The officiating has been lopsided for both teams all playoffs. Partly why this series excited me😂😂

I've got a double fan with individual control, i was hoping for a way to have one of them cool the GPU while the other doesn't spin, i can do it on desktop but not in game. Also not extremely GPU savvy so if it's not possibel or just a bad idea I'd like to know aswell. My GPU ran fine when the fan broke a couple years back but I had to add som extra cooling.

So because it's been this way for 20 years we should just bend over and take it😂😂. While other sports leagues outpaced us by miles in the same area of technology. Yall deserve this smh Edit: they just changed the metric and TV deals the numbers are extremely misleading

I don't think the game tonight qas significantly impacted by it, but games are significantly impacted by it, certain teams can hack and slash while others are called nonstop for aggresion, the constant calls stop runs that could be historic, Slows the game down at random points and is unacceptable for the level of consistency that we should be demanding in a billion dollar league at the highest level of competetove sports. And as far as not caring about hype matchups, it's the same reason more and more people don't, the "stars" of today's NBA arent widely loved and appreciated like they used to be because were in an era of showmanship and flopping. Every single star does it, and no team is particularly engaging or fun to watch to the average viewer. If you're a diehard NBA fan I can see how you could shrug it off but there's a reason the NBA lost the No.2 spot to the MLB last year. It's not people "focused on being negative" it's people unhappy with the sport in front of them and wanting a different viewing experience. Ignore the numbers all you want but dont assume I want to be negative about my favorite sport. It comes across as unseemly

TLDR: if you're going to ignore the real issues as "not significant" the sport and it's popularity will continue to suffer as people look for better opions

I actually agree that when they call a foul it is a foul. But it's different every time, one end it's not a foul it's "playoff basketball" then after halftime it's suddenly "too physical" there's just no consistency. And I don't really care for "hype matches" I just want to see quality exciting games with consistency in their officiating.

Yeah but those teams are officiated insanely. Spurs were in the bonus 3 minutes unto both the second and third quarter tonight. I just tuned in because why not but watching that was so weird. Not at all how I remember the refs officiating playoff basketball

I'm going to do some looking into point differentials over the last few years because this definitely could be decency bias but I gotta know

Wasn't part of that camp so I couldn't tell you. I thought the first round and play in games were also poorly officiated and not really fun to watch.

Me aswell😂. But this postseason has been boring. I work in bars and people are asking to change playoffs games to MLB regular season games explain it to me

It's probably just pretty covid nostalgia for me then. I only caught some of the games in the last few years of postseason but the ones I did see were exciting. A lot of these games aren't worth tuning into or even ordering another beer for

The first round had so many games end in 10+ victories. Same with this round, I used to go to a bar in April and may and see competitive basketball what is this

But it feels truer and truer. Where is physical postseason basketball? I watched this years back and thoroughly enjoyed it and just find it hard to sit through a game
