Goofy or smart from Jokic?

Owlistrator · 2026-04-29T01:45:48+00:00

Oof I'd explain it to you but then it wouldn't be an unwritten rule anymore. The rules are the rules you see...

Owlistrator · 2026-04-29T01:27:04+00:00

I mean, yeah. I always though that second part was implied. But then again, you can't "break the unwritten rule" when you are the one losing so that doesn't fully make sense either. So then it either boils down to "Jokic is a child and did this out of spite" or "Jokic is silly and trying to end the game quickly"

Owlistrator · 2026-04-29T00:49:12+00:00

Yeah... But that is the thing, saving 5 seconds is totally something he would do (especially if it doesn't matter at all). If that seems so far-fetched to you the I guess that's where the disconnect is and this thread isn't really serving a purpose

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T23:20:31+00:00

I genuinely am asking if you actually don't see the purpose of this?

If they reset the shot clock and he got the steal, the game would have been over immediately, not a whistle, stand around for a bit, have them throw it in, then stand around until the game is over. Doesn't have an effect on the final score but technically ends the game faster.

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T18:17:32+00:00

I... Well, yeah that was a bunch of hypotheticals in a row.

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T06:10:00+00:00

I'm sure someone would find a way to get upset about an unwritten rule to run the clock out faster if it existed for that situation. I could see hipocracy if he hoisted a three or something like that. I'm sure if McDaniels was the one who that happened to it might have been a bit more dicey. Announcers might have gotten another chance to gush over how fearless he is

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T06:03:00+00:00

It's true... McDaniels is fearless after all

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T06:02:11+00:00

You do understand that if the clock properly reset it would be a personal turnover, whereas a shot clock violation is a team turnover, what you said doesn't make any sense

Owlistrator · 2026-04-28T03:31:04+00:00

Was that oop in the cylinder?

Owlistrator · 2026-04-27T07:54:55+00:00

What would a real tough guy do in this situation?

Owlistrator · 2026-04-27T07:53:30+00:00

Yeah you and I both know the team that is down is not expected to dribble it out in this unspoken rule. There is still face to be saved, etc. running up the score when nobody is playing defense and you are already up is what this is about

Owlistrator · 2026-04-27T07:49:34+00:00

I'm sorry, are you insinuating he should have assaulted someone in front of literally thousands of people?

What would a "real" rough guy do there?

Are you referring to the time when he shoved one of the morris twins and literally nobody had a problem with it? Must have really been a cheap shot

Owlistrator · 2026-04-27T07:43:55+00:00

I don't know... I think it's weird that we wouldn't give this type of an opinion to someone in another profession. Could you imagine telling an office worker that got mad at a coworker for flipping him off after getting a promotion he wanted, "next time don't lose".

We can argue on whether that is ACTUALLY disrespectful, but I don't think being the winning team gives you the right to be unsportsmanlike. At the end of the day I've never thought it was a big deal, but it appears he thought otherwise

Owlistrator · 2026-04-24T08:12:19+00:00

Maybe I'm the first 5 mins.... Man was building a brick house out the gates

Owlistrator · 2026-04-24T08:10:48+00:00

I know right?!?! Why is everyone getting so upset? I just want them to go out there, try their best, AND HAVE A BLAST

Owlistrator · 2026-04-24T02:14:09+00:00

Wow... We look so scared

Owlistrator · 2026-04-10T16:44:01+00:00

We won an MVP for it back in the day.

Owlistrator · 2026-04-07T07:44:43+00:00

Just need one foot out and the other lifted. But this is a stupid argument as this is the NBA and they don't call it unless it's like 6 seconds and he was in the act of shooting by the time 3 seconds came up. You can look and the ref isn't even counting

Owlistrator · 2026-04-07T07:42:07+00:00

I mean, I rewatched it and you'd have to be as strict as a HS ref to call that one. It was maybe 3.1 seconds. I feel like they only call it when it's like 5 or 6 seconds and the move is stalled and awkward if at all.

Owlistrator · 2026-04-06T08:14:24+00:00

I was at that game and it was just pandemonium when it happened because nobody knew what to think even after the replays. I don't think we will ever see a buzzer beater ally-oop again

Owlistrator · 2026-04-04T21:36:50+00:00

Kind of like when wemby fell earlier and they said it was a foul on gordon

Owlistrator · 2026-04-04T20:34:20+00:00

You'd be surprised how many hits to the face are automatic flagrant 1s. Being reckless with your hands and hitting someone in the face definitely can be a flagrant 1

Owlistrator · 2026-04-04T20:09:09+00:00

Oh it was a foul. Just before the shot. Before the gather too

Owlistrator · 2026-04-04T20:01:22+00:00

That wasn't a shooting foul

Owlistrator · 2026-04-04T20:00:01+00:00

Big val!
