I saw that, the net was most certainly not grabbed at all.
Sure if that's the way you viewed it. I don't think either player caused any unnecessary motion, which would negate both instances.

But I was just pointing out that grabbing the net is a violation, if it causes unnecessary and unnatural motion. Which in my experience it almost always does. If you grab the rim or grab the net, gravity just kind of takes over and causes it to move.

The Warriors lost last night, so maybe that was karmic justice. Long season.

Yes on the involuntary motion, neither act seemed to cause the rim to move but the net absolutely was not pulled in a downward motion. All the stuff I wrote on this was in response to statements that Giddeys action negated Draymonds. The league never said that, not once.

Yeah but it was a tournament game! Now the whole tournament is tainted!

Yup.

6'5 PJ Tucker is the only one.

PG and Kawhi are not 4's.

Kawhi can play the 4

Hell naskn Tatum plays some 4

But they def needs some more beef there

That’s why swapping pet for Martin made no sense. At least Martin is a reasonable bodied 4

The clippers can use youth like bones Amir and Boston to get a body back there

Primo and Moon are perplexing then.

Primo is the 14th slot. Still have that 15th for a PF maybe? Or just play small ball until the oft-injured guys are down for the count I guess...?

I mean we had the awesome unis and cool court and everything.

Those courts are blindingly awful. I haven't seen them all, but of the ones I have seen the only one that didn't burn my eyes was the Bucks'.

They were legally required to add a 14th player in the near future

Making it primo is a quick easy path

They’re going to have more room imo as they need to aggregate salaries for a pf…unless they turn powell and his salary into a pf

The Thunder court grew on me as the game went on. None of them are as bad as what the Heat did a couple years ago, to me.

Leonard is injury prone. You want him exerting a lot of energy defending PF's?

Warriors lack size, and need to have more athletic young guys on the court especially when they play young teams like OKC. Might need to change lineups for certain matchups, start Kuminga or Moody sometimes.

JaMychal Green is still out there. 1/5 is a long wait for 10 day contracts to open up...maybe a non-guaranteed contract? Maybe Bryson Williams from Ontario's roster?

The colors are way too saturated, tough to watch the actual play on the court at times.

They are going to consolidate a few guards, I imagine.
