21 in the 2nd half from IT has the Celts within 3.

 

[bksballer89]

Tied game in Miami with 1 second left.

 

[Vyle203]

Ugh. Couple triples from Conley. Mfer can shoot it.

 

[bksballer89]

Have no idea what to watch. League pass is amazing tonight. So is NBATV with this Spurs/Rockets game

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs up 2
Rockets up 1
Heat up 3
Celtics up 3

All late in the 4th or OT

 

[bksballer89]

Patty Mills for 3!!!!

The Spurs just stole 1

 

[bksballer89]

19-4 Spurs run to likely win the game.

 

[Vyle203]

Jeeeeeez Horford with these late game turnovers every damn time.

 

[bksballer89]

The Heat can't make a free throw if their live depended on it. This is sad

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs/Bucks heading to OT

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs/Bucks heading to OT

Celtics/Griz heading to OT
Magic/Heat heading to Double OT

 

[Vyle203]

OT in Memphis too.

 

[bksballer89]

Miami is going to lose because they couldn't make free throws to seal the victory at the end of 4th and in the 1st OT. Nothing pisses me off more than a team giving a game away because you can't do the simple things like hit free throws. First time I've been mad after a game since the 2nd game of the season

 

[Vyle203]

Flagrant 2 on Randolph.

The Heat can't make a free throw if their live depended on it. This is sad

If we had proper FT shooting, we'd probably have a winning record. It's been beyond awful.

But......lottery pick.

Yeah its a disgrace. And bad thing was it was the solid free throw shooters. We're getting a lottery pick either way. You can't lose games like this. At some point this team needs to learn how to win & close out tight games. This season is such a nightmare.

How are you a 66% free throw shooting as a team for the season? Doesn't even make any sense

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

GO SPURS GO.

The SPURS torture poor Dantoni. He must have nightmares about the Black and Silver and bad beats.

Although, missing some free throws was troublesome. It almost cost the Spurs at the very end.

Disagree, coaches should do whatever needs to be done. The way the league can fix this is lengthen the season so there's no back to backs.

Gotta disagree with your disagreement or something like that. It's expensive to go to an NBA game. If I'm putting out the kind of cash that it takes to see a certain player in person, I'd like to see that player play if he's not injured.

These players have what they have and make the money they make because of the fans. I've never been a particular fan of Kobe, but one thing I give him credit for was that he understood that. It's a big part of why he never wanted to sit out games and played in games when he really had no business playing. But he understood that the fans are why he has what he has and he wanted to try and give them their money's worth.

As for lengthening the season and eliminating back to backs. Why? What kind of pussies are these guys? Back in the 70's, teams would play back to back to back. If memory serves, the '72 Lakers played at least 2 and maybe 3 sets of back to back to back games during their 33 game win streak.

With the far better accommodations and much easier travel that players have today, there's no reason for these guys to have a problem with back to backs.

Good lord this Dubs Jazz game is ugly so far.
