Ok it got interesting enough that I could mostly ignore McNutt

Edwards can’t do anything. 0-7 in the 4th wasn’t close on the misses. Looked bad.

Naz Reid is showing off tho 

Rudy Gobert lost his shit and will be in trouble. From the game view it looked like he fouled trying to get an offensive rebound….neither woman ref called anything but Scott Foster came in from half court to make, what I thought was the correct call. Gobert then looks at the woman ref and makes the money sign with his hands. I assume he was talking about Foster but was doing it towards woman ref and she t’d him up and was his 6th foul.

Naz Reid 7/10 on 3’s and no one else is even close for TWolves

Atrocious bail out call giving Garland 3 free throws on a desperation 3 that had no chance with .7 on shot clock

Man these two women refs are major struggles and Foster has TWolves amped up. TWolves without their head coach to sickness but I wouldn’t be surprised if TWolves players don’t have major postgame words on the ref.

Cavs getting the calls but also playing harder.

Edwards misses a dunk and is 0 for last 9 and 7/26 on game….all after Wilbon pumped him as the MVP.

Tonight’s not his night in any way

For my final post so friendfromlowry doesn’t get mad….I’ll remind everyone that J.B. Bickerstaff’s dad obviously paved the way for his son and dad played college basketball at Rio Grande College, a college with only a few hundred students bordering the Bob Evans Farms here is southern Ohio.

Good Night

Dinwiddie blocking Dame for the win was solid

Some great defense in game ending plays lately

Gobert fined $100,000 for his money gestures meant towards Foster

This Cavs team is what I envisioned last years Cavs team to be. I just got a little ahead of the timeline and overestimated the bench (though I begged JB to play Merrill last year. Niang, Merrill (getting minutes), Strus have been excellent. Wade developing into a true 3/D and Okoro taking and making more has opened up the offense.

Not sure anyone in the East truly scares me, it’s mostly JB and his adjustments in a 7 game series I worry about. And potential Knocks pressure to not fold again.

But I do not envision a world they are not the 2-seed at this point, and think they have a better shot at the 1, than the 3. Fun times.

FUN FACT: Since this post, the Cavs are 6-8 and most definitely have a better shot at the 3 than the 1. Maybe Ironman has a point with his "go 1000000 miles out of his way to never say anything positive about his teams and risk jinxing anything" tactic.

Now, cue me forgetting this the first time the Pirates have a 3-game winning streak in MLB and praising how they're turning a corner, only to then watch them go 3-25 over the next month.

Im pretty sure Mobley got hurt the next game, and Donovan like 4 later lol.

Way to finish strong

Was it weird Ingram not in when it mattered AND Zion was out?

Ingram was on a minutes restriction. That was his second game back from a knee injury that sidelined him the final three weeks of the season. Lakers dodged a bullet having him and Zion not on the floor for the final few minutes. 

AD got fouled with less than three seconds left and they were up by two. The Pelicans had no timeouts to advance the ball. Reggie Miller wondered out loud if he should intentionally miss the second free throw to make the pelicans go the length of the floor to shoot a potential game tying three. Or, just make both free throws and you’re up four points and the game is over? Wtf. 

By the way, and revoke my man card or whatever idc, but I’m about to watch some WNBA next month. Part of that is fueled by the dry spell in sports after the NBA finals. But women’s college ball accomplished their mission in regards to me. I’ll tune in to watch Clark, Cardoso and Reese on the same team, and Cameron Brink.
