Porzingis got a tech for arguing a call, the Clippers don’t get them for the same thing. Just a garbage product by the league tonight.

Come on man! We got the Porzingis one right before Porzingis!

After Porzingis was ejected, Leonard had a play where he ran and screamed at a ref over a call. If the game was getting called the same for both teams Leonard would have gotten a tech there.

They stopped doing it after the first 2 it’s like a “point of emphasis” or whatever I don’t get the consistency either but both teams got one dumb rear end one

It gets old when you’ve seen refs rig a finals against your favorite team...shortly after a gambling scandal where the NBA pretended there was only one corrupt ref.

It was a huge part of his evolution into a star in San Antonio. It's practically required.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Doc's biggest asset as a coach is his ability to get extremely favorable refereeing.

the mavs are more than capable of losing a game like this at full strength but that kinda ticky tack ejection is just exhausting, really taken the wind out of my sails and based on my twitter feed, everyone else's as well

I thought it was just cause it was early but yeah. there's gonna be a big big * if anyone outside of LA wins. if an LA team does win we won't hear anything about it because all will be right with the world, but if a small market eastern team wins or there's a dark horse in the west, be prepared to have it referred to as the bubble championship by the major media outlets forever.

with all that being said this has been so fun and fascinating. it's so interesting that where we are as a society is the only thing that functions are our entertainment products, because these are the only avenues where a bunch of billionaires are invested in a positive public outcome

Because Beverley is smaller he gets underneath players taking jumpers and in their space without fouling and it really fucks up shooting rhythm. He was cooking PG

My opinion as an LA fan is that the bubble is dog poo poo and whoever wins, including us, should have an asterisk for playing basketball in what’s essentially a well paid internment camp
