Something Funny???... Phil's Got What, 10 Rings???...w/that SAME Level of Talent, REED's Saying he'd Have 3...REED DIDN'T Stutter Either... REED:num:
Ha! DWade got his 5000 fine for that Ginobili flop. Good! I like Wade but hate the cheating that so often takes place in the NBA.
Yup! Knocked Ginobili out of the last 4 minutes of the 1st half and knocked down 2 free throws in what was ultimately a 2 point game. Really a disgusting part of the game, and I guess ironic that it happened against Ginobili...or maybe not...since it seems to happen so often, it's no shocker when a well known flopper, flops while being defended by another well known flopper. It's inevitable. Toothless rules or not. For some reason I don't remember this being a problem 20 years ago. Sure, guys like Karl Malone would commit 6 charges a game and get free throws out of every one. Sure, there was a star system in place and it was just as wrong. Karl would knock guys into the 4th row and get calls, no point in acting like he just got shot himself. Probably just as crooked, but we didn't have to deal with these WWE theatrics. Just guys beating the shit out of each other. When a guy got fouled, he got FOULED, no matter which way the call went, somebody at least got decked in the process.
The Point is, it WOULDN'T Require an Inordinate Amount of Coaching Ability, w/the Level of Talent Phil Jackson's Had @ his Disposal... REED:elmo:
Why can't they punish flops during the game with a technical? The most blatant flops are obvious and any ref can call it then confirm it with the replay monitor. A $5000 fine is so insignificant. You make them pay during games and I assure you the flopping will be reduced.
Yeah, these Guys are Making $40-$50 GRAND Per Game, if Not More...A Flopping Fine is a Step in the Right Direction, but a SMALL 1, Nonetheless... REED Has Heard Suggestions from Technicals to Giving Dudes a MANDATORY Foul to Begin Each Game, Meaning, DWade Would Start Game 3 & the Rest of the Series w/Only 5 Fouls @ his Disposal...& if Wade Flopped Tonight, he'd Only Have 4 Fouls to Use, the Rest of the Series... Regardless, Something MORE than a Fine of 5Grand Should Be Implemented... REEDopcorn:
Nope, it seems like when the Detroit Pistons started winning titles, that's when games started getting called tighter and tighter, until what we have now, with hand checks and touch fouls. When refs think they have to call every single bit of contact, it's no wonder they get fooled by guys acting like they are stunt doubles in a martial arts movie. I miss, old style 1980's-early 90's Big East basketball. Mourning and Mutombo clogging up the middle. You were forced to EARN your baskets, and for a while that translated to the NBA also. Probably just as many fouls called then, but they were EARNED, not just given.
We all have jerry Colangelo to thank for that. He convinced his good old buddy Stern to change the rules to make the game easier to the eyes of the casual fan. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nba/news/20140604/nba-finals-heat-spurs/
18-30 from the field, ladies. If Reed has to explain how fucking Lucky that is, you simply Don't know basketball.
Enjoy Your Win Spur Lovers, Because they Can't & WON'T Play (Or Especially SHOOT) Better than they Did Tonight, for the REMAINDER of this Series...GUARANfuckingTEED... 19-21 Start???...A RECORD SETTING 75.8% Shooting for a Half???...CAREER HIGH for Kawhi Leonard???...Leonard & Bitchass Danny Green a Combined 12-13 Shooting in the 1st Half, 100% on 3's???...You Could Put a COLLEGE Defense on the Spurs for the Remainder of this Series & they Wouldn't Shoot THAT Fucking Well from the Field Again... This is Reminding REED of Last Year's Finals...Buzzer Beater from Parker in Game 1, Green Straight Up UNCONCIOUS for the 1st 5 Games of the Series, THEN, Green COMPLETELY Falls Off the Face of the Earth (& he WILL Again) & Ray-Ray Hits 1 of the More IMPROBABLE 3's in Final's History, En Route to the Heat Winning the Title... The Spurs Walked Away Thinking the Heat were LUCKY, Which they Admittedly WERE, but there was BULLSHIT Flowing from BOTH Teams Last Year...Same Thing THIS Season...Bron Misses the STRETCH Run of Game 1, Sacrificing a LEAD & Now the Spurs Have THE Best Team Shooting % in NBA Finals History... Mark REED's Words, Luck WILL Swing Miami's Way Before this Series is Over & The Spurs Better Not Say SHIT about How "Lucky" the Heat Were, After it's All Said & Done... REEDopcorn:
Who's Tapping Out???....... REED has DEFIANTLY GUARANTEED the "Bullshit" Factor WILL Swing Miami's Way, Before the Series is Over...Just like Last Year, the LUCKY Shit EVENED Out, Eventually... So Too Will Be the Case This Year...You'll See... REEDopcorn:
luck cant help the heat. if referees take leonard out of the game early that can make a difference tho
