NBA: *** NBA Playoffs Thread V2.0 ***

I just find myself more and more confused as to what is a foul in the NBA or college basketball. Those announcers I guess were trying to tell me why it was perfectly legal for Leonard to pound Mike Miller's face before he ever released the ball on that dunk, but I don't understand it at all. If that is legal, why doesn't everyone do that on a dunk or layup? Meanwhile, they will turn around and call a hip check.
 
I guarantee you Manu has way more flops than anyone else in the league. The guy basically started the trend. Hell, James isn't even the biggest flopper on his own team.


Vlade takes great exception to this statement.
 
I remember this. I was only like 11 and wanted to watch but mom made me go to bed and she would watch it for me. late start 3 ot game was over around 1 in the morning. Because of this I never leave a game.


Ha, always listen to mom but I'm pretty sure she didn't watch.
 
Unbelievable game last night. I kind of wish I didn't have a rooting interest in it so I could have just enjoyed the back and forth.
As far as Game 7 goes, I think we're in for some extremely sloppy play. Tired legs are going to be a problem for both teams. Pop is going to have to go back to the drawing board to tweak the offense and find some ways to get a few open looks for Green early. And not leave Ginobili on the floor when he's throwing the game away. And not leave his stars on the bench until halfway into the fourth quarter.
 
Well for starters Ray Allen wouldn't have been in a spot to tie the game if it weren't for a huge 3 from LeBron that you conveniently overlook in your post.
Nevermind the brick he threw up three seconds before the gifted rebound and kickout the Spurs gave Mike Miller.
