[Slater] Steve Kerr said there was a memo today from the NBA that carrying calls would be an emphasis. Jordan Poole was called for three palming violations: “I guess there was an email today. I didn’t check my email.”

    Shit man, some douchebag corporate manager out there is going to use this story as a reminder why 10 meetings a day is necessary

    If they crack down on it across the league and are consistent about it then whatever. But you know that isn’t going to happen. Refs aren’t consistent with anything

  3. wavetoyou

    I’ll believe it when I see them start calling it on Ja

  4. MaxSmellerman

    Why would they send the memo out now instead of the actual start of the season? Was the carrying so egregious in < 10 games they needed to start?

  5. Thank god…I was starting to think Poole only let the ball hit the ground because it looked cool

    I didn’t watch todays game so idk how obvious the calls egregious the carry was but Poole definitely carries when he hesi out of the shot fake which is literally unguardable and isn’t equivalent to players carrying as they dribble up the court. Same with KD and Ja’s carries, those ones are so obvious.

    I get it, Steve. I have 50 unread emails right now.

    How do you go to work without checking your email?

    looking forward to that Grizzlies game tomorrow…

  10. Dudes crying that his players can’t blatantly break the rules

    Man I love Kerr, but he’s been so insufferable lately.

    Bout time. I saw Ben Simmons dribbling last week and had to rewind it. Mans whole hand was under the ball and they didnt call it once.

    The idea of NBA coaches and players using outlook like the rest of us is hilarious to me. I remember someone commented about Dame emailing Jodie Allen from dlillard@nba.com and that shit still cracks me up when I log onto my work computer

    Been saying that the last few years they were not calling it

  15. HotdogIsaSandwitch

    Bruh, I promise Poole had like double more than he was actually called for. Him and Ja are some of the worst carry handlers.

    Gave CP3 his only turnover in the past two games. Then let KAT dribble above his head next possession lol.
