    Lots of talk this year about that rule being overturned for next year. Harden abuses the shit out of it too. (This is another Zach Lowe opinion brought to you by buff).

    Well, the argument they're making isn't a bad one. But, Curry was taking a three pointer, run of the mill three pointer, the defender stopped, and then continued into his space. Curry landed on dude's feet. No one cared. If the continuation, or shuffle (which did happen) is bad, then the only difference is that the Spurs aren't being decried for it because Curry didn't get hurt. Leonard and Curry are both top stars. So, to be honest, if the real difference is that Leonard was hurt, I'd remind everyone that Curry has a history of banged up ankles - the gear that he wears on them serves as another reminder.

    I love Popovich. I actually like the Spurs. But SA has always played the same way that ZP plays. And they're sliding under Curry's ankles, too. At least ZP can honestly say he was contesting a shot. The Spurs defender can't make that claim.

    And the Spurs defender slide into his space after the ball was well out of his hands. Curry's shot also takes him forward regardless of where it is - this has no bearing on any of the plays in question.

    On another note - The Celtics are probably going to get swept.

    Doris Burke on Lowe Post, Buff. Good stuff.

    I think the Celtics would be a four seed in the west. The league needs to drop six teams and have better overall rosters.

    Meh, look at almost any era. Four to five teams, sometimes less, dominate for periods. It's the nature of the game. There are more and better athletes across the board now than ever.

    It's two teams, though. If it wasn't GSW and CLE in the finals again it would have had to be because of injuries.

    I see "Lavar" in that link. Not clicking on it. He's a douche and the league is going to expose his kid's shitty shot.

    Look at the history of the league.

    1950-55, only four teams make the finals. Lakers win it four times.

    1957-69, only five teams make the finals. Celtics win 11 title. Celtics and St. Louis Hawks meet four times from 1957-1961. Celtics-Lakers meet six times from 1962-69.

    1970-79, one of the few outliers for teams repeating. The only rematches are the Lakers and the Knicks in 72-73 and the Sonics and the Bullets in 78 and 79. Nine teams make the finals.

    1980-89, six teams make the finals. Lakers win five titles, Celtics win three. Celtics-Lakers meet three times.

    1990-99, 10 teams make the finals, only three win, Bulls, Rockets, Lakers. Bulls-Jazz only rematch.

    I don't think that's an argument for less teams. I think it's making a compelling argument for the same or more.

    that guy may be one of the biggest tools currently living. . . he and the lakers SO richly deserve each other. . . it's going to be hilarious hearing him trash magic johnson once the league chews his kid up and spits him out. . .


    also, you're not wrong about it being the nature of the league. . . it pretty much just is what it is. . . i do think the NBA desperately needs a franchise tag. . . it would also help if they'd do away with the "star calls" nonsense. . . like they need to make it even easier for lebron and durant to score! contraction isn't going to help, though-- it doesn't matter if you have 30 teams or 20, there are still only 3-5 legit superstars at any given moment, which obviously isn't nearly enough for everyone to have one. . . the NBA can mostly thank durant and his tiny little ego for the low quality of this year's playoffs. . . if he had still been in OKC teamed up with westbrook, the second and third rounds in the west would have been all-out, glorious war. . . instead, we get effing zaza patchouli ruining the one really great series we could have had before the finals. . .

    man, lebron had a lot of time off to get his hairline touched up just right-- looks like he's feeling extra good. . . this is going to be a short series. . .

    I'll give King this: it's been a boring ass playoffs. I haven't watched much of it.
