I didn't know where to dump this ..so mod's if i've incorrectly placed this ... please move it...

found this pretty interesting..

Study reveals that NBA refs are missing way too many calls

of course this is no shock to us...but some of the better quotes from this article... that might actually get me to buy and read the book

Ball asserts that players get away with traveling as many as 50 times a game. And that 80 to 100 calls PER GAME are either wrong or, at a minimum, are at odds with the language in the NBA's own rule book, and that either the rules need to be enforced or changed to improve the integrity of the game.

that was a fun game to watch last night if you're a fan of basketball. The refereeing was actually pretty good, free throws were pretty much even. back and forth all night.


James played 50 minutes last night. 5 more than anyone else on the court.


not as fun as the triple OT game that followed, though. What an enjoyable night of bball.

That was a miserable game. Very similar to Butler-UConn. 98-90 w/ 5 extra minutes of play? Boston was an absolute joke on offense in the 4th quarter and overtime and it had little to do w/ Miami's defense. Shit, Rondo missed a fucking layup that essentially could have resulted in the Celtics winning in regulation.

You're such a glory hunter you'd have to convince yourself it was good basketball to justify supporting a bumbling bunch of bitches like the Miami Heat.

WTF are you talking about? if you don't want to talk about the Heat/Celtics NBA playoff series, then don't come into it and read it. This has fuck all to do with gloating, i've been talking about the Heat all season long.

I know there is a Justin Boren thread on this site, and I choose not to go in it because I am not a fan of his. Just like the choice is yours not to come in to the Heat/Celtic series thread to discuss *GASP* The Heat/Celtics. It's not that difficult.

and we welcome osu fans over at the Michigan site I post on. we have several.

I don't give a damn about the winner of this series and I think that most will agree, when Boston had the ball with 19.3 seconds left and Paul Pierce at the top of the key, they ran one of the worst offensive sets for a last shot I've ever seen.

Let the clock tick down to 6 seconds, Garnnet turns his back to the ball, desperation heave....overtime. It was horrible.

i'm pretty sure that play was designed to go to Allen but he couldn't free himself to get the ball. I think Pierce was plan B on that play.

but I agree, that was very ugly

Miami and Boston have both done a good job of impeding the screener to get to spots where they want to set the picks. Allen and Garnett attempted a brush screen so the screener could get out to Pierce uninterrupted.

From my basketball eye, it looked like Garnett and Allen both thought the other was supposed to set the screen. Common-sense would say Garnett would be the one to go pick and roll with Pierce, but from the time-out, and maybe out of an attempt to surprise Miami, Rivers wanted a 2 man game for Pierce and Allen.

Either way, they really dropped the ball by not executing. It cost them a great chance to even the series.

Wow. I gave you enough credit to assume that you would've understood my point. I stand corrected.

This has [censored] all to do with gloating, i've been trolling about the Heat all season long.

To do things such as gloat about Boren? Doubtful.

nice on topic post about the Heat/Celtics series.


Chalmers didn't do to much in this game, but on the whole, his defense is really a key cog in Miami's success. And Joel Anthony is giving them more of an inside presence on defense than Bosh can.

To be honest, both of last night games were entertaining, but I would call them far from great. The only reason they kept going was because of piss poor offensive execution on both sides in crunch time. In my mind, that does not equal great basketball. The offensive execution in the final minute of regulation/OT's in both games was pretty atrocious. The Grizzlies did get lucky off of two of those poorly executed offensive sets to hit some miracle 3's, though.

Was last night entertaining? Sure. Was last night good basketball? Not by a long shot, in my imo.
