The officiating is bad, but what are you gonna do. The product is awesome, Laker fan or not, everyone and their mother im sure was tuned into Bryant with the rock and 3.2 seconds left in the game. Same can be said for anyones team wtih their star player in that position playing for the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Change the channel to hockey and stop whining about NBA officiating. I'm well aware, the NHL playoffs have been fantastic this year...

Rest of the game is pointless and boring... NCAA BB >>> NBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im pretty sure most didnt have Atlanta, memphis in the final 8......and the distinct possibility of haveing a semifinals without a number one seed and possbily only one number 2 seed in it. Shocker!! And you are a hockey fan. Im so surprised. Does that season ever start? Does it ever end? Enjoy the 2 minutes of air time you get on ESPN for that dogsh!t sport. Its like nascar.....we only care when theres a fight or a wreck.....the rest is just mindless turnovers and taking the announcers word for it when the pebble they knock around actually hits a net that one time a game.

Yeah when it happened i didnt immediately think flagrant either. Cant really get a guy up in the air, jump into him, and not expect him to hammer you. Having said that.....Miami got a ton of calls.

KSB2424 3,085 Posted May 3, 2011 This years NBA season has been awesome. The old standbye's Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks and Boston had good regular seasons. The Miami Heat changed themselves with two big Free Agent additions and are now really good. OKC, Memphis, and Atlanta are young, fun to watch, and gritty teams that can beat anybody on any given night. The Bulls went from mediocre to the regular season number one seed. There's all sorts of good teams and story lines. Much more than 5 years ago. There are a ton of 20 something superstars already. Rose, LeBron, Durant, Howard, just to name a few.

Id probably like hockey if it werent for the whole ridiculous offsides rules, the lack of scoring and the turnovers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted June 13, 2011 So taking significantly less money and sacrificing stats and numbers and shot attempts and any chance at MVP awards or other such accolades solely so you can win is selfish? When you expect the other guys to do all the work....yep. My Mavericks roll into town and stop King James and the streak. Actually have already swept the season series from Miami - this Dallas team is really pretty good. Tyson Chandler has made a huge difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How you can say hockey players aren't the toughest? This type of stuff happens all day long... Thats why hockey players are missing lots of teeth and have lots of dentures... Bosh gets poked in the eye and starts crying... And yes there is strategy in hockey, the types of scripted plays are a little different than in other sports as the game is more fluid...

Strike 4,012 Posted January 12, 2012 Well, I'm convinced. I'm sure KSB is already preparing to purchase his Miami Heat championship T-shirts. What, with Magliore in the Post and Lebron nailing free throws they're destined to win it all this year. I mean, they paid their dues in the playoffs as a young team last year so they must be ready to win it all. Just the first of at least 5 or 6 they're going to win down there in South Beach. No reason for any Heat haters to even watch the NBA this year. It's done. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
