The NBA WANTS the Spurs to win. It was evident by the lack of a foul called on Bowen at the end of the game. They are building the Spurs up so that the Portland Trail Blazers can end their dynasty next season in the Western Conference Finals. GuaranSheed.
Whatever gets you through your very very long offseason .....
Sure, nba loves to have lousy TV ratings.
Should you still use the "guaransheed" line?
I think the Pistons trademarked it.
The fact that there was no call favored the Cavs. Lebron had a better chance of getting the jumper than the free throws in.
I stated in another thread that I think it was a foul but I also think the Refs let it go to give James an opportunity to hit the jumper. If the ref blows the wistle right when Bowen touches him its not in the act of shooting. The ref held back because it wasn't going to affect James getting the shot off and its good to see the officials attempting to let the game be decided by the players not the zebras.
James said in the post game that it was incidental contact and it didn't affect his shot. He was given the opportunity to tie the game and he didn't. I think it was a good no call.

yeah it was in the act of shooting, lebron is so bad ass he redefines the act of shooting from being in the act of shooting to dribble then shooting. My bro and I tivo'ed back to the foul sure bowen obviously fouled him but it was not even close to the act of shooting. LeNike had his chances and blew them.
If they blow the whistle and lebron hits that three, they wave it off. TLongII has a post saying, "This is a leaguewide conspiracy"...
What? You think Oden is going to get you, at the least, 4 championships???? Tim Duncan is going to make him his bitch. Its not even going to be funny.l That, along with the fact that Oden doesn't have much offensive skill, just means he will be another MontumboQuote:

It was NOT in the act of shooting. It was a foul, on the floor. LB should of shot 2. But it was not in the act of shooting. I saw many former players/ESPN analysts say so aswell. Guess you don't know much about basketball.Quote:

Dammit! Tlong found us out!
:lol
He wasn't initially fouled in the act of shooting if the wistle was going to blow it should have right when he touched him. Which would have been two shot had he gotten it off or an on the floor foul. He moved away from the contact and the refs gave him a chance to get the tie. That no called favored the Cavs in every way. Thats why James was a man about it in the postgame.Quote:

:rolleyes
Why? the spurs had a foul to give....it would have been Cavs ball on the side.Quote:
LB should of shot 2.
It's called "continuation" people!
Find it in the rulebook for me, please.Quote:

You're so god damn worthless dude. What happened to your POS thread before the Finals began claiming LeBron would kick our ass three ways to the moon?Quote:

What a jackass thread but hey that's what we expect from a dickweed like you
Foul count for the series so far: Cleveland 52, SA 53
FT Attempts for the series so far: Cleveland 59, SA 58.
So Cleveland has 1 less foul and 1 more FTA despite them being the only team in this series that has had to intentionally foul towards the end of games.
Yeah, that's a league conspiracy right there
End of thread.Quote:
