I would root for the Bulls if Noah wasn't on their team. Guy is a twat.

GSW looking so good.

I think a GSW/Cavs finals would be amazing. I'm hoping Kyrie gets back to full health ASAP.

I'm a Miami fan but GSW are my next favourite, so GO WARRIORS!

Time for Kyrie to sit for 2 full weeks and try to get healthy.

This series is over.

Combination of excuses lol Flagrant foul because he didn't even attempt to make a play on the ball.

Ya it's too bad the ATL/CLE series looks like it's over. Korver is out for the playoffs, Carroll is playing injured, and the Hawks offence hasn't looked too good the whole playoffs.

I thought this was a good article by Zach Lowe which among other things goes into detail on how the Cavs are defending the Hawks.

Yeah, shame about Korver.

I really thought it would be a better series...hell, anything can happen still...but it doesn't look good for ATL. That's why I laughed when people picked the Hawks in 4 or 5 games. They don't have the Cavs talent...not even close.

The Warriors on the other hand...

Flagrant 2 on Horford was a bad call - then throwing in a technical on Dellevadova ( spelling? ) was even more stupid.

Nice triple double from James though. Especially after missing his first 10.

I can see the flagrant 2. Dropping an elbow on a guy is not acceptable. I don't think he should be suspended another game though.

What I don't understand is how anyone is making Dellavedova out to be the bad guy there. Horford had his arm locked and then pulled him down to the ground. How is that Delly's fault? Same with the Korver play...clean basketball hustle play.

Also, the hawks fans blaming the NBA and refs saying they rigged it are hilarious. Like the NBA enjoys watching a lopsided sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals. They're losing millions of dollars...

It was a Flagrant 2. That elbow move was not in the act of falling. It looked very deliberate on the part of Horford. If it looks any part deliberate the NBA will lay the hammer down on the foul and suspension. It might have look clumsy because he lost his balance, but he had no need to try to hit the cavs player with the elbow.

Dellavedova's technical explained:

"We felt that he made contact with his head and shoulders into the knee area of Horford, so we ruled that a liveball physical taunt technical foul," referee Ken Mauer said to a pool reporter."

Basically calling it a deliberate move.

The whole 'above the shoulder' ruling is stupid in this case. If Horford gets a flagrant 2 for a deliberate elbow above the shoulders, and Del gets a technical for a deliberate move at the knees and gets a technical, there's an issue.

NBA players cherish there knees and ankles.

I'm not saying Del did it on purpose ( I don't think he did with either Korver or Horford ) but the refs are saying he did.

Watch this:

The media wants storylines...making Cleveland out to be dirty is a great storyline.

How can anyone watch this and say that Delly was even 1% in the wrong here? Seriously?

It clearly shows Delly being dragged down, then you can see Horford raising his elbow up. It was a clear attempt to elbow Delly.

I give Horford a F in elbow drop execution. He needs to give The Rock a call in how to perform a good elbow drop. :-D

That angle especially, but in all the angles you could see it wasn't intentional.

I don;t think he did it on purpose, but the technical he was given basically says the refs think he did it on purpose.

Yeah I didn't understand the technical at all. They had to have seen that replay 10+ times...

The elbow drop was intentional. There was no need for him to raise the elbow. It didn't serve any purpose to brace himself for falling. He could have braced his fall by using his hands and not even come close to landing on Delly that much. He raised up and slammed down on top of him.

As for Delly hitting Korver, that was just a hustle play that was a bit aggressive. You see that type of diving around tons of times in NCAA basketball on a loose ball. It was just a bad break that Korver got hurt on it. That is Delly's style. He's a gritty, going to play 110%, and be scrappy. I have no problem with that type of play.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
