Check out my Donovan Mitchell highlights I put together guys tell me what you think

 

[Mission Accomplished]

Don't you still owe us a ban for Hairdon Greybush making the allstar team last year?

Nope he is not on the team anymore. Should his obsessed fans be banned?

I guess you don't like AB. That is fine. Carry on.

Looking at that again that could have and probably should have been a flagrant foul from Russ. That second one he goes right at his head on purpose with an elbow.

Some of the officiating in the middle of the game was probably by far the worse I've seen all season long. I can't believe it took Rubio to get whacked in the face to finally get the call, after he pushed the ground, then hit on the head, AND THEN smacked in the face to get the call. While Gobert is getting pushed in the back from Adams and gets called for a foul. That was hilarious at best on that call

Rubio: He doesn't get the calls because he has earned a reputation for overreacting to minor contact. If every time you get touched you fall to the floor, then the refs are going to be looking at the play with a skeptical eye when you are legitimately knocked to the floor. Also, if you're trying hard to win a thespian award, then you are not concentrating on the game.

Gobert: Rudy will just have to figure out how to be effective without relying on the refs. It would help if he would quit bitching about getting fouled on every shot attempt.

I can't recall a single time where Donovan bitched about a non-call, he just picks himself up and runs to the other end of the floor. I wish certain Jazz veterans would follow the rookie's example.

Jazz need to be more savvy... and by savvy I mean slightly dirty. If you watched whenever Gobert was boxing out for any rebound, one of the Thunder players not named Adams would grab Gobert's arm, jersey, or anything to prevent him from getting a rebound. I didn't see a lot of that from Jazz players. It's the playoffs... teams will get away with that and I hope the Jazz realize this going forward in the series.

Rubio completely sucked today.

When he's bad, he's really bad. There's a reason he's open for 18 shots. Long-term, we really need an upgrade at PG. Can't have a dude who can't shoot a lick, it really hurts.

Huh, I thought this argument was put to bed last January.

Made it while he was on the team. It's not about him, and it's a shame you're trying to weasel your way out of it by making it about him.

It's about accountability.

 

[MVP]

He's from new zealand, think canada but with more sheep

here is how it is here in spring...

^^

NZ is heaven compared to the frozen wasteland that is Canada.

Only Vancouver has decent weather.

I was just pissed they didn't go review it... they go review every potential clear path foul for 45 minutes but can't review one where a guy takes a couple swipes at a dudes face. Kind of on the coach not to ask for it though. I'd always ask because many times in slow mo those look worse than they really are.

Not really...CP3 flops and whines all the time and it has worked for him. Favors doesn't say anything and plays through contact and I still think he gets one of the ********* whistles in the league. Dude gets murdered without calls on the regular. The NBA regularly rewards flopping and bitching... its a sad fact. The MVP of the damn league is a master at tricking refs and has made a living on drawing BS fouls... to the point where guys can't put their hands anywhere near him or he will bait the refs into a BS foul.
