Artest might have just managed to get the first flagarant foul in the history of the nba without actually touching the guy :lol What a shitty call.

You might never see this ever:
Pacers-Sixers.
50 secs to go in the first OT and the Pacers only have 5 eligible players. The rest fouled out. Seriously. OMGWTF??? One more player fouls out and they say they'll be playing with only 4 players.

Holy shit, AI wins it at the buzzer.
Just saw the Lakers final:
Wow, Kobe had a monstrous night, and actually shot better than 40% to boot! (with only 12 FT's!). 41 points, 7 reb, 8 assists-- nice.
Still, when you allow 4 guys on the opposing team to go for 20+, you're not gonna win many games. Nice to see Grant Hill playing well again with a big night: 27 points, 12 rebounds (4 offensive), 4 assists, 4 steals. Very impressive, considering where he's been. Hopefully this is the start of his comeback-- he's always been incredible, and a great guy to boot. He deserves success for even trying to stick things out this long with all his injuries.

:lol I always wondered if that was possible...Pacers are looking like the Raps the last couple years with all their injuries (except unlike us they're still winning).
I think the Heat have been seriously overrated, but I'll give 'em some credit...they played the Spurs extraordinarily well with Wade out of the lineup. San An defintely had some calls in their favour as well...not sure how the refs missed Duncan's offensive goaltend. Good for them for taking advantage of it though.
BTW, that thrown down Kobe put on Howard was just disgusting...best dunk of the year so far.

3 points
3 fouls
Vince Carter is the man. Utterly worthless first half.
Almost everyone on our team forgot how to play D, and Jalen Rose is taking some crazy shots...Bosh is too far out from the basket with Vince off...trying to do too much. Good thing I have to get up early tomorrow, as I have an excuse to stop watching this. Hopefully a miracle can happen: We play D, and Vince Carter looks like a player who deserves to have his own line of shoes.

Good, hard fought win for the Spurs. Manu was simply out of his mind(29 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals and 1 block). He is a quadruple double wating to happen. I'm only disappointed with TD's FT shooting. Overall, the team had a good performance.
Excellent effort from Miami too. The role players stepped up in Wade's absence and after a horrible loss, helped Shaq keep the team in the game the majority of the time. This team is going to mean lots of trouble for the NBA elite. They're very though. Only thing I didn't like was how the refs let Shaq hand out elbows all game long.
I'm also extremely happy to see Grant Hill having such a great start to this season. Hopefully he will endure it. He is a class act.

The calls for both sides were garbage tonight, it was a fair win by Seattle. Our biggest mistake was leaving Rashard open for that three, I'm sure he wouldn't have made it if someone was in his face. Big ups to Antonio Daniels for making the clutch shot in the lane, glad to have him on my fantasy team.
You win this time, Janus, but a truly good team would've blown us out by twenty or thirty the way we were playing most of the game. Then again, if Ray had been in the game it probably wouldn't have been as close as it was (the charge call that got him tossed was BS). WE SHALL MEET AGAIN, I GUARANTEE A RAPTORS VICTORY NEXT GAME, LEST MY TAG FOREVER BE CHANGED TO "Ray Allen's Penis Pump".
Oh, I'd also like to add that Matt Bonner was absolutely terrific tonight. Hustle hustle hustle, clutch.
More stuff:
I'm convinced something is wrong with Vince. I think he may have pumped his wife too many times the night before, where the fuck were his legs tonight? He had the GUARANTEED posterization on Jerome James early on (the play when he got called for his second foul), but instead opted to lay it up and MISS. Another play he spun past someone and was wide open for a dunk, but again opted for a lay-in and missed. I think Bosh followed it up with a tip-in. And then there were the air balls - I can't even remember the last time I saw him toss one of those up, if ever. He had TWO tonight! Something's up with him, I don't know what, but it was extremely disappointing and frustrating to watch him tonight. I'm not even that mad at the missed layup that lost the game for us, he had the right idea and went to the basket hard, it just didn't go down for us. It's the cruddy shot selection and weak play that pissed me off the most. Don't even get me started on Jalen, I don't know what was going through that guy's head. BLECH. </vent>

I just fucking hate how he missed that last shot. The guy was soft... and the airball. My goodness.
I think it's just that he regret saying that he wants to get traded so what he does is play really bad so that Raptors is stuck with him forever.
Just noticed Bosh as the highest scorer again tonight. Friggin, the last shot should've been given to Boner. The guy was pure clutch.

Manu's been playing out of his mind lately... The contract, the marriage and the olympic victory definitely seem to have him motivated. I really hope he can keep this up, or something similar come playoff time. And by then, I hope Parker gets back into the loop and Barry gets more comfy.

I'm not sure O'Neal even touched iverson on his 6th foul call or Artest on his flagarant foul...but even then the Tinsley charge call on what would have been a 3 point play was the worst. Such is life in the NBA. Korver is a damn good shooter.

Raps - Sonics game was a close one. I only caught the game starting the second half when the raps were down by, but great second comeback attempt. Vince might not have played well in the first half (I heard he had 2 fouls in the first 80 seconds???) but he played hard in the 4th quarter. He was playing pretty good D on Rashard Lewis, tried to get a charge, and hit a couple buckets. Gotta give it up to the Sonics though, they hit huge shots down the stretch and, did well driving into the lane to breakup the defence, then kick it out for wide open jumpers.
Vince's last drive was a good idea, if he didn't get fouled, he makes the 10/10 times with this ups.

Refs were retards in the Sonics/Raps game. Mo' Pete's feet were still moving when Ray Allen was called for that "charge" And Vince was clearly fouled during his drive to the basket in the final play of the game. I hate it when the refs try to control the outcome of games. I wish one of those refs would of had some balls.
