I got Hoop Dreams coach - The NBA thread

the Bill walton documentary “the luckiest guy in the world” (I think it is one of the sensational 30 for 30’s)… will be getting a spin tonight.

Boston complete the sweep of the pacers… really need the Timberwolves to step up and win a couple to allow us to get Porzingas back…

How far off is he from returning?

I would like to not get swept too… A win would also mean we get one more WCF match in Minnesota too, which I would love for the long suffering fans out there…

He is training on the court… they said if it went six he’d have been suited up but not starting… if we get a weeks rest you’d think he’d be back for the finals

I complete forget that Boston did this without Porzingas.

He’s confirmed to be back for game one next week

KAT up to five fouls midway through the third quarter…

KAT fouled out…

Dallas down by 6 with 13.2 on the clock… Luka hits the 3 and is fouled but cannot convert the and 1…

tWovles score coming out of the timeout and take game four by 5… back to Minnesota… more travel and game time on the bodies of the players…

Tony Brothers and then Scott Foster…

Fuck me.

Doncic getting his flop on a bit there towards the end (the last guy that needs to do shit like that)

At least we survive to live another day.

  1. Doncic jumps INTO Towns as he shoots. Last season, and the start of this season this was either a no foul, or an offensive foul. That was KAT’s 6th…

  1. Ant was a fair bit away from Doncic when he throws up the three and flails his arms around to con the refs into giving him the foul. Tremendous shot, but as I said above, a guy like Luka absolutely does not need to pull shit like that.

The last one on KAT was ridiculously harsh… but he got himself into foul trouble with some real silly play.

Also shows the value of holding onto a challenge…

The funniest bit is that the NBA Refs Association used Luka in their explanation of the rule change back in September of 2021…

It would have been upheld if we’d challenged. Its Doncic, and we’re the Timberwolves…

In what world is a player jumping into another player that is two feet on the ground a foul?

You’ll have to ask the NBA that question…

Well, we know there’s no point in asking the NBA anything!

L2M claims it was a correct call…

I’ve got nothing in response to that. Madness

Too much drafting Bronny and signing Lebron on the vet min chatter for mine …

Ah well, we had a good run.

Boston v Dallas is going to be a good finals series though. Dallas have done well to get through a pretty tough finals series as the away team against OKC and us, while Boston were far and away the best team in the regular season and have had the benefit of a relatively easy run to Eastern Conference Champions.

As much of a cliché as it sounds, but Minnesota played their final against Denver. Unbelievable series and performance… was always going to be tough to go again after that.

Dallas is a tough match up, Luka is a freak and Kyrie will always have a point to prove against Boston.
