I love how his zingers are always so casual. Makes it funnier when you hear C-Webb in the background cackling-- I can just see his wide smile too.

Yeah. One night Kenny called the Wiz some scrubs and Ernie was like "Scrubs? ouch...not my word". Then Chuck, sipping his drink with a completely straight face was like "what word would you use, man? Juggernaut?" His delivery made it hilarious.

It's not like Vare**** would have seriously fought for the rebound anyway. He usually just tips it until it somehow falls into his hands or gets into someone elses'.

Think he'll be ok though, think he just bumped knees

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

Yeah, I saw that it was a foul, but in my eyes...clean block. Hustle plays like that deserved not to be called. That play was similar to Prince's block on Reggie in 04.

Come on. Because he hustled to block the shot he shouldn't be called for the foul when he didn't get any ball? That is a joke, as are the refs.

Hopefully the Suns can rebound next season. They're one of my favorite teams. And I'd like to see Grant Hill get a ring. But seriously Steve Kerr needs to make up his mind. It seems like he's confused on what he wants to do. Or he's just plain clueless. <title>Enter text here.</title>He fires D'Antoni and goes after a defensive coach in Terry Porter. Then he trades away Diaw and Bell for J-Rich? If he wanted defense, why the hell are you trading away two of your best defenders for an offensive player? Doesn't make sense. Then he fires Porter and sticks with Gentry who runs the same kind of offense that D'Antoni does.

If you stand Robert Sarver and Steve Kerr next to each other, they look like they are twins.

It's kinda scary.

LOL

I saw the replay again and like I said, hustle plays like that shouldn't be called for. The fact that Rich tried to do a 360, James had to time it to make sure he blocked it at the right time or else it would have been worse and maybe been a flagrant. But the timing was right and he blocked it. Now, if he would have went up for a regular dunk, who knows?

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...

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

I'm with Tha Kid.

There are already far too many judgemental calls made by refs, and almost all of us want consistency from the NBA and it's referees. That was a clear foul and should be called a foul.

But seemingly refs should take hustle into account for fouls now? I don't understand. Richardson made a head-scratching dunk attempt (a 360 in a tight 2 point game? lol), but he was fouled by that block attempt. Should have called it.

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

But my question is did you guys see it live or you just going by the replay?? Cause I saw it live and it looked like a clean block. Nobody saw it as a foul until the replay came. Then you could see he hit him on the wrist. It wasn't like it was a horrible missed call. The play was a fast play and there wasn't alot of contact. You could see how they missed it. But if J-Rich would have just went with a regular dunk and not try to 360 we wouldn't even be talking about it.

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

Watching that play in full speed it looked like a clean block.

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.
