Also like how he gets fouled and passes, rather than attempts a shot.

Re: NBA Thread
This is the part of Booker's game that I particularly dislike - his wailing for fouls all the time. Too many NBA players turning the game into soccer bullshit. Harden the fuck up - and I'm looking at you too, Harden.Monkey_Driven wrote:Booker looking for the foul call there after getting away with essentially 7 fouls on D.
His 15 foot jumper though - :chef'skiss:.

Re: NBA Thread
The NBA will not allow offensive players to draw fouls by making unnatural shooting motions, starting next season. Will be watching intently to see how players adjust and how it changes the game.

Really like how they're allowing a more contact as this series goes on.

Re: NBA Thread
Dame to the Knicks?
The big talk is about Dame to the Warriors. I do not understand this. They already have an elite scoring point guard. And an elite scoring SG. I don’t get it.

An under-sized superstar on the wrong side of 30 making 40 mil a year would be a perfect Knicks move. It'd work for a year and then go to shit. They should trade their entire team for him like they did for Melo.

There were four fawns frolicking around a doe in my backyard when I went out for a run this morning. It has to be some kind of sign.
