Are there just no rules about stepping into the paint early on free throws? Gobert missed one, and the overhead camera showed a Warrior stepping into the paint waaaaaay early. Golden State gets the rebound. No penalty called. What the hell is this?

Are there any concrete rules on FTs?

Ant steps over the line before ball touches rim on every FT attempt and it isn't called. But if you tried to miss purposely and go into the lane early they call it.

One of the most frustrating things in all of sports.

Players can go in the lane after the ball is released. But the shooter must wait until it hits the rim.

Yeah. I meant to say they went into the lane before the ball was even released.

Dunno. I hadn’t noticed that. The refs probably give some slack, because most of the time it doesn’t result in an advantage and most of the free throws are made anyway. Nobody wants a violation called on a fraction of a second violation that results in no competitive advantage.

I got him tonight in my parlay. He needs 23+ points and rebounds.

Is that a storyline?

He’s gotten multiple soft fouls guarding SGA because he just doesn’t know how to avoid them. Randle actually does a much better job at that. He recognizes the tricks.

He’s been inconsistent in the playoffs. But you don’t get NBA 6th man of the year for nothing.

Homerism. OKC is really good. I thought it would be a competitive series but gave OKC the edge.

I guess maybe that’s even a homer outlook.

Like last year's conference finals, the bench is killing us. Naz hasn't hit a 3 pointer since game 4 of the semis. Donte just continues to do dumb things at dumb times. He was a team worst -27 last night. Not the playoff performer Knicks fans enjoyed last year.

I think Indy can beat them. They struggled with a depleted Denver team and Adelman outcoached Daigneault in a couple games.

They need to win it this year or next year because they can't keep this core together after that.
