In search of Larry O'Brien: 2015 NBA Playoffs

Looking back, the Dellavedova play against Korver does look suspect. He barrels into the ball ass first. Maybe that's the way hos momentum carried him, but I can see it both ways.

I'm ambivalent on the other too. The leg lock wasn't an intent to injure but to annoy, and the elbow drop wasn't his fault, I don't think.

Olynyk played recklessly, which is why Love is out. I don't think Dellavedova is in the same class.

"Delly did NOTHING wrong against Horford OR Korver. "

LMFAO !

Yup. Just watch the plays and TRY to be objective... something you clearly can't comprehend.

You are just butt hurt because LeBron left Miami. That's fine. I'm still butt hurt that he left Cleveland the first time. But humor us... try taking away the colors of the jersey and tell me what you decide. It should be pretty obvious.

I am being objective, TNT also showed the korver injury in connection with this latest incident, and the commentating crew agreed that there was history with della and dirty plays. He has been exposed

I agree, it wasn't as bad as the Olynyk play, but it's still hypocritical to see him specifically post about it given that he was lamenting for a harsher punishment for Olynyk.

It's funny seeing the same guys calling for Olynyk's head on a platter are defending a guy that has multiple times during these playoffs made bush-league plays at people's legs.

Please tell me you recognize the difference between falling into someone else (which happens all the time in sports) versus pulling another man's arm out of his socket?

Howard will not be suspended for game 5, Flagrant I upheld. Per USA Today. By the way at first glance I didn't see it as the word extricate, I read another word that would have made the article a bit gross, and maybe a little funny.

Apparently, Rod Thorn wanted to make sure we all knew Howard was trying to extricate himself by reiterating it no less than four times. If you watch the video, I saw Bogut's left hand hook the wrist of Howard. So Thorn is saying that Howard was trying to free himself from this and that's why he swung his arm, and because he didn't connect with an elbow, but open back of the hand, it's a Flagrant I.

I'm OK with the Flagrant I, it's just frustrating that there such inconsistencies in officiating, especially in the Playoffs. These are supposed to be the top refs of the season and league.

I'm just not sure a uniform policy on the fouls is going to fix things.

Take the Pass Interference Calls in the NFL or even the Illegal-hands-to-the-face rule. Teams and fans complained, so the league adjusted - maybe a bit too much one way, and the teams and fans complained again. Unless we replace officials with Robot Officials, but that creates more problems...

David Blatt is the worst coach to make a championship round since Barry Switzer got to SB XXX.

That's the biggest advantage either west team has over Cleveland. Both Kerr and McHale are FAR superior coaches to Blatt. I could see either coach exploiting some of the Cavs weaknesses to the point where it may even kinda nullify the Lebron factor.

Well, it's over. I have to say that I'm proud of this Hawks squad. They proved a lot of people wrong and turned a lot of heads this season. Even though they came up short, this season was a success, especially in the way they revived basketball in Atlanta.

However though, the NBA needs LeBron in the finals, so I can see why the Hawks didn't advance.

Yep. That's why. It's not because they were badly outplayed -- it's because the NBA needs LeBron in the Finals. :rolleyes:

Pathetic, really. Although I can't I expected much better from a Steelers fan. Maybe the Cavs were just better a team, but no, it's because of the biased officials.

To be fair, had your post not included the bolder part, it would have been a nice, respectful post.

When your team got swept and closed it out losing by 30 points, I don't know if you can really say the series was rigged.

Atlanta got its ass beat. Plain and simple.

It was a joke. Chill. I probably should've put a winky face to secure that intention. And besides, you're a Cowboys fan, there's no room to talk like that.

Gotta hand it to Lebron. He certainly made the right decision by going back. And even with him being the constant feature lately, the idea of a Cavs vs Warriors or Rockets (hopefully the Warriors) Finals is such a breath of fresh air.

I think Lebron could have limped Wade and Bosh to the Finals.
