That was one of the best games ever!

Illini · May 17, 2006

I've never sweated a bet like that. I didn't have that much on the Suns, but I was hanging on every possession for about 45 minutes. What a game. I'm really starting to get into these playoffs, and I haven't watched the NBA since the Jordan days. Awesome.

This has been one of the best years for the NBA playoffs in a long time.

It's been a pleasant and most certainly welcome suprise.

Illini · May 17, 2006

This game was a live bettor's dream. Could've locked up huge profits on either team in this one. Anyone check the price on the Suns -4.5 when they were down 1 with 3 seconds left and the Clippers at the line? I was gonna run and put 10 bucks on the Suns, but I didn't bother to check.

Suns could have won that game twice before double OT.

Clippers could have won that game twice before double OT.

Listening to Charles at halftime and now after the game, I think he was pretty heavy on the Clippers.

Amen. Actually, the season when detroit beat the lakers and there was the derek fisher shot was pretty good also I thought.

barkley got a point about fouling and kenny is trying to be a smart ass. cuban was right that the jet wants to coach in NBA but it ain't gonna happen.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

he's really pissed

I think Charles is gonna hunt down Daniel Ewing later tonight and murder him with his bare hands...and then yell at Mike Dunleavy.

haha, Ewing's defense was pretty weak, he didn't even jump. I'm always in favor of fouling in that situation ... I guess I'm in the minority though because most teams I watch rarely foul.. The player has to be smart enough to make sure it is on the ground and the game is pretty much wrapped up..

Of course in the NBA I think it is much more situational. Supposing the team that gets fouled makes the two free throws the other team would need to make free throws as well and in the NBA a time out advances the ball to half court so the team that fouls has to make sure of a few things if they are going to do it. Also the act of shooting is so exaggerated in the NBA where as in college it isn't. I think it should be a staple in coaches playbooks in college.

Dream my ass. It wouldve been this live betters dream if it had just hit miami by 3, 4, 5, or 6. Those Fuckers took all outside shots in the last minute+ and missed free throws.

I agree...in that situation he had to foul and just fucked up. ESPECIALLY when you have a foul to give? That's unexcusable. Sam Cassell said afterwards that Ewing should've shoved Bell into the stands...just an unexcusable mistake.

ClipJoint · May 17, 2006

Not fouling was the obvious mistake...BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING GUARDING THE LANE FROM BELL???

Play on the top side of him and don't let him get to the 3 point line. Why the fuck was he cutting off the lane and staying between Bell and the basket???

Just another blatantly obvious situation that shows how overrated Dunleavy is as a coach. That game alone exposed many of his flaws.

Yes, Dunleavy is getting outcoached badly. Why the hell was Ewing even in the game? I know, I know, he is a good defender, but give me a break. You gotta play your veterans that know how to handle situations.

CHRISG612 · May 17, 2006

Yeah I have never really thought about Dunleavy as being overrated as a coach but some definite mistakes in that game... Why did Maggette start but not play very much at all? Did he get injured again? Seems like another offensive weapon like that would have been a huge help in the Overtimes..especially if he was fresh.

That was one of the best games ever!
