I never excused them. Don't know what you mean. OKC's effort and focus since the All-Star break has been hot and cold, never steady, and it's bitten them several times.
And they had 19 seconds left. What the hell was he thinking? And man, listening to Boston's announcers whining like crazy is just so annoying and laughable at the same time.
Pierce did hit Smith there. Acting job or not, that's a foul. Dude is losing his damn mind. Hate this guy. Him and Sean Elliot are the worst; so homerish that it's mind-boggling. Clippers announcers are coming close since the Clips are relevant this year.
damnit i hate the knicks, cant believe they won...oh well, i guess there isnt THAT much difference between a 14th or 16th pick
Joe Johnson I think it was drove in and got hammered and they were complaining about that too. I was actively rooting against the Celtics because the announcer sounds like one of those stereotypical loud drunk New England pricks.
and the spurs had 1 offensive rebound, by tony parker. that's pretty crazy. (edit: spurs also only team since '85-'86 to have a 0 offensive rebound game, back in 2002)
This is why Bynum can pretty much do whatever he wants and gets away with it. He knows this, the Lakers know this, and knowledgeable basketball fans know this. Not saying it's right or wrong, but his attitude, antics, etc... are irrelevant because he will be tolerated because of his elite talent level no matter how much people in the media and on the internet b**** and moan about Bynum and the things that he does.
