In last two minutes of a half I thought clock would keep running if ball carrier was not going forward when out of bounds. Is it only end of game or am I totally off about that rule?

Why was Vuc standing out of bounds?

Didn’t watch the game but from the clip I see they have a good lead. Did those points he gave up on those plays prevent them from winning by the 12+ they needed to advance in the IST?

That looked so easy. Was it mostly from Harden giving no effort to fight over the screen or were there more poor decisions or efforts form the Clippers players there?

Was quarter really over by the time the ball went OB?

In the play by play they list Joker as getting a turnover with Collins getting a steal and also give Collins a turnover for stepping out of bounds immediately after the “steal”. Seems like should be nothing.

During the Knockout Rounds on days when In-Season Tournament games are not scheduled (Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8), the 22 teams that do not qualify for the Knockout Rounds will each play two regular-season games.

Similarly their offence would be slightly better also, but already at #1.

A better way to state my position is “I want my team to maximize their chances for the actual championship”. If they make the Wildcard I will root for them of course. Regarding the birds analogy I consider the actual championship an immensely better bird.

With that much time left wouldn’t it be better to not try the TD pass?

2nd time now that Zeke got muscled to the baseline setting up for a FT rebound.

Is not tapping the backboard or get a technical an actual rule?

Did they change it from shooting foul to non shooting or was it initially ruled a shooting foul? If the first case would it be a successful challenge?

Betting site I just looked at has Denver first at +220. Then Suns +330, Warriors +650, Lakers +950 and then Clippers at +1100

“but we all can agree that bones hyland is a good player”

Only in the sense that every NBA player is really good.

Why did they let Warriors/Curry delay so much and waited to give Joker the ball?

Anyone have replay form the Aaron Gordon save? I thought he might have been out of bounds.

Hard to call them shoo-ins when Wallace didn’t make in until his 5th year of eligibility and Rodman until his 6th.

Iguodala had a lot of seasons without an accolade such as all star or all defense where he was a very good player. A sub-all star in Ben Taylor’s terminology. His career value is thus much better than it looks from accolades.

If you look at career win shares he is at 100.36. Tim Hardaway had 84.89. Derrick Rose has 44.2. If one values career value more than peak value he definitely deserves more consideration than those two. And those numbers do not take into account the four championships and the FMVP.
