    What does that prove? Hollinger said if he ruled it was on the floor. Not that it was clearly on the floor. I've seen the replay multiple times and you have no way of knowing which way the ref calls it. If they call it when bowen first touches him, fine it's on the floor, but if they call it at the end when his hand is still on lebron's arm, he doesn't dribble again and shoots it. That would be continuation and 3 shots.

    It's not as cut and dry as you think it is. And hollinger just speculating changes nothing because that's all he's doing.

    1st, your thought of that call should be at the begin of the foul or at the end of the foul is funny. If the refs see there's a foul, they should call the foul right at that second.

    So, your question will only become "will the ref not see where the foul begins and call it at the end of the foul because the refs only see the end of the foul?" OR "Will the ref make a mistake?"

    And the answer is obvious: The ref didnt even make a call. If someone think the refs didnt see the foul, they must be stupid. So, what do you think the refs are doing?

    There is no clear rule that says the refs must call a foul at the beginning or end of the play in which there was contact. Also, Hollinger throwing out that stat proves nothing. He is paid by ESPN to be a statistician. After all, LeBron was 7-8 from the line last night. The possibility of making all three free throws was not out of the question.

    As far as the last two paragraphs with your questions, I don't know what the hell you are trying to ask or prove.

    Doublebogey has already made up his mind, no use in trying to debate this anymore.

    He's headed for trouble then because Uncle Les has decreed there shall be nothing but positivity about the new "Showtime" Rockets. No more will the coach be seen actually being truthful about the team in public. The head coach shall only say what the owner wants to hear under penalty of being dismissed. From now on it's happy happy joy joy! Sunshine and roses up the ol' endzone for everyone! I can't wait to see the reaction around here when a few dark clouds start to appear overhead.

    If we can get out of the f*cking first round, the coach can say that our players are all dumbasses or even that the sky is green and grass is blue. I don't care. Just win, damn it.

    I like the Darth Vader music for the Spurs intro.

    haha JVG was asked if he has a 24 hour rule to approach a player about something (talking about the varejao choke play at the end) and jvg replied that he wouldn't even wait 24 seconds to apprehend varejao. good stuff.

    True. Think about it. Spurs have a great organization that drafts Parker and Ginobolli. Rox can't draft period.

    If the Spurs win, at least there will be no need to worry about them next season...

    It feels like a longshot, but it would be nice for the city of Cleveland to witness at least one win in the finals of any sport.

    Watching the Rockets play last season was slightly more exciting than watching my mom knit, but the Spurs - Cavs series is as stimulating as watching paint dry.

    Wow, what an ugly game. One reason why I'm glad JVG is gone....although I was a huge fan of his.
