If the Mavs end up playing the Suns... go Mavs. I never thought I'd say that, but that's how much I despise this Phoenix team. I've never seen a luckier bunch in my life.
SERIOUSLY. I feel the same way. Rooted for the Lakers. Rooted for the Wizards Rooting for the Spurs. Rooting for the Clippers. Rooting for the Pistons.
kaman has a sore shoulder. I've lost confidence in Cuttino. that dude was missing POINT BLANK LAYUPS. I feel bad for sam. he played like a warrior.
What a tough loss for the Clips....hopefully they can back strong for the next two games...damn the suns are some lucky sons of b****es
Oh, and for the record, there's not even a debate. If you're up by three in the final five seconds of a game, FOUL. ALWAYS FOUL. Afraid of fouling them in the act? Then don't slap them - grab them by both arms so they physically can't shoot. It's not that difficult. It amazes me that people even term that a debate. It's common sense and logic against absolute stupidity.
Some mistakes that I can point out in Dunleavy's rotation in OVERTIME: -Okay I understand that Maggette is turnover prone. But why not put Quentin Ross out there instead of Livingston? The kid plays good defense against Nash, fine, but Ross is supposed to be their Bruce Bowen. Tack on the fact that Ross is a better shooter than Livingston makes me -Not putting in Kaman in offensive possessions. The Clippers were getting outrebounded by THE SUNS in OT. THE SUNS!!!! Some of those ill-advised shots by the Clippers could have been helped if they had someone other than Elton Brand beneath the basket. And he's an offensive player that could have forced the Suns into stop doubling on Brand. -Leaving Radmonovic in there. He was a NON-FACTOR on both ends of the floor. His man kept blowing by him and he never even tried to move around to get open. He made key shots in regulation but c'mon Radman...I think this is Dunleavy's fault. He could have used someone that could create their own shot or even get open in Radmanovic's place
I dunno... Raja did a little curl out and shot it as soon as he caught the pass. It would have been hard to make a non-shooting foul I think.
His back was to the basket when he caught the ball. Yes, Ewing would've had to foul incredibly quick, but there shouldn't be a debate... it should be that easy. Touch, foul. Especially with a foul to give. Bearhug him in that half-second his back was to the basket.
Rudy T fouled at the end of that Mario Elie Kiss of Death Game. Everyone forgot about that. We were up 3, we fouled them and made it a free throw shooting contest.
Yeah, I think it's easier said than done. When someone catches that ball above the three point line and even if you bear hug him, if even his finger is in the motion of shooting, it's 3 free throws. It's a tough call.
yeah you're right... either that or they should have guarded the line and gave up the 2 pointer... guess they didnt bank on it being raja bell's birthday
Geez, Tinman, what do you have, every picture of every Rockets moment in history? Incredible. Do you have a photo of Vernon doing that jumping-up-in-the-air after that 3 in Game 7 of 1994? You know what's really crazy? And I hate to think this, because we earned both championships. What if John Starks' 3 would've went in in Game 6 of 1994? And what if Wesley Person's shot would have rolled in instead of rolling around and popping out in Game 5 of 1995? Eerie.
