But...but.....his elbow though? lol.

Can we stop with all the excuses already?

Yeah and Ginobili stepped out of bounds and the Thunder should have been awarded technical free throws. There were 8 missed calls on that last play.

You have to play well enough so that the game isn't in the hands of the zebras.

Did you watch Pop's post-game interview? He didn't bitch about the refs or say the league is rigged. He said their offensive organization was really poor (twice). Then he said they didn't play smart.

I agree, there were lots of missed calls on that last play, but Popovich is smart, he's not going to call out the referees game 2 of a series. He doesn't want the fine either.

You make your own breaks, I do get it, but come on, call the game straight up. I can almost guarantee you that Miami, even if they're playing lousy, will get every benefit from the stripes. It will get worse once the series shifts to Florida. Tough to play two opponents at the same time.

i just read that bosh is trying to get the nbapa to help him force his way into the rotation. so a summer trade? can the nbapa even force a team to do that? is he not being paid right now? seems like he is asking his mommy to tell the other kids to let him play right now.

So a summer trade? No.
Can the NBAPA force a team to do that? No.
Is he not being paid right now? No, he is being paid.
Seems like he is asking his mommy to tell the other kids to let him play right now. No, he is asking his union to try to force a team to risk him killing himself on the court. This is about as far away from basic whining as you can get. It's incredibly serious for everyone involved.

Lost in focus on Lowry's shooting struggles: Another night where Raptors were disastrous with Lowry on bench.

I have no numbers but it felt like the Raptors weren't that bad without Lowry vs Indiana, largely because of Cojo's production.

Team worst -20 net rating with Lowry off the court vs Indiana.

CoJo salvaged the bench, he didn't save it.

Yep Miami vs Cleveland would be a dream matchup... if you dont thinK Adam Silver is praying for this matchup your cuckoo bananas.

Exhibit A: Miami getting the ball after secaucus determined that one shot hit the rim.

On one specific replay it looked pretty clearly that it did hit the rim
