morons

Did Korver take over Rose's body?

[cubbyvirus00]

Last second isolation and chuck a shot. Every coach calls this every freaking time. I really hope we can win but I really don't like our chances in OT.

 

yeah, when everyone in the building thinks that the star player is going to shoot it. i really wish they'd use him as a decoy and get the ball to a shooter who nobody is guarding.

 

anyway, bulls should go at bosh and try to get his 6th foul. with wade playing like crap that would put miami in a big hole.

And if the shooter misses, then we get to hear every commentator/journalist/stupid fan complain about how your star player didn't take the last shot. Not saying you are wrong, just that basketball, and a lot of people around it aren't very smart.

 

I understand your point, but a wide open spot up look is better then a fallaway bad angle shot. The average fan should be able to understand that.

Zero chance the Bulls win this. Rose is just on a rampage of uselessness.

[Flames24Rulz]

Imagine if LeBron was doing what Rose has been doing down the stretch of this game. This has been tough to watch.

[bcl412]

We're about done. I'm going to be pissed at that last play in regulation for a long time.

[E.J.]

This game is so over. We have no chance.

[Careless]

Well, the Cubs won tonight so they're only 5 games below .500. So there's that

i'm sure you're right, but it's still annoying. it's like everyone remembers jordan against ehlo and russell and nobody remembers steve kerr or the 95 big shots that robert horry made.

[squally1313]

It has to be Bosh. Of course it does.

 

Kill me.

[OleMissCub]

Did y'all just see Sosa in the crowd?

[kujay]

Huge Brewer.

[EhDubya]

FT discrepancies are the lamest way to complain about basketball. Is there a rule that free throw attempts are supposed to be equal for both teams or something?

 

 

30-14 is pretty blatant and anybody that watches basketball would know that this series has been in favor of Miami all the way.

 

It's to the point where the officials are affecting the outcome of the game directly.

 

EDIT- It's not just the point totals that are affected but the momentum and the offensive rhythm are swayed as well.

 

Look, I think refs suck too. I just think the argument is weak, and it's a pet peeve of mine. High school coaches complain about it. I mean, if team A travels 15 times a game, that doesn't mean team B should be called for some to "even it out".

 

Travels and fouls are completely different. I mean I understand the Heat have 3 skilled position players....but we have a MVP player and he still struggles to get favorable calls on a contact drive.

 

I guess it's just a fundamental issue I have. Some teams drive to the hoop more, some settle for jump shots. Some teams play great defense, other teams are just more physical around the rim. It isn't always 3 refs huddling up before the game saying, "okay, let's totally screw Chicago tonight. Let's get Miami on the lie twice as much."

 

NBA refs are just that terrible.

[bcl412]

Brewer? Ok.

[Billy_Buck]

"The Ronnie Brewer Game"?

[cubbyvirus00]

So after the lockout situation is worked out, hopefully we could pull off a trade for Howard and somebody that can hit a bleeping shot.

Unless you're Derek Fisher, who has made like two big shots and somehow that reputation still follows him.

[squally1313]

Need both.

Well he DID hit a 3 with .0475 seconds left to win the game...

Eat [expletive] [expletive], Boozer.

[scarey]

Isn't it supposed to be a technical when the scoring player stares down the defending player?

[Derwood]

someone break LeBron's leg please

[Flames24Rulz]

Thanks for the false hope, Ronnie.

[cubbyvirus00]

Yeah if you're any other team but the Miami Heat.

[squally1313]

I love when Lebron does the thing where he doesn't look directly at the person, but it's so clear he's just talking [expletive] for 20 seconds.
