Official '15-16 NBA Season Thread: THEY WON ONE FOR THE LAND

I don't consider bone to be a full on #spursdonk. He actually posts about other nba teams/stories.

Deac83 is king spurs donk and deaconson is the prince. Then you have all of the commoners who should be rolling into this thread in the coming weeks.

Well I do post about that idiot Cuban and his rag tag teams.

I remember saying nice things about you somewhere on this thread.

FWIW, I call it focus. I barely have time to watch full Spurs games much less worry about the peon's below them. :)
 
I'm a #spursdonk but in no way do I blindly pledge my allegiance and not admit when things are obvious.

Manu was on the line. May have made contact did not get to see all the replays. Kawhai grabbed Westbrook.

CBS has a pretty good write up. The entire thing was a clown show. If anything the refs let it get out of hand all around.
 
This series feels a lot like the thunder/Mavericks series. I expect SAS to win 3 in a row.
 
As a "Spurs donk" (most overused phrase by Deacon donks who fit this metric: NBA casual fan + small Trump hands>30 year old and <45 years old who slurp CP3 and Josh Howard but consider JJ and Teague thugs, think Duncan is boring, pulled for the Heat 3 years ago and leaped on Dubs bandwagon but also pull for John Wall?) this is my late night observation:

Forget all the non calls - if Danny Green (whom I like) makes the correct pass to Manu after the steal instead of the lob over Adams to Mills, Spurs win period.

Way off on #Smartfans

ps go heat
 
Without such a long posting history, I would definitely have 83 as the most well-executed parody on these here modern boards.
 
L2M from Thunder/Spurs. http://official.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/05/L2M-OKC-SAS-5-2-16.pdf

5 incorrect calls from the inbound on:

1. Manu stepped on the line, delay of game
2. Dion crosses plane, offensive foul
3. During inbound, Patty held Steven Adams, personal foul
4. During inbound, Kawhi held Westbook, personal foul
5. With 2.6 left, Ibaka fouled LMA

I can't get that link to open, but did they discuss Waiters also jumping to throw the ball in? That stuck out to me while watching it live more than the elbow clearing room on Manu.
 
So CNN is now saying that the refs admit they fucked up, allegedly because they had never seen that before. If true, that's amazing. Not that they fucked up, but that they admitted it.

The NBA has been doing this "2 minute Ref Review" thing during the season this season.After every game that is within five points at the two-minute mark of regulation or overtime, NBA officials release a report about the performance of the referees. So they have been saying when calls were missed or not missed. Just like in the Charlotte-Miami game 5 I think when the Heat thought they got screwed at the end on some no-calls and the NBA came out and said "nope, those were correct". But just as Bron Bron has come out and said "“A play in the first quarter is just as important as a play in the last four seconds,” [said James.] “That’s how playoff basketball is played, that’s how the game of basketball should be played. And I think for the youth, the kids that love the game so much, I don’t think they should hear that, ‘Oh, it’s OK to talk about the last 2 minutes calls missed.’ We should talk about the whole game, if that’s the case, because the whole game matters. You miss an assignment in the first quarter, it can hurt you in the fourth quarter. So, I’m not fond of it all.”.

So I guess from what you all are saying is that last call, made or missed [and maybe all 5 of them], even though the Spurs got the ball with 10 seconds to go on a steal and got shots off made way more difference in the entire game? Or that that one missed call made more difference than our own Timmy D going 1-8 for the game? Nope, I agree with LeBron and the entire game matters just the same 1st minute to last minute and not one single call ever makes that much difference over the entire 48 minutes of play, especially in a game played by humans when they themselves don't make all of their shots & FT's and commit no turnovers. Nope, doesn't float bluefish!
 
I can't get that link to open, but did they discuss Waiters also jumping to throw the ball in? That stuck out to me while watching it live more than the elbow clearing room on Manu.

Yes, listed as a correct non-call.

Waiters (OKC) jumps during his inbound attempt, which is permissible under NBA interpretations of the relevant throw-in Rule No. 10, Section III, provided the player doesn’t leave the designated throw-in spot (laterally) or leave the playing surface (e.g., stepping into the stands) to gain an advantage.
 
Kyle Lowry with a nightmare of a game. He's had some pretty awful playoff games obviously, but none compared to this shit show
