    Nets are going to win that series.  If KD and Curry shot better this game was done.

    one of the most tedious teams I've ever seen. Never saw a team in the NBA where it was more about who wasn't available.

    Looks like the big trade might be a bust for both teams, at least for this season. Simmons never saw the floor and Harden looks cooked currently.
    Whether Simmons does anything meaningful going forward remains to be seen, he's still quite young, but not sure the dude really cares about basketball, and that's a lot of money to pay a guy who doesn't love the game. Harden may be breaking down and at 32 his best days are clearly behind him

    The Celtics were impressive. Their physicality in that series was championship like.

    If you would have told me that Kyrie and KD were checking out after game 1 I would have called you a liar and a fatmouth.

    KD and Kyrie have lost all credibility with me now...  Oh and Simmons?  Child, please.

    Even though they made it to the playoffs this team is a dumpster fire.

    How is that not a foul?  He was out of the restricted area.  

    Did he get there late?

    With that being said that is Ja's signature move.  I know he has so much hang time that players can get set while he's already airborne!

    If you look closely there really isn't much of any contact, which is remarkable.
    Mainly the contact is when Townes moves his arm at the end.
    Ja somehow manages to not plow through him.

    I disagree.  He had to move him or he would have never reached the basket.

    Contact is contact.  That's a foul.

    Ja's knees are in his chest.

    I don't think that's a foul.. Slow motion shows Townes moving backwards a little right when Ja approaches him too. Incredible dunk.

    Either way, bitchen dunk.  Still say it's a foul, lol.

    I mean, if that kind of contact is a foul, every play in basketball would be as well. haha

    He is posted up in the restricted area.  Any contact w him is a charge, cmon...  Completely different.

    Anyone that sacrifices their body like that should get the call.

    I hate when guys try to take a charge on a dunk. Try to block it instead. I would never in a million years give the defensive player the call there.

    He's outside the restricted area, not in it. If he's in it it's an automatic defensive foul, however it's not an automatic charge outside the area, you're mixing the rule up.

    Buit watch the video in real time, not the twitter slo-mo.
    First off, my bad its Beasley not Townes, thought from the other video it was KAT.
    2nd there is pretty much no contact initiated by Morant. There's no way you call a charge there. Closest thing to contact were Ja's nuts almost landing on top of Beasley's head.

    Looking at that video above^^^ that could've been called a Block as it looked to me that the defender was moving when Ja took off for his Dunk.

    Hell of a Dunk !!
