argh ... sorry to be such a bummer, but this is killing me ... Iīd propably enjoy it any other time, but not delaying the Houston game ...
And i really donīt understand why teams donīt run an actual play in those situations. Seriously, why go to some isolation when it works liuke 30% of the time if at all ? Why not let Allen come arround a screen ? Or at least make a couple passes before getting Pierce the ball ? Or let Pierce move a bit at least before ? As a coach this makes me sick ..

At this point in time, John Salmons is the best player on that Bulls roster.

Scalabrine is in the game. The Celtics are all but in the 2nd round now.

Seriously, fuck these timeouts. How are we ever going to have a classic game again in the NBA when there's a 2 minute stoppage after every possession.

this could be a drinking game. Take a shot for every TO in the last 2 minutes and 2 for every OT and you end the night veeeery drunk ... And now a review ...
Whatīs the line for this game going longer than the Houston-Portland game ? Last edited by whomario : 04-30-2009 at 09:33 PM. |

Miller got cojones. Wow.
Why wouldnīt you pressure a PG inbounding with a bigger defender ? Ray Allen for another OT, wanna bet ? Maybe they are done when the 2nd half starts in Houston ? Wait, no Timeouts left ? Wooot |

Gordon is out, maybe the Bulls will run an actual play and create a decent look.

sboxscore update from Houston : Rockets up 12. Artest with 16 rather efficient points, Portland players outside Roy/Aldridge are 3-18 from the field.

I will never understand why teams don't foul when they're up by 3. What is that, the third time in this series alone where the team up hasn't fouled and then had a 3 buried in their stupid no fouling face to tie it?

but they did foul. Then they tried again. Salmons had Allen in a bear hug, but the refs didn't call it. |

Allen made some ridiculous shots tonight with guys all over him, nasty stuff .
I want him to hit the game winner that also sets a new playoff record for 3s made. Last edited by whomario : 04-30-2009 at 09:50 PM. |

I keep hearing about how great this series has been, so I decided to check in. 3 OTs. It's certainly living up to the billing, but the constant timeouts and stoppages and commercial breaks makes what should be a thrilling game completely stilted and boring.

If they don't have 3 guys on Ray Allen this time down, there's something wrong

Wow @ Noah.
Propably another OT on an Allen 3 here. Or Scalabrine hits one, thatīd be a nice touch as well ... Iīm prepared for anything now. Maybe Marbury banking a runner from 35 foot with 1 on the clock, thatīd be nice ... side story : As bad as rondo has been finishing this game, heīs got 19 assists and 0 Turnovers...

Ok, I've counted to 20. Shouldn't the timeout be over?

It should be a graduated TO schedule in the NBA.
1st Q = 1 TO 2nd = 2 3rd = 3 4th = 4 Then it starts over in OT. And get rid of the stupid TO gets you the ball 2/3rds of the way down the court. With the size and speed of the modern player, the court should be lengthened, not artificially shortened. |

LOL! Baby Davis fouled out and they're running out of big bodies. But they still have Scalabrini to shoot the 3 here.

All of these timeouts are a huge disadvantage for Del Negro, who makes Mike Dunleavy look like Hubie Brown when it comes to running an out-of-bounds play.
On another note, Brad Miller is on a mission tonight from the foul line. |

4 TOs in the 4th quarter would be a nightmare. I think they only have 3 so 6 get taken in the last 2 minutes. I don't need 8 of them. I need them to get 2 max- 1 20s and 1 full. And then maybe a pair of 20s in the OT. SI

So I'm flipping through the channels and find this basketball on TNT, Celtics-Bulls Game 6, 3rd OT with about 1 minute left. I think "Cool, I'll get to see how the game turns out."
15 minutes later.... |

Vinny says "FU, hoopsguy and you too, Heinrich". Probably should use the left hand for that layup.
