I never said it hasn't happened, just that it's very rare. You really think it will happen again within 3 weeks?? I mean that would be unheard of.

The NBA insisting that the home team loser of game one virtually always win game 2 in a blowout is the weirdest bit in professional sports. Like even after retired refs have come out and said they try to even it up they keep doing it ?


Don't tell that to some people here. Apparently they think because Denver lost 2 in a row at home to Minnesota, that it was going to happen again in this year's playoffs.

When Naz Reid is your leading scorer, you're not winning a conference finals game.

What if that foul on Kyrie missed on the replay is called and Minny gets free throws?



What if Dallas was given free throws for the 10 missed fouls throughout the game? What if Dallas had gotten the ball at the end of the 1st quarter on the obvious blown call. You can do that all day. The refs suck no doubt...but they've been in Minnesota's favor more often than not throughout these 2 games. Minnesota is +11 in free throws while Dallas has dominated points in the paint and Minnesota has made almost double the 3pt shots that Dallas has.

Kenny said it right, it was a strategic error by the coaching staff and Luka is confirming it in this interview. Draymond is a fig, though


The Shaq and Dray hate for Rudy is hilariously petty. Both those dudes would have had the exact same thing happen to them if they were on the floor so if they think Rudy should have been pulled the same would apply to them and we all know they’d never agree w/that.

What’s funny is Dallas basically did to Ant what Kenny said should have been Minnesota’s plan on Luka. They got the ball out of his hands and hoped Naz would miss.

Comparing this to the Denver series is a bit silly. Minnesota was just dominant in those first 2 games and Denver was awful.

Minnesota has been good this game and has their bench playing great, and still lost. That is significantly different. When Reid is making 3 after 3 and has 23 points, and no one really played badly, and you still lose? That is a major issue.

Minnesota is a young team and may or may not bounce back from this. Denver bouncing back was less surprising because they were defending champs and had significant playoff experience. In the end, only time will tell, but should be an interesting game 3 either way.

I think Ant is going to try and force the issue, and that could backfire gloriously.
