Re: 3/9 to 3/15 NBA Discussion Thread

I watched it live with a couple of my boys, 3 out of 4 of us called it a foul. That play was pivotal because it was a close game at the moment, the block led to 3 points at the other end, and Richardson compounded his stupid play by getting a T for complaining. Game was a wrap then.

And Richardson did make a stupid move. He should have just dunked it without being flashy.

What I was saying that hustle plays shouldn't be left off the hook if it was a foul. That's it.

I know exactly what you are saying and I agree that a foul is foul regardless of hustle. But when I saw it live and at full speed it looked like a clean block to me. I wouldn't have a had a problem either way if they called it or not.

But if your J-Rich in that situation that is something you just can't do. It wasn't like he was on a break all by himself. A regular dunk would have done the job. Then when you throw the T on top of it it makes it even worse.

What was hilarious was seeing the coach run over there so quick as soon as Lebron went down.

Oh, His son got hurt, he zoomed over there didn't he?

He didn't zoom that fast when West went down, but when it's your son, you have to go quick. wouldn't you go if you saw your son get hurt?

I'm pretty sure the guy you all saw running to LeBron was the athletic trainer, Max Benton. Look very similar.

Regardless, they should've known that LeBron was pulling his drama queen thing when he was down.

Re: 3/9 to 3/15 NBA Discussion Thread

You know, I didn't bother watching the Cavs-Suns game b/c of the Big East marathon. I've had a friend who deals with NBA players quite often rip LeBron for being selfish and mostly out to "get his" and last night's rebound with 1 second left looked to be a prime example in his favor.

I know Kobe was like this for quite a few years. He definitely does not seem to be the same way anymore... or at least, in the last 2 seasons. Especially after the Gasol trade...

Yeah it looked obvious he really wanted that triple double even though he said he didn't know the stat line.

But hey, at least he didn't do what Ricky Davis did years back.

As far as today's games, Bulls need a win big time tonight.

Sloan's quote after the game was priceless. Something along the lines of "I would have punched him."

Ricky Davis is such a d-bag.

Agreed.

If only they did punch him...then words could not have described how I would have felt. Orgasmaticly awesome might be the closest way to describe it.

What I want to know is how that even counts as a rebound in the first place? He shot it at the opposing basket...

Re: 3/9 to 3/15 NBA Discussion Thread

When people try to argue and tell me that Doc Rivers is a good coach, I'm about to tell you why he's not. He may not be awful, but damn some people here overrate the **** out of him.

He's planning to start Rajon Rondo tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rondo should sit out one or two more games, resting his ankle so he's 100%. He's definitely not 100% right now, and for some reason Doc is rushing him back.

1.) Wtf is the big rush? We're playing MEMPHIS. This would be an easy win with only 1 of the big 3 and no Rondo.
2.) It would be better off not playing Rondo and starting Marbury so he can learn the offense more and continue getting comfortable with his role on the team.
3.) Bad coaches can win championships. Such a dumb argument to say that they can't. I don't remember who but someone was telling me otherwise.

It didn't count. The refs didn't give it to him and the league would have took it away. I have hated Ricky Davis every since that happened. He is a damn idiot.
