amac Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 That was sick. I think we've quashed the "lolpels trade AD already" narratives anyway. Gentry has been great, I never thought it was fair to blame him for the past couple of seasons considering all the injuries and constant roster turnover he dealt with. Feel like Mirotic is incredibly underrated on defense. Shocked how versatile he's been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pelicans hit a bunch of shots in the first half that they hadn't been hitting. I just don't see the game as that significant. The Pelicans are better than some were giving them credit for being, but we're not going to see a miraculous turnaround imo. EDIT: What I mean by the free throws not being significant is that the only guy who really has a gripe about not getting to the line more is AD, but he's a post guy being guarded by smaller defenders. I don't see the refs suddenly flipping a switch and calling things differently. It's been 3 games, and they've called it the same each game. Nah. Jrue has been super aggressive all post season going to the rim and he doesn’t get calls either. Jrue and AD both have legit gripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It's funny how much of a defensive liability Steph Curry is. He's was pretty Harden-esque last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been attacking guys like Durant, Thompson, Iguodala, Draymond, etc. I haven't seen the game being called very differently for Jrue than the Warriors' wings.

The Warriors have gone to the line a lot, for the exact same fouls. The reffing hasn't been atrocious, but they aren't giving AD and Jrue the calls they're giving KD, Green and Klay.

But that's how they treat post players against smaller defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one way. Because I've been watching the games. How many of those FTAs occurred because the Pelicans were in the bonus or fouling at the end of the game? How many occurred on fastbreaks? How many were three point shots where the Pelicans defender stupidly fouled? How many are due to the Pelicans defenders not being as good or undersized (on the wings)?

Jrue has been getting mauled at the rim, so has AD. No calls. Yesterday in a blow out the Warriors more than doubled the amount of FTs the Pelicans took lol. You're legit the only person I've talked to about this series that doesn't think the Pelicans have been getting shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
