Nothing personal, but this post is the type that a Cookie's Suns version would pick up and would make their forum laugh. We were the most embarrassing team in the league and you still have the guts to make fun and hate a team who went to the Finals last year and finished top of the league this year in reg season. Think about what would you say if you were on the other side
This 100% needs to happen. Being penalized for getting out on a fast break makes no sense in terms of basketball logic and even less sense when you're trying to sell pace/tempo/excitement to fans.
? pointing out that the suns haven't beaten a full-strength opponent in the playoffs isn't out of bounds. it's just a fact. and those preening j******es maybe should think about that prior to laying eggs on the biggest stage.
this would slow down the game even more. I think the NBA needs an advantage rule like soccer where if your team keeps possession after being fouled, the foul is only called after the play ends. This protects attacking teams and the speed of the game.
amidst all the breathless news about horford and smart being out, i missed that lowry was still out. why do people think this doesn't matter?!
Only until teams stopped using it as a crutch to penalize good defense and remove exciting open court fast breaks. If they got the replay situation under control, then this rule won't add any time to the games. The fact that you can have 10 real minutes pass by while three refs + the league office looks at a play is unacceptable. Give them two minutes and move on. 1 minute to watch all the angles and 1 minute to talk it over, that's all that's needed.
Miami is lucky (just like C Bags were the previous round) and they still needed Jimmy to play out of his mind to win this one. I would be worried if i were them. Healthy Bucks would sweep these playoffs.
Spo is a lot better than Bud , I think the Heat can take a 2-0 as Horford still will be out for Game 2 . The Heat took advantage of C Bags players poor dribbling skills in the 2nd half by putting a lot of pressure on the ball
yeah, just going to repeat that miami's second max player is injured and basically hasn't played in the playoffs (he looked like junk when he tried). that's a HUGE windfall for their opponents. this would be more like boston being without brown than smart/horford. i think a healthy miami team beats milwaukee and especially boston.
If Jimmy doesn't run out of gas, it's going to be a good series. I don't think as much has been made of the Lowry injury because of how good Vincent has been. Where does Miami find these guys? In other news from last night the Magic won the biggest loser contest known as the draft lottery. Why are they still allowed to sit at the adult table? 7 top 8 picks in the last 9 years. Maybe Suggs and Wagner pop, but they have nothing to show for it. I think they do a piss poor job of developing guys to boot. Jabari Smith is going to Disney, I guess. Staying with the draft for a second: how can you be 7-1 and only 190 pounds? Chet is going to get broken in half unless he puts on 30 pounds before his first NBA game.
