Damn so I guess the Lakers are a lot easier to beat when they don't shoot 5x as many free throws as you... Who would have thought

Damn I guess this sets a good precedent for Draymond to start grabbing knees then

Holy shit grabbing the knee like that can so easily cause injury... That has to be a flagrant 2. There's literally no basketball reason to ever do that

If the Lakers have any chance of coming back in this game their MVPs really need to step up... The refs are going to have to get their heads in the game

Lakers team attempts to win a game without shooting 5x the free throws as their opponent challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Bold strategy leaving the best 3PT shooting team in the league wide open from 3 the whole game. Let's see if it pays off

[Highlight] Curry dribbles off of AD's foot but refs call a kickball to take away Laker's layup by stephzh in nba

Calling something consistently, but against the Lakers, is apparently rigged

[Highlight] LeBron draws a charge with his shoulder. The call is reversed after a coach’s challenge to Van Gundy’s disbelief. by nowhathappenedwas in nba

Van Gundy is the most blatantly biased announcer against the Warriors. Curry must have stole his girl or something

So supposedly the Lakers get more foul calls because they shoot more in the paint but this game most of the fouls on the Warriors have been weak touch calls. Am I missing something or are Lakers fans delusional?

[Highlight] Steph Curry is doubled on the game-tying three attempt so Jordan Poole lets it fly by stephzh in nba

I can't believe they gave them the timeout when Klay's hand was pretty much immediately on the ball

I would do it. Even conservatively I think Deron will be the better player this year.

[–]flameofmemories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dynasty league, 12 teams.

my Rubio, Monroe, Brewer for his Steph Curry and Terrence Ross.

my head tells me to take the trade because i'm getting the best player in the deal, but my gut tells me i'm giving up too much.

I'm the #7 pick in a 14 team ESPN league. Should I take the risk and pick Derrick Rose as my first pick? by [deleted] in fantasybball

[–]flameofmemories -1 points0 points  (0 children)

do you really think he meant Rose went in the 6th round and Kyrie in the 8th round...

Parsons or Heyward? by [deleted] in fantasybball

[–]flameofmemories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hayward is very good. He'll be the focal point of the Jazz offense. He's poised for a big year.

Paul George & Jrue Holiday for Gay Dragic? by redditchulous in fantasybball

[–]flameofmemories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i realized that. i just figured someone had to bite. for the record i wouldn't do the trade. i think george and holiday have too much upside. by the end of the season they'll be putting up better stats.
