Not according to the NBA, who announced that he should have shot two free throws.
Heartbreaker of a game to watch tonight. EDIT: Missed a page, but this was in reply to the comment about Barry traveling. Last edited by Passacaglia : 05-28-2008 at 11:45 PM. |

*shrug* Looks like a clear travel to me. Barry is already lifting his pivot foot and hasn't dribbled the ball yet when the foul occurs. Of course, It wouldn't be the first time a travel has gone uncalled/unnoticed in the history of the NBA, either.

Lotsa stuff that went down awry in that Lakers/Spurs game. The Spurs shouldn't have even been able to put that last shot up. The ball grazed the rim on Fisher's shot at the last possession... meaning the shot-clock should have been reset with 5 something seconds left.

Yes, Doc deserves credit for having the balls to go against convential wisdom and do the smart thing in that situation. More things have to happen for you to lose a game if you simply foul in late game situations when you're up 3. |

Heh. Sheed is now $25K lighter after his bleep-filled rant last night. Win or lose, I think he'll get that magic #7 T in game 6, so if there's a game 7, he'll be sitting out.

How does Rasheed not get like 2 technical fouls right there? EVen looked like the one official grabbed the other official as he was about to call the T to stop him doing it.

The refs apparently have heard it straight from the top that there should be a game 7. What a one-sided crapfest from the officials

Pierce obviously initiated the contact by forcing the Detroit defender to jump into him. NO! It was a terrible call! Should have been a 4 point play. The 4th foul call on Garnett was absurd. Perkins got a T for much less than Rasheed has done. The refs are scared to call one on him becuase he'll be suspended for a possible game 7.

I think Rasheed has at the very least lot a bit of cash for his reaction to the cameraman.

yeah and then they'd be worried that that'd affect the game too much. which just illustrates my key issue with NBA refs, they're too focused on the big picture - "omg if I call this a technical it'll potentially affect the series" - when they need to be instructed to just call things CONSISTENTLY. A charging foul should be a charging foul regardless of whether it's a scrub-PG running into someone or Kobe running into someone. It's just too inconsistent and that bothers me.

And didn't I say we needed to take Cassell out? He can get you back into a game, but he can also take you out of one. Old man wasn't feeling it today.

damn...huge play by posey
garnett's laid an egg this game though - but I guess that's why you got a "big 3" so that only 2/3 needs to be firing at a time

I hate the Pistons right now. I love them, but I hate them.
Sheed needs to go. He's showing everyone that in the big game, he's a baby and a cancer. He might be a "good teammate" the rest of the time, but when it counts, he's a liability. Oh, and if Boston makes it, they will get destroyed by the Lakers (who I hate).

good point there by the announcer - ray allen shouldn't have passed it to garnett...he should have taken the foul himself as the better FT shooter

Garnett decides to keep the game interesting...
I kinda hope the Pistons pull of an amazing comeback here and most of the Pistons fans will hear about it in their car on the way home after leaving too early...

The Celtics deserve this win after getting screwed by the refs. Everyone here thought they'd lose to the Pistons except myself and the bandwagon Celtics fans. I think the Celtics-Lakers series will be a close one and the Celtics won't get destroyed. I think they'll lose, but it'll be a good and hard fought 6 or 7 game series.

Garnett vs. Gasol is going to be interesting battle. Garnett's a better pure shooter but can he exploit that. Pierce can guard Kobe okay, he's shown that.
The question will be Lamar Odom for the Celtics and Ray Allen for the Lakers. Those are the guys that would be matchup problems defensively...at least if you assume Pierce on Kobe (which I think you almost have to do if you're the C's)

Pierce can guard Kobe better than his teammates, but my guess he is still going to get burned by a lot. I think both Bowen and Udoku are better defenders and Kobe blitzed them. Gasol is a solid player, but Garnett should be a mismatch. He is a better offensive and defensive player, with the length to bug Gasol on both ends. Plus, KG has been fairly consistent, but Gasol still has a tendency to occasionally disappear when the going gets tough. Garnett might actually have to guard Odom, come to think of it, because Perkins can probably at least stay with Gasol a bit, but there really is no one else who can play with a guy with Odom's length and versatility. As for Allen, I think Manu is a better player than Allen right now, and Vujacic bugged Manu to death. My guess is that Vujacic can stick with an older Allen. Sure, Manu is a little hurt, but a healthy Allen hasn't hardly shown up for the playoffs.

It's been such a weird playoff run for the Celtics and this sums it up....They were so unimpressive, they're obviously going to lose in the next round. We've heard that twice already. The theme of the story on ESPN.com after game 5 was how they didn't play like champions. Now they're 4 unimpressive wins away from the NBA Championship. If they pull it off, they'll of course be the most unimpressive 60+ wins/championship team ever. |

I agree with this sentiment. It really does not matter to me who wins the title. Both teams have players that I really would like to see win titles. On Boston's side, seeing KG, Ray Allen, and especially Paul Pierce would be cool since as recently as last year all somehow "lacked what it to took to win a title." I think Pierce's public turnaround is almost as impressive as Kobe's. I remember how much of a problem this guy was considered. On the other hand, I would also like to see guys like Lamar Odom, Luke Walton and the other "no talent hacks" on the Laker bench win the trophy.

I think with Gasol the Lakers are the best team in the NBA, so I would pick the Lakers regardless of how this post season had gone for Boston. But after this series with Detroit I would assume everyone who was writing off Boston b/c of the earlier series would not be doing that anymore(I'm in that camp, I didn't expect them to lose to Cleveland but I certainly didn't' expect them to beat Detroit either after their play in the early rounds). I do think that the Lakers could win it in 5, where if Boston wins it'll likely go 7. |
