    Does anyone have this in .avi or .wmv or something other than real one? It's so fuzzy on real one and you can save it to disk.

    Either Boki wanted to be on a poster or he was trying to show his tuffness

    That dunk was just nasty. How good or bad a player Wallace is doesn't matter.

    It wasnt a charge . Nobody else in the league is saying its a charge. " If you jump over a stiffy, you must not aquiffy." In Bokis picture says it all. HOw bout instead of looking at the ground and trying to pull a Stockton acting job,get some cojones and use your arms to throw Wallace to the ground. You guys just dont know how mad this makes our team look to other players.

    Other nba players(Like Rasheed Wallace) know they can slam Francis to the ground(like last year when Francis slammed his head because of Sheeds push in air) and not have to worry about retailiation. Other players can just drive and penetrate on Ming all game long and nobody on the rockets will body up and throw or a man down. And those players come right back and try to hurt Steve and Mobley. You guys just dont get how tuff you have to be to win consistantly. Eye for an eye. If I was Francis I would demand a trade because nobody on this team has Steves back.

    Like last year when in the Wizards game in Dc when Oakley threw Hawkins down. All the rockets(Taylor) just stood around and picked noses and butts and were to scared to foul Jordan hard. What a soft ass team. I had hope JVG would change that. So much for optimism .

    Why does everyone keep saying it was a foot close to the free throw line?? It wasn't neer the free throw line... Great dunk though! I'm rather proud of nackbar for not fouling him on that play. I don't like it when someone is in the air for a long time and some scrubb undercuts him or fouls him dangerously just to stop one basket... know what I mean...

    A foot or so (i.e. one or two feet). The free throw circle has a radius of 6 feet. That means the bottom of the circle is 3 feet from the free throw line. He took off approx one foot behind and to the right of the bottom of the cirle. Do the math and he took off about 2 feet inside the FT line.

    What? Maybe you were just so mesmerized by the dunk that you completely missed the foul. Yes Boki was called for the blocking foul and Wallace got his "and 1".

    I take it you didn't do very well in geometry. If the radius of the free throw circle is 6ft then the bottom of the circle to the free throw line is "6ft"!!! I'll take it that you meant to say diameter, but who are you trying to fool by saying that the circle is 6ft in diameter. And for the second time, you need to check again!

    The diameter of the FT circle is indeed 12 ft so the radius is 6 ft.

    The .WMV file posted by qwerty shows a much better view, it looks like Wallace took off about 4 ft inside the FT line.

    Exactly!! Our local Albert (codell) Einstein is not very perceptive.
    A radius of 3ft. Laughable!

    Geometry Lesson #2


    http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Diameter.html


    Nevermind the diameter of a sphere codell; that may be too complex. In this lesson we need to focus on the formula: D=2r where D(diameter) = 2(two times) r(radius).

    A telling moment in that clip: The announcers says, "The emphatic slam by Wallace over the rookie Nachbar."

    Evidently, Bustjan road the pine so much last year that people think he's a rook. Nobody remembers seeing him last season.
