Sure. But deep down, we both know

He wanted revenge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-sf540XY7k

Exactly, Flagrants are simply a player intentionally trying to injure a player. That was hardly intentional. I would call the foul Pau pulled on Dwight Howard the other day a flagrant, but not this one.

I'm pretty sure that all the referees in the NBA are biased against the thuggets

not an observation based on tonight's game which i didn't watch, but just in general

and Lou is a legit player. Always liked his game. Lopez on the other hand is garbage...i cant stand him. The only reason he got into the NBA is some GM prolly mixed him up with his brother and accidentally drafted him.

I wouldn't put anything past Steve Kerr.

lol @ flagrant. pau wwas going for the ball idiot

you can't see me

It's not that odd.

<font color=goldenrod>This is why I don't watch the NBA. Too much bullshit.</font>

Why is that odd, have you met a Lakers fan? They are fucking crazy and retarded, IE SammyG.

Home fans of any time in any sport almost always believe they never get calls regardless of what anyone else says.

It's the way it's works.

Star players in the NBA get special treatment, that's a given. With the calls themselves plus the arguing. I'm sure David Stern really doesn't want to see Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, etc. fouled out or ejected from a TNT primetime game. The only "stars" that typically foul out are big men, now one could argue it's because they are more likely to foul, which could be true, but I think it's because they are less of a draw to the average fan. Watching a big man go to work isn't as exciting as watching somebody break a defender off the dribble and take it to the rim. That's why everyone rocks Air Jordans and not Air O'Neals.

I don't know if there are certain teams that get calls though. Part of me thinks that any team that is doing well will typically have a big star/draw ratings. Even if it's in a shitty market where people don't watch/go to the games like in Miami, they still have a big star with Dwayne Wade who is "interesting" to the common fan. At the same time though there are obviously "big" match-up's like Celtics/Lakers, Cavs/Lakers that are really going to generate a lot of interest.

whenever someone hits someone in the head or upperbody of another player its a automatic flagrant, if its done intentionally its a flagrant 2....idiot

After listening to the 30 for 30 podcast with Dan Klores, I'm about to get back into the Knicks. I think it's time.

Celtics crushed in the 4th quarter today against Cavs. Pretty sure the window has closed on the Celtics winning a championship, at least they got one.

god, ESPN is doing one of thier movie things right now and it's about Reggie Mille raping the Knicks. lol

Yeah it was great. The 8 points in 18.2 seconds is awesome no matter how many times I've seen it.

Reggie Miller still a prissy bitch jump shooter though.

GOD I FORGOT HOW MUCH I FUCKING HATE REGGIE MILLER

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEERYL

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERYL

Went to the Suns game tonight. Great W.

the Los Angeles Lakers

I want John Wall for the John Wall dance tbh. God i hope Indy gets Wall.

lol

Lakers looked like shit tonight.

I dunno, 56% shooting isn't that bad. The defense kinda fell apart for like 3 mins toward the end there though. I've watched every Laker game this year and I've seen uglier victories. This was basically a shoot-out.

Lakers do need to stop turning the ball over so much though. 24 TO's tonight.

my boy tyreke tearin' it up

He's good, but I hope his team loses tonight.

Bynum goes for 21 points, 12 rebounds (9-14/64& FG) and Gasol goes for 28 points, 12 rebounds (12-14/83% FG)

Go Suns :D

That is all.

152 pts tonight

SUNNNNNN SHOWWWWWWWWWWW

Cool, and they still won't get past the 1st round of the playoffs.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, NBA fans!

http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz...zq61o1_400.gif

so you're a celtics fan now?

Buck Foston :o

Andrew Bynum... strained Achilles tendon.

hopefully his career is over

ANDREW BYNUM SHOWWWWWWWWWWWW

... so what. Lakers work better when Pau starts at C and Lamar starts at PF anyway

and yet, weren't you the one who wouldn't give up Bynum in whatever trade rumors there were?

Of course I wouldn't wanna give him up. Dude can explode any night. but, he slows the Lakers down. This doesn't change anything. The Lakers are still repeating.

Washington Wizards

Gonna hang that poster on my wall...

that's disgusting.

UGH! LOVE AMA'RE!

The fucking Pacers are just stupid. Yay! We get to draft Cole Aldrich or something.

Bynum could return during the road trip, awesome.

wow Spurs falling apart in the second half/4th

Artest was sick defensively

lol Spurs 28% shooting in the 2nd half

Pop is a great coach. If Phil retires, I'd love it if we got him.

FUCK YOU FUCKING PACERS LARRY BIRD IS FUCKING RACIST AND WANTS TO WIN NOW SO WE CAN DRAFT FUCKING COLE ALDRICH OR SOMETHING THAT FUCKING HONKEY FUCK FUCK FYUCK FUCK FUCK

Josh Smith is awesome tho.

Josh Smith. Good Lord.

the lost art of the box-out

Drew back April 2nd :D

AND Phil said he is returning next year. Sweet. Three-peat!

Agent Zero gets 30 days in a halfway house, 2 years probation, 400 hours community service, and has to register as a gun offender.

Hmmm, seems kinda light.

And this is the same dude that had 500 glocks at his place.

if the pacers win tonight, i'm gunna go murder a cow

Danny Granger is doing everything he can possibly do to not let the Pacers draft John Wall or Evan Turner.

Jim O'Brien needs to be fire right now. I mean, in halftime Bird needs to walk down and fire him. WHAT THE FUCK

Gertner is not here, the best 3 players to come out of the draft in 5 years are at stake and OFCOURSE THE FUCKING PACERS ARE BLOWING THE UTAH JAZZ OUT RIGHT NOW. FUck my life

wow, wtf Lakers. Only 28 points in the first half. Oklahoma has 42 :n:

Thanks for showing up the last 3 weeks of the season Danny

MELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO

Somehow the Pacers are still mathmatically alive and the Raptors will have to have a monumental collapse and so far its happening, but i wont let myself get sucked in.

Damn the Pacers beat the Jazz pretty bad

Granger decided to come out and have the best game of his career. 44points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block.

He's easily the player of the week this week. I think he's averaged like 36 points a game the last 5.

actually he's averaged 33.6 for the last 5 games

Not bad at all

27.8 ppg for Granger in march

this from ESPN

Brandon Rush has had a forgettable career thus far, but as we head into the homestretch he may be on his way to a milestone of sorts. Rush has a PER of just 9.96 in his second pro season, but somehow leads the Pacers in minutes played with 2,159 --157 more than the next closest player, Troy Murphy.

If he manages to maintain his lead, he'll claim the dubious distinction of being the worst player ever to lead his team in minutes. My search through the record books unearthed only two other players in the post-merger era to lead their team in minutes with a single-digit PER: Bruce Bowen with San Antonio in 2003-04, and Jason Collins with the Nets a season later.

But those were two of the best defensive players of the decade (if not ever, in Bowen's case), so it's obvious why they played so much. Rush is just an average defender, making his usage more perplexing.


thanks Jim O'Brien

Hope the Thunder get the 8 seed so the Lakers can sweep them.

i dont think it will be a sweep for sure the thunder would win game 3 or 4 but the lakers would win the series 4-1 MAYBE 4-2

Time to break out the champagne.

Nets won their 10th game baby. Still got the record. WHOOOOOOO

Flip Murray with a crasy hook shot from three quarters court at the end of the third quarter. Didn't count though. :-(

Starting to give up. I don't think the Lakers have a chance at winning the championship this year. Seems like they don't give a fuck out there.

I wish you would tbh

Wow SammyG can't be a real person

huh

lol

Pretend to look at yourself from an outside perspective in this thread and you'll see what I mean.

Is Kobe really hurt? I want to use him in Pick One this week but I just got an injury update for him

On a shitty team, where hes there only real option, Granger is overrated, and I wouldn't want him on my team, which is why the pacers suck so fucking bad every year.

I think it's just the finger injury. Dude has been playing injured for the majority of the season.

Actually, I lied. He tweaked his ankle yesterday against Atlanta.

He'll be fine.

This is what the Lakers will do to their next 7 opponents

http://www.canoe.ca/WrestlingImagesR..._cal_may00.jpg

Good thing you didn't just say they don't give a fuck out there like 48 hours ago...

oh wait

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=96302

Really should have kept that updated

They really don't give a fuck.

ESPN is fucking lobbying for LeBron to go to NY. Are you kidding me

ESPN was pleading and drooling last playoffs and last 3 years for a Kobe vs Lebron NBA Finals. Only when the Celtics got good in 2008 did they switch to the Celtics vs Lakers for that year as a dream match.

more like BSPN, am i rite?

Noh, you're just gay.

"noh"

Yeah, New Orleans Hornets

Milwakue fans are retarded. Bogut gets injured on a dunk where Amare barely touches him. He's basically shielding himself from Bogut's back. Now fans are booing every time he touches the ball and are chanting "kick him out".

lol they are from Milwaukee bro. Come on.
