Because it relies on getting foul calls. If you dont get those calls its a turnover. Stars like Harden, Westbrook, Lebron, Curry, Durant, CP3 ect get those calls. Your average player won't get them.

Exactly. Though I don't think Curry gets the calls the other guys do on that list... But Harden and Westbrook are the worst... They iniate the contact almost always. Yet they get so many calls.

 

[LionPride]

Do you have stats to back up the bolded?

This is one of those times where I have to bring up one of the truest tests, your eyes. Your superstars and Stars can get away with doing that shit, but not your role player off the bench

Curry don't get those calls... hell, he doesn't even attempt them 99% of the time. Draymond on the other hand started doing it this year. I'm sure he learned it from Durant.

INGLES GETTING THAT PAYCHECK

 

[NoctisVsStar]

ISO Joe about that life

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Did...Did Butler call Smart a fake tough guy? Did he really say Smart wasn't bout that life?

Yikes

He's probably right. He didn't flinch when Nene headlocked him, so if anyone knows about fake tough guys, it's him.

Smart flops too much to be considered tough anyway. I refuse to call floppers tough.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I love that LA is forced to double Joe Johnson. In 2017.

BALLMER SHOOK

 

[Slizeezyc]

A wild sad Ballmer appears!

[NervousXtian]

Clips choked this one away.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

lmao reddick got shut DOWN in this series

I mean he's basically korver 2.0 you need set plays for him.

 

[Tommy DJ]

Good god, Joe Johnson is shooting 12/16? Dude is like 35 years old, was he just hot or were the Clippers just terrible?

 

[jdstorm]

Kevin Durant drew 4.5 fouls a game this season for golden state. The 4th most frequent guy got around 2 fouls a game.

Thats just off the top of my head. But I'm sure if you wanted to you could draw up a table that compared the mean fouls drawn by players that make all NBA teams compared to league average.

 

[darkwing-buck]

BEAT LA!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

He aint do all this on the Heat tho. WTF

Iso in prime LePass mode right now.

Smart's been shot at, a lot. Jimmy and Smart are tough people, ain't gonna call either one a fake tough guy.

 

[NervousXtian]

Quin Snyder would make a good Joker.

How did Hayward get food poisoning? Where is he eating?

 

[neptunes]

I've never seen an arena so white

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Salty cp3 feels bad man

 

[panthapanda]

Good god, Joe Johnson is shooting 12/16? Dude is like 35 years old, was he just hot or were the Clippers just terrible?

JJ can ball. His game ages well. He was never the athletic type. He could go a couple more if his body is up to it.

 

[MPW]

Clippers gonna clip

 

[Hitta93]

It could be true, don't really know. Do you consider Lou Williams a star?

Good god, Joe Johnson is shooting 12/16? Dude is like 35 years old, was he just hot or were the Clippers just terrible?

He had a pretty good season in Miami last season. Just surprised he chose Utah to sign with.

 

[Zantetsuken]

The Clippers just don't have it.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Clips choked this one away.

Script got flipped when CP3 got called for what looked like a non-existent travel.
Clips never recovered... just fell apart. from up 5 to down 8.

 

[Slizeezyc]

How did Hayward get food poisoning? Where is he eating?

Working theory is CP3 spit in his soup.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Johnson the god!!

 

[Surfinn]

Go jazz

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Joe Johnson got that solid country raised build. He gonna ball til 40 barring injury.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Hate that fucking foul.

I've seen a ton of Harden and Lou 3 pt fouls.

CP3 did not do that. He went to the side, that was a rip through, the old KD move

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Gobert 25 total minutes in the series. Hayward misses crucial game 4. Series tied 2-2.

This was the night that I felt we got the Clippers best shot and we held out.

I'm feeling confident, we weathered the storm and broke even.

I fucking love Rudy "I'm gonna try and play more than 17 seconds"

 

[Surfinn]

A rip through I can live with. Fucking hooking someone to get three free throws is bullshit

 

[Hitta93]

Pretty much the same thing.

 

[Surfinn]

Pretty much the same thing.

Deciding to shoot because a defender is in a particular position and wrapping your arm around someone's body are the same thing.. Hmm

And Kawhi isn't that good

 

[LionPride]

You wanna talk about something that a person won't live down...lol.

Pissed I missed the game because I was at a prom, but goddamn, my Grizzlies did me proud and so did Kawhi.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Pretty much the same thing.

not when the person being hooked wasn't even defending you or going for the ball....
it's just a cheap loophole foul that needs to be addressed.
(I wish I could find the vid of Harden doing today in the OKC game)
and even if they were defending you, when you use your free other hand to hook the persons arm, and then bring that other hand to the ball to make a fake shot attempt, the refs should see right through that. It's basically offensive holding, and contact initiated by the offense, and therefore should be reclassified as an Offensive Foul.

a rip through is a little different as usually both hands are already on the ball, and the defender is usually straight up with you, and hands reached out. that's more of a 1 on 1 challenge of quickness.

If Harden was doing rip through's, I don't think anyone would have an issue.

 

[Hitta93]

Play defense like Draymond does and it won't be an issue either. We'll just see if the NBA changes the rule or not.

 

[Surfinn]

It's a joke

It's time to let it go. Rebuild from the ground up. LA will have no one to cheer for

 

[LionPride]

jazz in 7

We've been asking that for three years now? Along with the age old question of, will people understand that Doc ain't a good coach?

I think the answer to both of these are yes

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Clips lost? Too bad.

 

[Marz]

Hell yea that's the Jazz team I know. WTF @ Hayward not playing in the second half

 

[Caddywompus]

I feel like LAC will run this team into the ground unless a BOS/NJ like trade sends the entire future of a franchise back to the Clippers.

If they are competitive they will keep butts in their sets and be the main LA attraction while the Lakers rebuild. If they blow the team up who knows how long it will take them to be relevant again so milk this squad as long as you can.
