaim if a player is dirty or not. That's more of a reputation thing. Refs just call fouls they see.

Horford locked up Delly's left arm and dragged him down, watch the replay.

c'mon man he went into Horford to make sure he fell down. I don't think he went for his knee to injure him on purpose but the way he went into Horford was to make sure he fell as well.

 

[eBay Huckster]

It serves exactly the same purpose as trolling in here: egregiously shitty posting to make myself feel a little better.

I realize it's grade school bullshit and I'm never doing it again, probably unlike Dellavedova.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Mosgov what a block.

 

[thehypocrite]

They agree that it wasn't intentional. Are you always this dense?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

They agree that it wasn't intentional. Are you always this dense?

Refs also seemed to think his leg lock didn't happen and ejected Gibson without a technical on dell. So what's your point? Refs are never wrong?

 

[eBay Huckster]

Some of these Cavs 3s keep looking like 2s on TV

So you admit to shitposting due to frustration. way to feed the troll.

HAHAHAHA. this is sad. if the nba had it their way, these series wouldn't be over already. way too much money to be made.

 

[lovely ladies]

holy fuck STFU reggie

we already know what you said the first, second, third, and fourth times

He just talks way too much, he's talking more than Marv.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Hawks are clearly done. They have no desire to continue this.

 

[TheSadRanger]

c'mon man he went into Horford to make sure he fell down. I don't think he went for his knee to injury him on purpose but the way he went into Horford was to make sure he fell as well.

Delly was trying to box out Horford for a possible rebound, Horford locked up Delly's arm and dragged him back. When he dragged him back Delly tripped on Carroll who was down on the ground behind him.

 

[BlindRage]

HAHAHAHA. this is sad. if the nba had it their way, these series wouldn't be over already. way too much money to be made.

My post was half in jest, but I think the nba's dream matchup is very obvious.

 

[alr1ght]

I think Reggie bet on the Hawks or something.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Pretty much impossible to block LeBron on one of those.

 

[thehypocrite]

Refs also seemed to think his leg lock didn't happen and ejected Gibson without a technical on dell. So what's your point? Refs are never wrong?

Refs make plenty of mistakes, however they review those plays after the games & pass judgement on things they could had missed.

If I remember they assigned him a tech for that leg lock, didn't they?

 

[eBay Huckster]

So you admit to shitposting due to frustration. way to feed the troll.

Let's change the subject now because we've already finished this (I know I need to stop shitposting):

Too bad Horford got ejected, because I wanted to see if LeBron would eventually get to 30% with him still in. Muscala ain't nearly as helpful.

 

[msdstc]

My post was half in jest, but I think the nba's dream matchup is very obvious.

wait the 2 best teams in respective conferences you mean? the talent gap in each is staggering. only other team that had a shot at being there were the spurs. Its not fixed, the hawks ate injured and the rockets are lousy, period. occams razor.

 

[blackaroni]

He just talks way too much, he's talking more than Marv.

He's so fucking annoying and I don't even see why they keep him on the air.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You mean like how they reviewed JR Smith flat out punching a guy and only gave him 2 games?

 

[Baroquemantic]

I don't think Delly intentionally goes for the legs or intentionally tries to injure other players, but I do think whenever he falls or dives, he intentionally tries to knock or bring someone on the opposition down too.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Reggie Miller is the worst commentator in the NBA right now.

 

[victreeb3l]

Thats a bitch ass move from Dellvadova

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Wow, Atlanta not rolling over and dying. Kudos to them. Series is pretty much over if they lose this.

 

[random25]

James with a triple double. Really looking for other guys to score.

 

[eBay Huckster]

At this point, I almost expect JR Smith to make off-balance jumpers like the one he just missed

 

[panthapanda]

James just stylin now trying to do the Deion sanders high step

 

[kutthoat5150]

JR keeps trying to back up his claim he likes contested shots with those ugly looks

 

[Tom Penny]

I will be blown away if GS doesn't roll the Cavs. If the line is close I'm betting thousands on GS.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I hate betting on the NBA because of refball (imagine betting on the Kings in that Laker series) but I might just do the same. Vegas loves picking Lebron teams so maybe it will be close enough to justify the money.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Lebron is supernatural.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

ATL staying close, give them credit this game's gonna come down to the wire I think

 

[thehypocrite]

You mean like how they reviewed JR Smith flat out punching a guy and only gave him 2 games?

Yes.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Mack didn't take that 2010 shot, Marv. That was Hayward.
