NBA Playoffs

Choker is the word. See Derrick Rose for another example.

[Fildy]

He definately choked, but that should have been a flagrant. Ronod didn't even go for the ball and just slapped Miller in the face. Doesn't really matter though, Celtics should have won the series already.

Dont know if any of you are following the ATLvs Mia series But it has been a good one Game 5 tonight.

[Kurn]

Yes, let's turn all our sports into girly games.

Rondo's play was a winner's play, in the finest Celtic tradition.

I like how James Worthy pushes his own teammate, causing him to fall onto the courtside reporters

[Kurn]

Yeah, but Worthy keeps Rambis in the game. If not for that push, Rambis starts throwing punches.

[jillaj]

If Miller did it to Rondo it would have been a flagrant no doubt.

[Kurn]

Only because Miller doing it to Rondo would cause Rondo to fly about a mile and it would look worse than it really was, just as Rondo doing it to Miller made it look not as bad as it really was.

The refs have to make the call in real time. A flagrant with seconds left in an OT is a disgrace.

There's an old saying. "All's fair in love, war, and the last 10 seconds of an NBA game."
