This game is a foul fest, though... a very heavy whistle...

Game's over if you allow the Cavs to extend the lead to 15 with Bron on the bench.

Korver plays hard... but it's good to see the C's finally start taking advantage of him defensively consistently in this one... they got to milk that over and over and over.

Some fans have problems with how much luck is involved in sports. If things break a different way, through no fault of the player or coach, perceptions change. A missed field goal, a lucky ping pong ball, etc. Drafting is definitely a luck-heavy part of the game.

Exactly. Sam Bowie is a good example. For years people talked shit about the Trailblazers taking Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.

The guy they really wanted, Hakeem Olajuwon was taken #1 by the Rockets. The Blazers needed a center because Bill Walton's feet were made out of paper mache. They already had some guy named Clyde Drexler who I hear was pretty good. So they passed on MJ and drafted Bowie.

Top 3 picks that season were Hakeem, Bowie and MJ. It was the Blazers bad luck that Bowie's knees turned out to be made out of the same substance as Walton's feet.

Interesting stat.

Boston has 3 wins this postseason when they have trailed by 10-plus points in a game.

These refs are complete idiots for even calling that backcourt.
