Kings Blazers tied up in OT…Blazers are bleeding players…No simons or scoot. Brogdon left with an injury. Sharpe fouled out. Camara is closing for Portland.

Kings really gonna be in trouble if they can’t pull this one out.

That game was as ugly as the Suns/Bulls.

That's a taunt? Com'on, you know that's incredibly soft and especially for something to eject a player.
Yes. He got in his face and said something to him.

Rough start for the Harden era in Clipperland.

I didn't see him say anything in that clip, at least not demonstrably.

There was a better angle on NBA TV. Yeah, it was quick but I’d rather not see special treatment just because he’s a star. What was his first technical for?

Think they stamped his passport on the way to the hole. That was ridiculous.

Funny enough… watching the suns game last night it dawned on me they never call traveling or carrying anymore like they used to back in the 90s. Both have gotten way out of line compared to the standards that were held decades prior.

Just makes it even more frustrating when they do call it.

Agree... it's a judgement call that kills the pacing of a game usually. The precedence has been set... nothing you can do about it now.

100 years from now they'll just eliminate dribbling all together :P

They called one on EG and I wish they would’ve shown a replay because I did not see a travel at all

They also changed the rule from the 90’s…you get two full steps after you gather then all. And any foot in air when you gather does not count, no matter how recently it was picked up. So really you get 2.99 steps.

Thanks for clarifying... It kinda feels like when the euro step came into play is when the league started blowing fewer traveling violations; but could be just me.

Lmao.

Bit of backstory: Many NBA Brazil accounts(I believe they are fan run haha) post a lot of…questionable images and videos, especially fury related from twolves Brazil account. Theyre not pornographic or anything but they borderline nsfw often times haha

I like when teams get creative and a little edgy with stuff like that. So many are scared or not allowed to be funny and would rather keep it vanilla just to be safe.

Yeah, the spin move in the lane. I didn't see a travel either.

Wow....
I said his highlights always tantalize but he would be inefficient and turnover prone at times (then he totally cooked us the 2nd game lol)

Still tho, surprised to see him struggle like this
