No matter which team you're for, I think it's safe to say that the whistle blowers BLOW CHUNKS. They're favoring Wade and Shaq. The Diesel has committed about 10 fouls and been called for 3. And this BS with Wade pump faking and then jumping INTO the defender to draw the contact is chicken ****.
 
5:30 to go in the game:

Miami: 40 free throw attempts
Dallas: 12 free throw attemps

Players have been doing that since Joe Fulks (look it up). That's part of the game, always has been, and everyone knows it. Once a defender gets up in the air, he's at the shooter's mercy.

Joe Fulks? Holy ****. Da Man must be older than me ;D

And Walt Frazier was the best I ever saw at the pump-fake, jump in, draw the foul

Not to threadjack, but what's the story behind every fan in the arena wearing white shirts?

They were doing that in the Pistons series too.

Not sure exactly why tho. Phoenix Coyotes fan used to wear all white in their arena during regular season games. I think they called it White Noise or White Out.

Whatever it is, they need to stop. It's hard to look down at the court then up in the stands.
 
Wade tried too hard to draw a foul that time and missed short. Why, I don't know since he's been knocking down shots all night.

Been a great game.
 
The team's theme for the entire playoffs has been White Hot Heat. White T-shirts for the fans, white seat covers, etc.

Pretty lame.

Knocking down shots all night? Isn't he 6-of-20 from the floor? Or am I not sensing the sarcasm here?

The NBA is still going on? Seriously?

We're two days away from summer and the NHL and NBA are still going on. Joke.

Thankfully they'll be done soon. Then, we can focus on a real summer sport, the NIAFL.


Hope you enjoy fifth place, BYH. :D
 
there should be a rule put in place. no ex-hawks are allowed to attempt game-winning shots.
sorry boris diaw, a rule's a rule.

You're the Chris Shelton of NIAFL: Fast start, anonymous finish.  :D

You mean the same Chris Shelton that hit two home runs today. Thankfully Buck kept him on his bench today, so I should squeak out a win and hopefully keep first place for another week.
 
Well, maybe Joe Fulks was an offensive innovator but I still think it's BS. Sure, if the defender goes airborne, maybe he's fair game. But if the offensive player is the one who initiates the contact _ if the defender is coming down nowhere near the shooter, I think the offensive player is given a huge advantage if the ref calls the foul.

Dwyane Wade, though, is the Sam Jones master of the bank shot.
