    Grizzlies vs Okc in WCF

    Heat vs Celtics in ECF

    Grizzlies vs Heat in the Finals

Unacceptable.
      To be fair, Philly was all over Kyle every time he came off a screen. He wasn't even open to catch, let alone shoot.

      That's where you need the pick-setter to roll to the hoop for an easy two or kickout if there's weakside help.

      Pretty simple basketball. When a player gets doubled, especially off the ball, you have numbers elsewhere on the court. In the regular season, we made those passes. It just didn't happen in the playoffs.

        So here's a question. What would've happened to the Bulls if we'd successfully traded for Dwight Howard? Noah and Taj would've both been gone likely or at least Noah and Deng. How would things have gone?

            Nobody cares because it's Atlanta but how do you get this wrong?

            Being awarded a free throw at a key moment is no guarantor of success, as Omer Asik of the Chicago Bulls can attest. So can Al Horford. However, Horford and the Atlanta Hawks looked to have a strong case for an additional free throw attempt in the waning moments of their series-ending 83-80 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the first-round NBA playoff series.
            Trailing by two points with just 3.1 seconds remaining on the clock, the Hawks were inbounding the ball beneath the Celtics' basket. Mercurial swingman Marvin Williams was the inbounder while his teammates Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford and Jeff Teague attempted to get open.
            As Williams was inbounding the ball -- or perhaps just before he threw it in -- a whistle sounded, triggered by a foul from Marquis Daniels of the Celtics against Horford. TNT announcer and former NBA coach Mike Fratello quickly grasped the significance of the foul as Daniels looked around nervously. Fratello told viewers that "if that was out of bounds and the ball was not passed in [then] that's two shots."
            According to the NBA rulebook, however, a foul by a defensive team before the ball is inbounded in the final two minutes of a game (or during overtime) results in just one free throw attempt as well as the possession. Nevertheless, that shot -- taken by any player on the floor for the Hawks -- is extremely precious given the circumstances.

            (1) A personal foul and team foul shall be assessed and one free throw attempt shall be awarded. The free throw may be attempted by any player in the game at the time the personal foul was committed.

            After a prolonged discussion among the gaggle of refs, the Hawks were handed back the ball but awarded no free throw. Although Fratello had already pointed out during a replay that he believed that the foul occurred before Williams passed the ball in, he explained to viewers that the referees must have determined that the foul by Daniels against Horford had occurred after the ball had been released.

            "That is an unbelievably fortunate call for the Boston Celtics," Fratello conceded.

                  So true. I'm sure if the refs can use the monitor to determine clear path and flagrant fouls they could have use the monitors to see if the ball had been inbounded.

                  Horford still needs to make those free throws.
                  You looking at the Chair MAN!

                  Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.

                    I just watched the last 30 seconds again of that Bulls, Philly game. What a damn unfortunate series of events, it was insane for them to lose that game. I really feel for Bulls fans to be out of the playoffs on an ending like that.

                          It could have been a double foul as well. They were both grabbing and holding each other.

                                More like douche baggery.

                                Not that I'm innocent. I say that I'd challenge Boozer to a fight if I ever saw him in person, but lord knows that I'd run like a bitch if he ever came at me. (I would outrun him though, that fatass)

                                Same goes for the people tweeting.
