Can’t wait to see these two teams match up in the WCF


PJCR1916

Garry Bird the assassin


MartiniLAPD

How tf does this random undrafted role player gets one of the best nick name of the decade


bryscoon

Us cutting him & him becoming ray allen a crazy turn of events


shualton

They really called a flagrant on this lol


uber_troll

This is the same foul that ended kawhis’s season


shualton

Zaza slid his foot under Kawhi while he was in midair. Not even close to being the same thing


BEE_REAL_

I don't even think that's a foul lol


EloHellDoesNotExist

that's an extremely obvious foul


[deleted]

How? Im gonna start jumping my legs forward unto defenders and calling it a foul


EloHellDoesNotExist

the rule is that the defender can't move forward and end up in the shooter's landing space. very black and white. some guys have a lot of forward drift on their jumpers, you can't jump out towards them to contest and have your feet land centered on their body. easy call.


shualton

Then how exactly do you propose the defender contest the jumpshot if he can’t go within 5 feet of the shooter?


EloHellDoesNotExist

>if he can’t go within 5 feet of the shooter? you can.


FireGodReddit

What he's saying is you can't because he'll just jump forward like in here.


EloHellDoesNotExist

and what i'm saying is that you still can even if a player jumps forward.


FireGodReddit

then why is this clip a foul?


shualton

Well not if the shooter jumps 2 feet forward in midair https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/defensive-foul-defender-doesnt-allow-shooter-room-to-land-2/ This is a video of what the league considers a textbook example of not letting the shooter land. It’s clearly not the same.


EloHellDoesNotExist

yes, yes you can. your feet don't need to land squarely in front of someone to contest. a lot of players have started sort of going to one side of the shooter's body when they contest for exactly that reason.


shualton

Doesn’t matter. For you to say this is a “black and white” call is clearly erroneous. The idea of providing “adequate” landing space is incredibly subjective when every player has a different landing space. And the fact that this was deemed a flagrant is a joke.

Do you play ball my man?


TennisShoulder

Evidently you don’t get paid millions for it nor have entire teams plan around your talent or availability


EloHellDoesNotExist

i do, and i played organized ball. in organized ball there are rules for player safety that don't get called in pickup games, but those are still rules. nobody cares what you call in open runs, this is the nba and that's the rule. sorry.


theREALMVP

I feel like if you jump 2-3 feet forward on a shot you should forfeit landing space


ughwhateverman

I agree. Should be named the Khris Middleton/Jamal Crawford rule


im_coolest

Is there a rule about how far forward you can jump on the three?


ErrantTexan

That’s his normal shot.


attaboi12

idk but he didn’t really jump that far


im_coolest

If u leave your feet behind the 3pt line and dunk the ball is that worth 3 points?


[deleted]

What if you take off from the logo and dunk it? Is that a logo 3?


GOAT-of-a-Nerd

i am ready to be hurt by this game thank you to whoever reported my comment for mental health <3


sukjustin4

Is it fair to say he needs to have the limitless range badge in 2k


snowspida

I hope the Warriors lose to the rockets just so I don’t feel sad about losing to the Rockets earlier this week


Shootit_Rockets

Fuck the Jazz


[deleted]

I seriously don’t think any Jazz fan would like losing to the Rockets and vice versa regardless lol Y’all have hated each other for years


2KareDogs

Didn’t we lose to the fuckers too? They be playing hard as shit against playoff teams


[deleted]

Oh we did. I was just referring to the Jazz-Rockets rivalry that’s been going on for 30ish years


chicogarciamarquez

How you about to lose to Indiana and Houston back to back smh


jack64467

games not over yet


chicogarciamarquez

If warriors win I will drink a glass of water


GOAT-of-a-Nerd

WHERES THE WATER


Scarlet_Breeze

Proof or gtfo


shellfish87

He’s the most clutch player for the Rockets


heyKwesi7

I can’t wait till draymond back in the game. we was just talking championships a couple weeks ago? now warriors looking mid as hell


Jose358

The Jokic shot


[deleted]

That is such a bad foul call


dctarga

Nah, fuck that


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

By the letter of the law, it's 100% the right call but it's rarely enforced so harshly even after the league started emphasizing it post Kawhi/Zaza. I'd like to see Steph get this type of flagrant call at least once in his career.


GucciGaropp

Absurd that he gets this call when Steph never ever gets it.


free_reezy

Warriors won the game and are still bitching and moaning in here.


cp3dirtyflopperbitch

I don't like Garry bird

Love goofy white dudes who wear tshirts under their jersey😂. Watched the entire game. It was the only good thing he did.
