    unreal, i swear the refs wanted that cheap foul at the end so people would jump off the nba's backside abt the d rose injury and whether he should have been playing or not

    But Philly don't have a player that can get the calls and take over the game like CP3

    You never know. Who would have thought Nick Young and Reggie Evans would take over this game?

    Sorry. I didn't want to watch a blowout but When did rose get injured? Sounds like it happened in the fourth with the bulls up 20.

    They were up 12 with less than a minute and a half left. Game was over, I think he was close to a triple double, but Thib's should have been disciplined and kept him out.

    a twelve point lead with a minute and a half left is not a safe lead. two quick turnovers and 3 pointers, the lead is cut in half and then what? bring Rose back in? who's to say he doesn't tear his ACL then?

    the majority of coaches would do exactly what Thibs did. it was no one's fault, just unlucky for the Bulls.

    yea but how often does that happen? once in a blue moon? i know his injury was a freak accident and could have happened at any point but that had a big enough lead to take him out.. IMO..

    Should Chris Paul have been playing with the Clippers down by 24 with 8 minutes left? Can you imagine the flack Del Nego would have received if Paul tore up his knee at the 8 minute mark?

    Inuries can happen at any time. Kobe Bryant was still in the game with 2 1/2 minutes left and the Lakers up by 19. Duncan and Parker were in the game with a 15 point lead and 2 1/2 minutes left. Wade was playing with a 30+ point lead and less than 8 minutes to go.

    Grizz played terrible basketball, turnovers and no focus on defense. A Tom T. coached club shouldn't give up a lead that late.

    Greg Popovich is considered by many the best coach in the NBA. T-mac brought the Rockets back on him and that stout defense in less than a minute. AND that takes into consideration that the Spurs made all their free throws too.

    1 game. I've seen more where Pop took guys out when they were down/up 19 in the 3rd.

    Why were Duncan and Parker playing with 2 1/2 minutes left and a 15 point lead yesterday?

    yea, took them out to rest for a few minutes. there's no way Pop is giving up on a game with a 19 point lead/deficit only in the 3rd quarter.
