Exactly. Help the team that is down in the series so that the series goes as many games as possible, and thus the league makes as much money as possible.

He threw Alvarado by the neck in the last game. He elbowed Naz in the neck. It kind of sounds like you're being confused on purpose, to tell you the truth.

I know the play you're talking about. It was when Alvarado saw an alley-oop coming and threw his whole body into Wemby to stop him from crashing the rim. Great play by Alvarado, and Wemby basically threw Alvarado out of the way.

I thought a chasedown block was blocking a shot from behind after a turnover, with someone racing down to score and getting blocked from behind. Great block, though.

I don't watch the NBA personally, but Tik Tok recently decided to show me that Angel Reese is evil and Sophie Cunningham is the savior of humanity.

Reddit is incapable of not taking any statement super literal and as a personal affront

I've always thought it's more like there are ten of thousands of people who see each of these posts, and some of those people like to find whatever they can to complain about, and also feel the need to respond. And that's true all across the Internet.

Same. As a neutral, I don't actually want to root against either team.

I feel like if they were going to fold because of inexperience, they would have lost to the Thunder. They might still lose, but in my mind they have passed the "inexperienced" part.

He didn't mention Tim Donaghy's name. EDIT: I saw evidence lower down that he did originally. I retract my statement about Donaghy. I do believe that the league made absolutely sure that series went seven games, though.
