I actually don't have a problem with that call, but I do take issue with an uncalled offensive foul on Lebron later on that was called on Tatum for his 5th I believe. That one was actually ridiculous.

Sorry, if you think that's a clean block, then we're living in different realities. Nice, for a second I thought I was losing my mind. That's exactly what repay showed. Ball in Roziers hand and LeBron getting all hand. How can you say he got all hand? He got the ball first that shouldn’t even be debatable at this point. Jmei literally posted a pic of that. Call it a foul all you want; I’m cool with that but let’s not say it was all hand. Ball was involved. |

He got the ball first that shouldn’t even be debatable at this point. Jmei literally posted a pic of that. Call it a foul all you want; I’m cool with that but let’s not say it was all hand. Ball was involved. Show me a picture on the same angle as the one that shows all hand. That first one looks good, but at that angle you can't tell if he got ball or his hand is just really close. Given how strong LeBron is and with Rozier being one handed with the ball. If LeBron actually got the ball on that first grainy small photo, how does the second picture happen? Your trying to tell me big strong LeBron gets all ball and little old Rozier keeps complete control for the second photo? The one that clearly shows Rozier has 100% control and LeBron has all hand, no ball. The first one is just a bad angle my friend. Its one of those plays that looks different from different angles. I'm 100% convinced that if LeBron had ball in that first one, Rozier loses control and the second photo that is crytal clear can't happen. Can you say your 100% sure he has ball in that first photo from that crappy angle? |

Here's every slow-mo angle you can want. LeBron gets the side of the ball immediately before or at the same time as he gets Rozier's hand. That's why the ball goes sideways there. Even in the tizzle picture above, LeBron's hand is on the side of the ball, and if you get the ball, the contact with the hand isn't a foul. ADD: here are the relevant excerpts from the NBA's official rule book and case book: |

It's all about which you hit first and that video does show he grazed the ball first in one angle. I was wrong, go Warriors!

Great run by the Celts comes to an end much later than most expected. Not sure what to make of Kyrie not being on the bench cheering the boys on, hopefully nothing, probably nothing but still a head scratcher. Can't wait til next year and to see what happens this offseason, with Danny you just never know. Kyrie wasn’t on the bench because he had surgery on his nose. |

I won't make too much out of it, but why couldn't he wait? I've had that surgery and at most it's 2-3 weeks till full recovery. At the same time if they pack it, you don't want to do anything. It was a crappy two weeks thats for sure.

It was a crappy two weeks thats for sure. I, and I’m sure the Celtics, would like him to get it done and not delay his rehab. If they win, then the Finals aren’t a good time either so next thing you know you’re 3 weeks behind on rehab and training. This is a nothing to see here moment. |

Also, it’s not like he was on the operating table in the middle of the game. I believe he had the surgery a few days before but didn’t want to sit courtside because his face was still all scarred up. I think it’s more vanity (realized last minute how beat up he looks and not wanting to show his face) than anything else.

Call me confused but if Irving was such a big part of helping Rozier and Smart and leading the team from the bench, I don't get this timing at all. The first few days after that surgery you don't want to do anything. So he was away from the team when he needed him most. You can't have it both ways! You can't call him a great leader, leading from the bench, helping everyone a ton, then act like this is no big deal.
You won't set back his rehab at all. You don't feel like doing anything, you for sure don't want to be seen in public, but you can do anything you want in regards to rehabbing a knee. My Doc said I could go back to work 3 days after, but everyone waits till the packing comes out, because you look like crap. Usually two weeks after.

Sure you can; look how they shit the bed without his leadership. Point proven, Rozier can’t play without Kyrie helping him. Numbers back it up. Facts indisputable evidence. 😉

I’ve had two sinus surgeries, and I don’t blame him at all for not wanting to be court side. Not only do you look like crap after, but you feel like crap for a couple weeks (my head felt like it was 70 pounds).
This is a nothing issue.

I agree that this is a nothing issue and even if it was an issue (which it absolutely isn't), it wouldn't be for long. Danny does not tolerate any commitment or leadership problems, he'd trade Kyrie first thing in the summer.
