Joey Crawford is part of tonight's Officiating crew for the Knicks-Celtics game.

This will be fun.

It's like having a guest referee in a already hyped up WWE match up.

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

I don't know, I think that depends on how well the Knicks grab the boards and if those 3's can fall in like they were early in the year.

And over the last few weeks, that hasn't exactly been the case for them.

The Mavs?

Haha, this year you're certainly right, but it seems year in and year out the Raptors are always losing close games. They very rarely get blown out.

Not exactly sure what you're asking me. When I said that teams slow the game down, I think this quote from you:
<table style="margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width:90%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td width="75"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50"> <tbody><tr> <td width="37"> </td> <td style="background-image: url('/vBulletin/images/quotes/07.gif');width:1px;height:24px;background-position:center;" valign="middle" width="100%"> Quote:</td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td align="left">

</td> <td style="background-image: url('/vBulletin/images/quotes/00.gif');width:100%;height:1px;" width="100%"> but the truth of the matter is in the playoffs teams have time to prepare and take away different routes of scoring from your team. Lots more strategy and execution involved at that point because posessions become more important. You can't be a 25 turnover a game team then and win.

pretty much fits that description. Speaking for myself, the term "slowing the game down" isn't something I heard from some TV Analyst but it's something that I saw from my own eyes especially when comparing styles of play in the regular season and in the playoffs.

I'm not saying that teams are going to be playing Big Ten style of Basketball in the playoffs where games are constantly in high 70s-low 80s(which is usually what people confuse or correlate the term "slowing the game down" with)but at the same time, I don't think you can just bank on trying to outrun your opponent every single time up the court and this goes for any team.

Sure, you had the Heat score their buckets in Transition(they've been one of, if not the best team at doing that since their Big 3 formed so why not utilize their strength)but even throughout the playoffs they still had to adjust their style of play at times.

I've always thought their usual Up/Down stretches every season have been overblown at times.

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

Yep... but you have an idea of what it means... Im fairly certain some people are saying it with no idea what it means.

That term wasn't even used so much in the 80's and 90's. Nobody told us the Lakers would be in trouble if they had to slow it down although they did tons of transition basketball.

Re: 1-21/1-28 game disscussion

Celtics gotta buckle down and play defense. The problem is, the guys on that team have shown that they're damn near incapable of doing so on a consistent basis. Be it tired legs or flat out lack of desire, you gotta WANT it.

Play like men or gtfo.

Is Raymond Felton back? If not he needs to hurry up. Messing with my money.
