As Billy Tubbs once learned in a basketball game in Norman…”No matter how bad the officiating gets you can’t throw things on the floor.”
So as Jamal said…”It is what it is.” The officiating was so bad in Game 2 even when Coach Malone was deliberately trying to get a technical to wake up his team in Game 2…he couldn’t get one.
But you cannot throw things on the floor and the NBA fined Jamal a hundred thousand dollars to make a pittance gesture that the Nuggets are not being given preferential treatment.
Here a simple fact…the Nuggets were putrid in Game 2. Jokic and Jamal committed 10 combined tirnovers. Michael Porter played like an even more scared whiney little bitch than Reggie Jackson.
But as Jamal said…”It is what it is.” Period. Let’s see some basketball in Game 3 from the Nuggets.
The Nuggets will either show up tomorrow night in Minny or their season is over.
I feel better having addressed all of this on the underground blog.
Just saw the NBA regular season MVP voting results. I’m surprised. I went 1 Shai, 2 Ant, and 3 Jokic.
Like I’ve written on here many times…I write what I think and feel. Nobody owns me. I had Shai by a nose over Ant just like Mystic Frank in the Kentucky Derby. I’m surprised it went this way.
