Yeah Dallas deserved to win that one, has to hurt a bit. They need to get this next one and get the split at OKC.hoops23;1156656 wrote:Not a good sign for Dallas, IMO.
OKC took control in the last few minutes. Went from being down 7 to up 1 in like 1 minute lol.

If you jump straight up and down and the defender jumps out of his way to flail into you, it should not be a foulsleeper;1156629 wrote:Don't leave your feet. Then you are in control and won't get the foul.

It has been called inconsistently all year. I've seen it go as no calls and then the announcer talk about the rule change...

And why the fuck did Marion feel he could dribble the entire length of the court in 1.5 seconds? lmao.

I mean I understand your point, but I don't like editing basketball rules. What's next, raise the rim because players are getting taller?Hb31187;1156696 wrote:Rule of verticality,problem solved

Its not editing a rule, the rule of verticality already exists, they just neglect to enforce it

Article bemoaning how the compressed season killed Rose.
The one thing I found amusing in the article is when Wilbon goes on a little tirade essentially ripping into LeBron indirectly:
"Let me declare freely I'm an unabashed fan of Derrick Rose. He comes from the neighborhood just north of where I come from on the South Side of Chicago. He's as tough as we all imagine we are, unrelentingly tough. He didn't need to befriend every good player in the league or link up with anybody who became a free agent. Rose hasn't found that he needs a nickname or carefully crafted image. He's a doer, a leader, charismatic in a way perhaps only Chicagoans understand -- without smiling and clowning and dancing and posing, kind of like a young Dick Butkus. He has represented Chicago in a way even Michael Jordan couldn't. Jordan is an adopted son, Rose a native son."

Rose will never win a title unless he gets another star on his team. Book it.

They say bad things come in threes, so hopefully LeBron is the next to tear his ACL.

What? You said "bad things"....Lebron tearing something would be a good thing for everyone including the heat.

Bulls coach has done some great things in the past 2 years but his handling of the last 130 cost them way more.

"Playing without Rose won’t be anything new for the Bulls, who went 18-9 when he was out this season and 33-7 when he played. They also outscored opponents by 8.2 points per 100 possessions when Rose was on the bench, according to NBA.com. Only one team put up a better figure: the Bulls, who outscored opponents by 9.3 points per 100 possessions for the full season and a whopping 10.6 when Rose was on the court."
How does it feel to be wrong?

No but the 3 previous years they did. Who are you bandwagoning this year? Clippers? Thunder? Spurs? Grizzlies?karen lotz;1156791 wrote:Did the lakers turn it on last postseason?
