šŸ™„ No Holds Barred Thread - A Haney/DavetheWave Production

No clue. I feel like when he and KD were together they kinda switched roles on and off. But KD isn’t as ball dominant as Luka. Luke’s much closer to the Harden/Young school of play.

NBA twitter is such a double edged sword but when it hits, it hits.

Dallas buying low. Don’t think it will work but Dallas is screwed from a roster construction standpoint, so I guess they figure, hey why not.

True after they lost Brunson there wasn’t much the Mavs could do. Also have heard the market for players who want to play with Luka is smaller than you think.

Will play my favorite contrarian role and point out that Kyrie took the Nets to an eastern conference finals and nearly won. It kinda worked and then life got wacky and Kyrie got wackier, but the Nets don’t go to a whole lot of eastern conference finals… (except for the magical Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin era, when they were the perennial sacrificial lamb to the western conference)

Oh crud- this is wrong. Lost in semis. Not finals . But probably best team v Giannis

Lost in 7, in OT, to the eventual champs. One stray bounce and we could have a completely different narrative.

I’m wondering (hoping) that Gertrude can be our Jaden Ivey… Similarities are there.

Interesting take on how at least one NBA coach views how short a leash reserves get …

For those wondering how the foul got missed on Reece’s dunk?
Jamie Luckie was in a position as the lead official to be the one that was supposed to get to the baseline and be in position to see the play… didn’t even get to the 3 point line… Look how far back he is. There is no way anyone older than 50 who is 40 lbs. overweight should be allowed to officiate Mens D1 basketball… Look at the 2nd pic as well… Roger Ayers was the Center official - meaning he started 14 feet behind Luckie at the start of the play and had already passed Luckie in transition.

Also watch Luckie trying to run to get in position … ā€œrunningā€ is a very loose term here …

So refs must love UVa games. Significantly less miles and sprinting, right?

I’ve heard about 3 miles of running per night for refs. Must be like 2.5 or so for our games.

But it feels like 6 miles because it is so slow and boring.

If he were just starting out in high school officiating… he wouldn’t get any higher games than Girls JV as he would be deemed unable to keep up to give a quality effort … and I’m being serious.

Isn’t if offsides when the center official passes the lead official on the way to the opposite basket when possession changes?
