*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (3 Viewers)

[got_nugs]

Raymond Ethan Allen....its your time to shine.

Kinda happy he signed with the Heat

 

[Abraham]

How is that not a foul???

Mostly because his entire hand was on the ball.

sure. But his other hand and both arms and legs were all over the guy.

 

[Mister CIA]

And that concludes The Blunder Bowl.

 

[Grady Wilson]

Damn, my cable went out...what's the score?

Weren't you the one whining and crying the other night about the Heat not getting any calls? Care to comment now????

 

[SlaX]

Doris Burke has to be the most emotionless interviewer I've ever witnessed.

 

[flapgreen]

Same ol NBA.

 

[Judge Smails]

Terrific game - one of the best I've ever seen.

For all those begging for a foul - they NEVER call that stuff at the end of the game, and the players know it.

Miami showed me a lot of heart today - thought they were choking like dogs.

 

[Dought Man]

Atleast the Spurs covered. Man, what a sport. Whoever says the NBA isn't what it used to be is nuts.

 

[Hang 10]

That's awful. Such a well played game with a stain on it like that. He would have missed the free throws anyway i imagine.

 

[Premier]

Good football game down the stretch.

Manu picked up the first down and then some.

 

[tdoss]

Damn, my cable went out...what's the score?

Stern wins again...

 

[Abraham]

That's awful. Such a well played game with a stain on it like that. He would have missed the free throws anyway i imagine.

Everyone knows that isn't a foul in the 4th quarter and overtime.

My rule book doesn't have sections for each quarter.

ok

 

[Juxtatarot]

They need to allow replay review for possible fouls in the last minute of games when the score is within 3 points. Period.

 

[saintfool]

can't believe that's what the spurs went with.

It wasn't. They were supposed to call timeout to get Parker back in the game. Ginobili went rogue.

did it against dirk too in the WCF a couple of years back. still pissed about that...

 

[Insein]

Did you watch the same play? He contested sure but he got ball.

 

[Judge Smails]

Wow...they rode Ginobili as traveled the lane and then Bosh bodies Green into the stands while stuffing his shot.

It didn't matter what the Spurs did tonight...the script was written in quick drying cement tonight.

that is such whining BS. Have you ever watched the end of an NBA playoff game?

Ginobli did nothing different than all of the non-calls James got early in the game. Rightfully so.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Did you guys not pay attention to all the drives of James and wade without foul calls all game? That's just how they were letting them play tonight.

 

[Todem]

Lebron and Bosh were monsters in the 4th and OT.....and Ray Ray....sweeeeeeet!

What a game.

Exhausted. Elated.

Good night. See ya Thursday night.

 

[dickey moe]

Doris Burke has to be the most emotionless interviewer I've ever witnessed.

Kinda wish she would've went up to Popovich after the game. He probably would've punched her in the throat.

 

[Vision6]

Bosh plays amazing defense when he's allowed to hit opposing players

 

[got_nugs]

If loving Stern winning is wrong....I don't wanna be right.

 

[Todem]

Uhhhh.

No.

Last couple of years the NBA is the best it's been since the 80s.

 

[Shrugs]

Pop supposed to be the best coach in the NBA and he probably blew the championship by removing Duncan for the Heat's final possession of regulation and then not getting the timeout to put Parker back in the game at the end of OT.

The NBA does.

 

[Raider Nation]

Too bad TNT didn't have this game. Could you imagine Kenny Smith's incoherent babbling right now?

 

[pollardsvision]

Am I missing something? What was the purpose of having Splitter on the court and Parker on the bench?

3 on 5 against MIA isn't going to work very often.

 

[Mile High]

NBA...it's REFtastic!

Don't know why I keep bothering with it.

From now on I'm calling the NBA the WWE

 

[NutterButter]

Some real bad coaching by Pop down the stretch. How you're not feeding Timmy in the post is hard to explain.

There's actually a very simple explanation. The Heat are an outstanding defensive team. With LeBron on him, Parker was pretty much limited to side-to-side movement and couldn't get the ball inside. And Parker is such a defensive liability he had to to be subbed out on key defensive possessions, limiting SAS's chances to get transition buckets off of misses.

Wait, they couldn't get it inside to Timmy b/c Parker was being guarded so well by James? Then have Ginobli bring it up the floor. They kept try to force feed that pick and roll with Parker and that was going nowhere.

 

[saintfool]

tough loss but it sets up an epic game 7. i don't think the spurs will be lacking for confidence but they - especially Pop - will need to be in better control throughout the game.

 

[Dought Man]

Duncan/Splitter in the game when all they needed was a 3 was a head scratcher from Pop.

 

[Juxtatarot]

They need to allow replay review for possible fouls in the last minute of games when the score is within 3 points. Period.

Uhhhh.

No.

Why do I feel that you'd have a different opinion if the Heat had lost with questionable calls down the stretch?

 

[tdoss]

Good football game down the stretch.

Manu picked up the first down and then some.

Bosh with the tackle of the night though...

Where we at with NFL rules...is that tackle now considered a penalty...unnecessary roughness or something?

 

[CurlyNight]

Man when Parker missed that 1 free throw, I thought Pop was going to Pop!

Really? Nba has had some bad calls but this was hardly a prime example of corruption. This game was actually pretty even.

You couldn't possibly have typed that thinking it was clever.

 

[Dought Man]

Have to hope Timmay didnt leave it all out there tonight. He looked ####### exhausted for the last 10 mins of gametime.

 

[Todem]

And The Spurs.....ran out of gas. They simply ran out. The Heat played ultra high pressure defense...Lebron was all over TP.

The Spurs were spent.

Lebron stepped up like a man in the 4th quarter tonight.

And it all came down to a Bosh rebound and Ray Allen three. Then a Bosh block to clinch.

Amazing game.

 

[thecatch]

Pop supposed to be the best coach in the NBA and he probably blew the championship by removing Duncan for the Heat's final possession of regulation and then not getting the timeout to put Parker back in the game at the end of OT.

Plenty of blame to go around. Duncan could not generally seal his man in the post in the second half, and when he did, he was ineffective. Green was invisible. Manu pulled a wade and actively hurt the team badly tonight.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Best finals since since 96?

 

[flapgreen]

Good football game down the stretch.

Manu picked up the first down and then some.

Bosh with the tackle of the night though...Where we at with NFL rules...is that tackle now considered a penalty...unnecessary roughness or something?

It's not considered a penalty.

 

[got_nugs]

Don't know if tv cameras caught but Wade Bron screamed at each other when down, stormed away pissed and then later apologized to each other

From twitter - LeBatard

 

[17seconds]

Just watched it back. Ginobli ran from the 3pt line to the middle of the key cradling the ball like Marcus Allen. Lol

It was all ball? If you get ball first in the nba they dont call body and I'm not sure he even got,body on him

Absolutely not. Regardless.

I can't stand replay of any kind in any sports (other than goal reviews in the NHL because of the speed of that game). Hate it with a passion.

If loving Stern winning is wrong....I don't wanna be right.

Again,

Too bad TNT didn't have this game. Could you imagine Kenny Smith's incoherent babbling right now?

I'd like to reiterate my promise to FFA: if I win the Powerball before next June, I'm hiring Ernie, Sir Charles, and Jet to do their studio show in my great room during the NBA Finals. And y'all are invited.

They are the best studio show in all of sports, IMO.

 

[Raider Nation]

Ray's 3 was gorgeous. No-doubter. SPLASH!

Yep! They should be doing the finals!
