Funniest thing from todays games, the Nets assistant coach deflecting the ball and the refs didn’t do anything about it. Washington get pinged with a turnover.
I've finally seen that. holy shit i have never seen anything like that in a professional sports game!! hilarious and terrible at the same time! dude just sticks his hand out and intercepts the pass. No call. The ref probably thought "there is no way i saw what i think i saw"
You reckon that coach had that instant regret "oh shit, oh shit, what have i done?"
Surely the league needs to send him to the stands for a few weeks. Some sort of message needs to be sent.

lo, $10k fine for the coach, $25k fine for the Nets

The punishment doesn't fit the crime. He should not be on the bench for a game or two

goddam it Spurs, are you allergic to 4th quarters? How many 4th Q blowouts for a narrow loss is that this season?
And to the Warriors' 2nd unit too

i forgot the play-in was still a thing
God it sucks
Imagine the rest of the season if only the top 8 made post season? In the East the current 5-9 teams would have to put in all the rest of the season to make it, and would be looking over their shoulder at the Hawks coming home hard after that disastrous start. Instead all the top 10 can fuck around and aim more for match ups.
In the West you would have the Nuggets, T-Wolves and the two LA teams all having to push just to make it. Instead they are all in, and will be joined by the least shit of the rest.
The play-in was an okay idea to make up for a truncated season. In a full 82-game schedule it makes zero fucking sense.

The season is so fucking long. I don't watch anything until the playoffs now. Funnily enough, I might watch the play-in.

The play-in does serve to lengthen the part of the season that has something on it. Tanking is an ever-increasing blight on the NBA, and NFL, so although I don't agree with the concept, it should motivate more teams to try for a little longer and that alone makes it worthwhile. Bit like the NFL wild card round. Or having an 8 team finals series in a 14 team rugby comp. Okay maybe not the latter which is still just thick.

i get that argument. but essentially it's giving 6 teams a slight reason to try harder. And 8 teams a reason to try less.
Those 6 teams will all get bounced straight away as well.
-
@mariner4life Why would a team which is going to qualify, try less and therefore heighten their chances of getting a higher seed? There is certainly some strategy late in the season around jockeying for match-ups, but I don't see a mid-range seed dropping games to get the top team happening very often.
And in terms of those lesser play-in teams getting bounced, yep, mostly they will but it's only a matter of time before one of them makes a deep run and then the perception will alter.
-
Nah not buying it
And in the East for sure teams will look at match ups given how tight it all is.

Marcus Morris is such a bitch. Goaded Jokic into striking him by giving him a cheap shot, now he does the Kurt Rambis on Ja

Jesus, the Kings can't NBA.
WTF was that trade?
Kings fans on social media just losing their shit. That franchise is fucked.
The Harden for Simmons trade rumour just won't die. I gave it about 0% chance of happening a week ago, suddenly I'm 50/50
If Brooklyn get the right package, then adding Simmons makes them a very dangerous team again.

@canefan just on this
NBA fans: The modern game is so soft, little guys just drive when they want and nothing ever happens
also NBA fans: Morris just hit him for no reason! he should be shot!
Definite deliberate foul, not a great one either. But come on, i'm all for a bit jeopardy when you're driving at the hoop. If it was really bad Adams would have wrecked his shit.

Adams must have been on the bench?

To his credit he got up pretty quick. Unlike Morris when Jokic whacked him
