I think its pretty fun.
It's best to allow new things a chance by thinking about them at least neutrally before it happens maaaaate
I am pretty sure the Warriors are like... 1 or 2 off being the team that gets the least fouls.
do players get bonuses for winning in these tournaments?
Yep, I think it's like 500k per player.
Draymond gets away with murder (there was a game against us last year that he was literally screaming at the refs with no T). Steph in this game alone has gotten away with two plays where he steps into the defender to get and-1s that are supposed to be offensive fouls (and SUPPOSEDLY going to be a focus this year).
You typically get fewer fouls called when you shoot a ton of 3s too. But you gotta look at both sides of the ball.
I gave my pals the option to use me as a bookie for the Wizard. The bet - what ends up being higher, the Wizards win total, or Jordan Poole's ppg?
Unless you're the teams that shoot more threes and get more free throws lol
Maybe its just the typical Refs Vs Small Market bias. I have definitely seen some playoff games where the Warriors don't get a whistle.
Either way you are getting it not great today, is what it is.
Getting that Shaq/Dwight In Orlando treatment. He's too big and good to get calls.
Yep, his size just makes it look like he's never fouled then you look at it closely and it's truly puzzling.
And Benzine in social league.
Draymond should be suspended, but I’m surprised no technical fouls were called on Gobert. It wasn’t until the replay that I noticed and the announcers pointed out that Gobert had Klay in a headlock until Draymond jumped in
Same here. Crazy

Different angle, shows Gobert with right arm above Klay’s shoulder going across his body just 1 second before Draymond starts flying inimgur.com

I took 4 years of French so I'm pretty sure "hug" doesn't translate to "headlock"
As a lifelong wrestling fan, I feel qualified to make the call that an arm draped over a shoulder going across the body is not a headlock.
He was definitely targeting Gobert, but Gobert was the first person to join the fracas and immediately grabbed Klay near his shoulders/neck. In the heat of the moment, I don’t fault draymond for going straight after Gobert, but he didn’t need to hold him that long or as tight around his neck

I agree, but I understand Draymond in this instance. Also, if Klay got tossed instead of just a tech, then Gobert should have had a tech
The problem is that every time there's an incident, people break things down frame-by-frame and find an excuse for what Draymond did.
He definitely needs a lengthy suspension. This just seems different than when he was kicking dudes in the nads… also what does Gobert need to do to get T’d up? He gave everyone Covid and shut down the league, then the gets involved in the fracas by putting him arm around Klay. Is there no end to what he will do?
Gobert giving everyone COVID is what caused the US to finally take it seriously (for a while) so I give his stupid ass a bit of a pass for that one.
Oh wait sorry. I meant knee in balls.
