Happy we are going to be up 2-0.
Unhappy about some of the bailout calls we received to get a lead back and how pathetically easy we gave up a huge playoff lead. Again.

I wonder how he'd operate with the Houston Rockets to be honest. Yeah he's sort of like a traffic cone against fast guards but a big man shooting 3s like he's doing is sort of hilarious.

He's still too low on the volume, and he lacks the mobility to put him at PF anymore. He would have to play center, and that means the PF has to be a rim-diving athletic type.
He really isn't.

I dunno I mean I got slammed for calling Westbrook and harden inefficient in scoring and maybe that's because I see Leonard shooting insanely efficient most games and I'm used to it. 37/11 on 9/14 shooting. Crazy.
Holy shit I'm dead LOL

Harden isn't inefficient, it's just that people often forget to take free throws into consideration.
Also, Kawhi 19 FTA to the Grizzlies' 15 FTA total. WTF
Do you just not watch basketball?
Bad officiating all around. To the credit of Kawhi he's learnt how to draw fouls some time in the offseason but 32 to 15 free throws is just wack. Not much you can do about it if you're the Grizzlies.

I do, I just don't share the same opinion as you.
...he's not that good, because he's great?

Wow fizdale just went off in the presser. Fine incoming.
oh I know he can shoot.
he gave me the greatest nba smile when he destroyed LeBron and the heat in game 5
The number of times I've looked up from my coffee to see him take a lazy shot from the arc and it's gone in...

Not too good, gonna post a streamable when I find one
Harden's true shooting % is higher than Kawhi's this year

Randolph kept getting hit on the forearm, didn't get a single call, and the refs were getting pissed when he was getting annoyed at it.

Well, shit, alright then. I think it's stupid you get fined for calling out the refs, especially when there is some blatant bias and blind eye going on. I don't know if calling them out does you any favors, but the bullshit refereeing is a mjor turn off to so many of the games I've watched.
I didn't watch this game past the opening of the 2nd quarter, but the were tons of BS calls/non-calls in the Celtics/Bulls game, always in every Warriors game and quite few of the other playoff games I watched this weekend. I know the refs are lowkey undercover fans too, but sometimes it's just soo bad it almost becomes unwatchable.
so I didn't see what they were frustrated about tonight, but that Curry video posted a few pages back reminds of exactly what the Grizz fans must be feeling tonight, especially since it likely cost you an very important game. Dubs fans still feel that pain from the finals last year.
"I'm not a numbers guy but here's every metric of tonight's game"
He ended up having a really bad night. 1/9 FGs and 0/5 3's.

Only caught like a quarter of the game but the grizzlies were screwed by the refs over and over again.
The spurs would have won anyway but the refs were doing a terrible job of making it a fair game

You always have to think the refs jobbed it when a star player scores more points of FT than actual FGA lol
Yes it's the Spurs fault the refs were ass this game

Good for Fizdale. Same nonsense the Grizzlies (among other star-less teams) have dealt with for far too long. They still will, of course, thanks to the WWE aspect of the NBA, but I'm glad someone decided to shed some light on it. I was just thinking that current Spur, Pau Gasol, once asked for a trade from the very team he's going up against for some of the reasons Fiz highlighted in his presser. I remember when he would go up against guys like Jermaine O'Neal and Amar'e Stoudemire and get no calls ...then he asked for that trade to L.A. and somehow managed to drop off very little in FTA despite transitioning from a first option to a second. Funny how that works.
He spoke nothing but truth, so fuck it, and fuck the fine.
Officiating was ass, we have just been conditioned to expect it for smaller market teams and just ignore the shit. Especially in the post season where everyone has their mind made up already about who will be alive at the end and who wont.

The Spurs aren't small market? I mean, they aren't as small as Memphis, but do you really think the NBA gives a shit about the Spurs? I'm sure they'd be most happy with a Rockets/Warriors WCF.

my boy Kawaii was going all out tonight, that move and dunk near the end was cold blooded.
The Spurs organization gives the league prestige.
Was that Tyronne Lue on the Clipper bench in one of the clips? Let's just cull like 4 years of video for missed calls and weave a conspiracy out of it. Yea he gets held and knocked off route more than anyone else(did you think it was going to be Roberson?) and that stuff is generally not called, it's not something to complain about.
Chris Paul is the best at it, he's always wrestling. It's 7d chess with the refs like go ahead, be the guy to call 5 off ball fouls on Paul in the first quarter, see how that works out for you.
Lol plz. All these look like is that he needs to hit the weight room. Imagine if he came into the NBA just a decade earlier he would be getting straight up mugged. This is a big boys league if refs called off the ball fouls or called fouls on every 3 where a player got bumped after the ball had left his hands they would be blowing the whistle on almost every play.

or they'd be calling a foul for Harden, either way.
which was kinda the point of the video when it got posted earlier in the day, was that Curry gets no calls for being the superstar NBA player he is.The only Warrior to get the superstar calls on the Dubs is Durant, and he brought that ability with him. If Steph even got 1/4 of the calls where he got fouled, the Warriors would probably never lose a game though.

Kahwi "Not that Good" Leonard ...
During the Stern years, we used to be called a disgrace by him and his cronies.
Fuck that piece of shit.

You got any numbers to back that up or just a fan made video with 4 years worth of nitpicked footage?

I watch the games. Steph is fouled off the ball all the time, and constantly fouled on 3pt attempts and layup attempts as well. He almost never gets a call.
but no, I'm not writing it down everytime it happens. That video may be the most blatant ones, but if they seriously included every single instance of Steph being fouled and not called, it would be a very very long video.
But Steph going though all that and still managing to not only get a good shot up, but actually make it a lot of the time is part of what makes watching him play fun.
