RIPPA Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 So Patrick Beverley is clearly gonna get a talking to from the league First he fired a ball into the stands while he was on the bench - hitting fans both times Then after the game, he refused to answer a question from a female reporter because, and I am not making this up, "she didn't subscribe to his podcast" Side note - you would know none of this happened if you relied on ESPN for your coverage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hearing how this was handled on ESPN concerning the Beverly mess, it really makes me hope that this story of "NBA on TNT" and more importantly Inside the NBA being gone isn't true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It also doesn't help that Barkley a couple days ago called "NBA media" a bunch of cowards who want to be friends with the players. Granted some of the TNT guys do that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Sucks the Bucks lost but no Giannis and no Lillard meant bad times. Plus I believe the Pacers had their number throughout the season anyway so it wasn't much of a surprise for me. As for Beverly it was a dumb move. Even if the Pacers fan was doing whatever throughout the game you don't throw stuff at them or do anything remotely physical. That's what security is for and if they couldn't handle that then some blame should go on them. But Beverly is an idiot and if Bucks future was uncertain I have a hard time believing they'll keep him.

Potential direction to go with that would be that Patrick Beverly has been used as a talking head in the post-season when his teams have been eliminated. I know he did some First Take and NBA Today appearances last post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Tomorrow's games will tell the story, but I get the feeling we're in for two boring second round series and two batshit crazy ones. Jamal Murray just made the money hand gesture at one of the refs and got away with it. Granted, he was arguing a bullshit call, but...

Lawful Metal Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Wow the Pacers got absolutely hosed by the refs in New York tonight. I’ll never understand how the NBA will take an exciting finish and decide the game with questionable ref calls and free throws. LET THEM PLAY. nah everybody wants to watch Zach Zarba make the tough call on an illegal screen or a foul on the inbound.  so stupid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanie Sparkleface Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Meanwhile, Minnesota is utterly mauling Denver. Like up by 26 at the half. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 And then TNT rubs it in on Denver by playing the nWo Wolfpack theme song as the game goes to halftime. Jesus that was crazy. Denver HAS to start punching back instead of shot hunting. None of it's going to be easy; if you're the champs, then take and make the contested ones.

Brian Fowler Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) If Minnesota wins this series, we'll be guaranteed to tie the NBA record for most consecutive years with different NBA champions at six. Last and only time it happened was 1975 to 1980 when the Warriors, Celtics, Blazers, Bullets, Sonics and Lakers each grabbed a title before Boston broke the streak.

Contentious C Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Derrick is going off in the third for Boston, but it'd be just a little too on the nose to change the team name to the Boston Whites. Edited May 8 by Contentious C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 KP out, JT shot like ass, and the Celtics STILL won by 25.  I'm beginning to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Mitchell Robinson has a stress fracture and is out 6-8 weeks (which would be deep into the Finals), so he's probably done for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
