The Rashard foul on Jones' missed 3ptr at the buzzer was an inarguable foul. Jones' recovered in the air, double-clutched, and damn near made the 3, which would have tied the game with, oops, 0.4 left, and then gone to the line for the winning FT on a 4-pt play.
No one can deny that the Sonics-Heat game was vastly more entertaining to watch and to play, and more strengthening for both teams, than the wasteful, bilateral crapper by the Spurs-Kings.
Just like the Spurs, the Heat miss 11 FTs, (Shaquille Duncan misses 6), Heat lose by 3.
Deveney's right. A huge problem for the Spurs is inconsistency. Game to game, quarter to quarter, you never know what you're going to get from the Spurs, or Pop.
Fortson continues to be a thug (intentionally bumped a Heat player running down court in crunch time), but his basketball is way beyond what I saw him do at DAL. Great FT shooter and rebounder, (but missed one in the last few seconds).
Sonics had 2 starters no show, but Fortson, Radmanovic showed up big. With AD, that makes a solid 8 man rotation, road-ready for the playoffs, now. Wishful thinking to the contrary, the Sonics don't look like a team that will fade or fall apart by mid-April.
