2021-22 NBA Thread: The Bucks are Reigning Champs

[MuggsyB]

You can put me on ignore if you need your safe space.

I don't care at all, I just think it's weird.

Why are you offended?   He expresses his opinion about poor thought processes and bad hot takes.

In my opinion he is usually the one with bad hot takes. Mine is consistent with almost all media right now.

Not to mention, Poole was hit in the face on two consecutive plays where the defender wound up first. Neither was even whistled as a common foul. Neither will be reviewed for an upgrade to F1...why, because that happens in basketball.

I've been hit in the face like that dozens of time playing basketball, never once would I consider it ejection worthy.

The grab of the jersey was an F1.

I'm not offended, I just think it's in poor taste and totally unnecessary.

Want me to ship you a teddy bear?

[MuggsyB]

Memphis might want to begin playing the 4Q.

Also, I've dunked in a pickup game. I've heard that makes one an unquestionable authority around here.

No thanks.  I have my dog and a lot of stuffed animals.  I guess you're unhinged for some reason.  No worries.  I was trying to help you out because insulting people doesn't amplify any of your arguments.  But I am also fine with people bitter at the world.  Maybe try that when you need to vent.

You clearly don’t understand the rule book and why it was called. I tried to explain. Hint…It wasn’t just that he was hit in the face.

Furthermore you have a history of complaining about the refs in ways I don’t think are accurate. I find you are watching different games than I am.

And then you bring up rigged nonsense…

Really?  COOL.

I am hardly bitter. Stay away from the armchair psychology too.

[MuggsyB]

I'm rooting for Memphis here because I think it will make for a better series.

That retort didn't go well for you Fluffy.   

Maybe watch Samuel L. Jackson vs Brad in that Pulp Fiction scene.

On the underlined. We are in agreement. You have a history of defending refs no matter what. We see the game differently.

Regarding the bolded. I didn't say I believe that. I said this is an example of "why" people say it is rigged.

[MuggsyB]

Heck of a game. 

[forgetful]

Heck of a game.

Yeah it is. Morant has been amazing.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Total clock mismanagement there on both ends of the floor for Memphis.

[MuggsyB]

That was off Memphis.

[forgetful]

That was off Memphis.

Definitely. Thought it was even pretty clear live.

That should be reviewable.

But, bigger. How does Klay miss 2 FTs there.

[PGsHeroes32]

Memphis getting all the calls

That was a brutal miss

[MuggsyB]

Yes. 

[forgetful]

Vander Blue would have made that.

[tower912]

Winning on the road without Draymond. 

[MuggsyB]

Vander Blue would have made that.

Damn straight!

Tough loss for Memphis.

[MuggsyB]

Winning on the road without Draymond.

Ya....not sure the Grizz can overcome that. 

[forgetful]

Really?  COOL.

The statement was made in jest, to lighten things up again.

But yes, I have dunked in pickup games. Somehow, once, many moons ago I managed to miraculously convert an alley-oop (not sure it was planned or if it was just a bad miss into just the right place at the right time, but I'll take it).
