No - the jerseys were bought 2 years ago. no one is just now jumping

10/20/18 12:52am

Nice backtracking. I've mentioned 5 calls in the Warriors favor that helped them

I am not home and don't have access to a dvr. But I don't think the green

Yet KD is allowed to drop his shoulder on defenders in position and isn't called

A shoulder into the chest of a defender literally happens a dozen

They aren't because the one on Green was actually a good call

And all the Spurs championships were because the spurs sold so many jerseys

10/20/18 12:46am

LOL...wait, are you serious? The NBA has zero interest in parity.

Mr Blue

10/20/18 10:37am

Really? What do they have interest in?

10/20/18 10:41am

Must not have watched the same game I did. Jazz got a TON of help from the refs

I’m pretty much in the same boat. I’d like to see the refs call only what they

10/20/18 8:01am
