I think he aggravated an existing injury.Luka is a master of the soccer style major injury (that cures itself in 5 seconds).
Both could be true: he is beat up, and is a master of soccer style writhing.I think he aggravated an existing injury.
It was time a decade ago. so why stop Now?I appreciate Hubie, and he's trying his best.... but I think it's time.
Before it was time. Now... IT'S TIME.It was time a decade ago. so why stop Now?
Yes, but that's because one is totally immature and the other is the Thunder.Looks like both #1s are going to split?
OuchYes, but that's because one is totally immature and the other is the Thunder.
Must be some sort of big event in the early evening they didn't want to compete with. I don't know what that is, though.NBA couldn’t have gone 430-7 tonight? Or 330-6?

The histrionics are getting pretty, pretty annoyingLuka is insufferable.
He’s like my 3rd child. He just doesn’t… ever… stop… talking.The histrionics are getting pretty, pretty annoying
It’s truly amazing. He makes soccer players look quiet and honestDoncic complaining that Holmgren has his foot on the line. That dude will bitch about anything.
I'm pretty sure he was also complaining about that while inside the 3-point arc.Doncic complaining that Holmgren has his foot on the line. That dude will bitch about anything.
Haha! Nice catch! That didn't even register with me.I'm pretty sure he was also complaining about that while inside the 3-point arc.
I'm sure he sees it as gamesmanship -- both because Chet can hear him bitching about it while he's trying to shoot, and because the refs will note it the next time Chet's at the line (which could get in Chet's head). Anything for an edge.It’s truly amazing. He makes soccer players look quiet and honest
It's gotten really crazy.I don’t understand how the NBA completely changed the rules mid season. Guys are just getting mauled all over the court.
I feel about him how I felt about prime Draymond. I recognize he's a very good player, but I watch more than a couple quarters of him and all I can think is.... "I hope he gets tossed and his team loses so I don't have to watch him"... one of the least enjoyable players to watch of the last decade.Hubie sounds like he's not going to make it to the end of the game, never mind end of the series.
As for Luka, it's a shame that his skills are paired with so much whining. I want to like him. But the attitude makes it very, very hard.
It’s really the fact that they did it mid season too.. teams spent all offseason building teams to compete under one set of rules.. figured out how to play under those rules.. then made all of their free agent moves and then has the rules change entirely.It's gotten really crazy.
If you restarted the season now with the current rules/interpretation I'm sure the final standings would be at least somewhat different.
Some teams are built to play like this, some aren't. Mauled is the correct term, it's insane.
The only plausible explanation is the new media rights deal. Silver must have felt that the current product was bad (there's reporting that he was personally upset about the All-Star game) and that with the new deal looming, they couldn't' wait til the end of the season to fix it— that another postseason of foul-grifting and incessant FTs would hurt the league irreparably.It’s really the fact that they did it mid season too.. teams spent all offseason building teams to compete under one set of rules.. figured out how to play under those rules.. then made all of their free agent moves and then has the rules change entirely.
And who wanted this? Why do we want a return to 90s basketball? Why do we want basketball where every game is ref’d even more differently than it already was?
