It was a travel, for sure.....but the officiating completely sucked this whole game. It was atrocious......

not surprised. but I only saw the last 5 minutes or so, watching other stuff I had on the DVR tonight

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

I called the NBA thugball , and as a whole, it is.

As a science type, doesn't it just kill you to say shit without any basis?

the fact that artest and several other douches are still allowed to participate proves my point

LOL "several other douches"

Alright I want some names, McCarthy.

Dime out them douches.

Bump for Joe McC

A great, great game. Wild and exciting and another victory for the Thunder. After last game's gigantic clownstomp, I figured the Lakers would bring it for game 2. And they did. Thankfully, the Thunder stepped up at just the right time to win this close one.

*insert every swear word here*

Those final two minutes were just plain awful. 7 point lead gagged away. And that jackass Mike Brown had 3 time outs and didn't call one until after OKC got the lead. A good coach would call a TO after two consecutive turnovers to settle things down. A good coach would call a TO when he sees his team struggling to get the ball into the post instead of watching Artest getting the ball with 7 seconds left on the shot clock and throwing a bad pass to Kobe to jack up a long 3 as the shot clock expired. LA did just about everything right for 46 minutes only to throw up all over themselves.

Keep going. You're at 4 out of thousands of players.

@ me for turning it off with 6 minutes left.

I never have sympathy for LA teams. Sorry.

That said, you're right. Okc did everything they could to give that game away. I don't see this working out for LA.

pop quiz

a= number of nba teams
b= number of players per team roster

c=a*b

you claim c > "thousands"

try harder

D league, free agents...

regardless, 1/80 players (conservative estimate of little over 10 players a team) is a significant enough trend to say it's "full of thugs"

?

I believe you're the one who needs to "try harder"

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

1.25% of NBA players are "thugs"

Therefore, it's thugball.

 

[Beggs]

WCCO Minnesota's Jason DeRusha reports that in 2010, the NBA had by far the highest arrest rate (5.1 percent) of the major professional sports leagues in America.

National average arrest rate is 4.2%

NFL is at 2.2% and MLB is 2.1%

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

They also have maybe 1/5 of the player pool. What about the total number of arrests?

Regardless, 4.2% is hardly "thugball"

 

[SoonerDO]

He called the sport "Thugball" and said Ron Artest elbowing harden was "The latest black eye for thugball"

I called the NBA thugball , and as a whole, it is.

National average arrest rate is 4.2%

NFL is at 2.2% and MLB is 2.1%

What about NHL and MLS?

MLS has to be the lowest.
