Knicks-Sixers L2M for Game 2

[cgf]

Well that's just it. It is about quelling complaints. Sometimes the teams just want acknowledgement that refs fudged up and they can move on - also this is about clarification of rules. Otherwise interpretations become a problem.

yea I noticed CNC is hugely popular with young women. Older women never requests this. I'd like to hear your theories on why that is - send me a PM!

True...I just wish they did a better job of the clarifying the rules part. Like I still would like an explanation for why the contact on Hart was marginal when Maxey initiates the contact, extends both arms, and Hart gets thrown off balance by it.

Not saying that they're wrong to call that a correct non-call but the fouls on Maxey incorrect non-calls; I just want to understand why for my own edification.

What's not said is, the NBA is saying is Hart exaggerated the contact. That's why they are calling it "marginal" when Hart was falling backwards.

***If this OT tangent isn't board appropriate, can a mod let me know and we'll take this to PM's if there's anything more to be said***

Having talked about this with a lot of the girls that were into and many of my platonic female friends...and having had sketchy experiences of my own with an older girl when I was entirely too young...my best understanding is that (like everything in life) it's a combination of many factors, but (arguably) the biggest are:

Porn getting more violent & more girls watching extreme porn at very young ages; it playing into the age gap thing; and...not just how many women have either experienced real sexual violence/abuse for themselves, or had someone close to them affected by it...but how much more aware they are of how common place it is amongst all groups of women.

So, like most kinks (if explored with a trustworthy partner*), it can provide a safe environment in which to play through similar experiences. Either for catharsis about an ever-present fear, or to be able to interact with those experience that have been bottled up without being utterly overwhelmed.

Plus it plays on that connection between fear & arousal that can be formed when your formative sexual experiences are unwanted & terrifying.


*which itself is a major gamble in the bdsm world...there are just sooooo many narcissistic little boys that call themselves doms instead of the scum that they really are...

yeah porn contributing to it makes a lot of sense. It's the generation that grew up with rampant porn online.

I guess that could make sense. Feels like a stretch because exaggerating contact doesn't negate the contact...whether Hart exaggerates it or not, Maxey initiates the contact, extends both arms, and Hart is moved away from him as a result...so I can get the refs not calling it in the moment because they had swallowed their whistles and thought Josh was selling it, but not why it's considered a correct no call in the report.


Porn's part of them finding that that's what they're into, but them being into it is much more about how ever present that fear of sexual violence/abuse is, how much more cognizant they are of just how ubiquitous it is, and how many of them have personal experiences. So far every girl I've met who was into it, eventually told me about their personal experiences with abuse once they felt comfortable enough to open up...whereas only some of them had ever even watched porn for themselves.

Seems like they're both the same. The outcome is predetermined.

Gosh you Sixers fans are acting like such little babies.

You lost a really good game. It was a physical, tough battle and the refs were letting them play all game. I'll take that over a game where the refs are blowing their whistle over ever little thing. There are still 5 games left. The series ain't over! If we got 5 more games like that and it ends in a Knicks series loss I think we'll look back at this as one of the greatest series ever. If the Knicks lose that, I'll still be very proud of this team and will probably root for the Sixers to get out of the East.

But if you seriously think this is all rigged and the outcomes are pre-determined, then you should just stop watching. Whats the fun in it? I'm being serious. Why would you watch this game and post on a message board if this is really what you believe. What a sad life.

You have to understand we literally just lost a Super Bowl on a BS holding call against the Eagles. Now the refs literally missed Maxey being fouled twice in a situation where the Knicks had to foul being down 2 with that amount of time left. They also missed Nurse calling timeout which is ridiculous because again they should be expecting the 76ers to call time out in that situation to advance the ball. that is a total lack of situational awareness by the officiating crew.

I like the Knicks, they have a bunch of Philly Nova guys that have class and are overachievers that play their butts off but the refs really butchered that entire sequence.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses. A game never comes down to 1 play. Even on the one play that you are blaming this entire loss on, if they get the defensive rebound that they were 1 on 4 on, none of it matters. If Maxey can get that layup off on Hartenstein, none of it mattery. The Knicks weren't trying to foul in that sitaution, they were trying to get a steal. Once the ball was loose they were definitely not trying to intentionally foul and that is when Nurse was trying to call a timeout. Did Brunson foul Maxey on the hold? YES! But they weren't calling holding on the inbound all frickin game, and it would have been inconsistent for them to do it then and I think the refs actually did a good job of being consistent there. Thats really all any of us should be asking for...

Good luck the rest of the series!
