Cole just did the exact thing to Terry that Beverley did to Westbrook in the playoffs causing the fluke injury. But nobody here is claiming he's a piece of shite. Weird.


Honestly, not sure what you are talking about, but I don't care if he did. Terry flopped twice in this game. Absolutely deserves a cheap shot. Take a page out of hockeys book and send in a goon. No reason to be putting up with Terry's bullshite.

You are probably right. Certainly not for the first one. Nonetheless, he flopped and benefitted from an absolutely awful blown call on both.

Cole just tried to steal the ball as Terry was calling the timeout. Players do that all of the time. Everyone acted like it was this huge cheap shot when Beverley did it, when he was really doing something that is extremely common. I just like to point it out when it happens regularly in NBA games.

Didn't look like a bad call from my angle. Sure you had a good view?

Which are you talking about? When Jason Terry grabbed Asik's arm and pulled him to make it look like Asik was tying him up? You honestly don't think thats a bad call? You are unbelievable

And I'm not saying the refs are necessarily bad this game. They absolutely fell for his flops which is annoying but I don't think they are terrible. But to try to act like all fouls are created equally when your dude is out there participating in theater rather than basketball is ridiculous.

Lopez has abused Charlotte tonight. A marvin + Al front court is a recipe for disaster on the defensive end.

I don't know the Westbrook play you are talking about but....

What Cole did there was absolutely standard fare.

As stupid as Tigerdroppings posters are, I seriously doubt they were complaining about an exact comparable play. I find it much more likely that you are making a false parallel. But I havent seen the play so I can't say for sure.

Don't worry, what Cole did was nowhere near what Beverley did. First, the whistle hadn't blown when Cole went for the steal, and second, he just took a swipe at the ball and didn't come in contact with Terry at all.

When westbrook got hurt the whistle had already blown and Beverley just ran right into Westbrook's knee. Just because they both tried to steal the ball doesn't mean they went about it the same way.

Um, obviously he means good big men with a good outside game. AD, Aldridge, and Dirk is about it as far as truly elite goes.

Ha figured. Like I said, without seeing the play, I could tell it was a "see, same exact thing" at the next play that shared 1 element in common with the play in question regardless of how different it was.

Exactly what I meant. Those are the three players I was thinking of when I typed that.

You could have sent him a PM if you didn't want it to be for the public forum.

Not to mention, you answered it exactly right because it wasn't hard to figure out. Some people here just look for reasons to argue.
