2012 NBA Playoffs: I love this game!

I was just thinking "I'm glad Funk isn't watching today so he can relax and enjoy his father's day." Whoops!

In the last 20 NBA Finals, the team that got to 2 wins first, won 18 times. The 2 times that didn't happen? The Heat in '06 & '11.

It wasn't clearly an offensive foul.

Was it a defensive foul?

There are 2 correct calls that you could make on that play, offensive foul or no call. One thing is crystal clear about that play, it wasn't a defensive foul.

I can't believe people still fall for Harden's antics, the guy is the most unrepentant flopper in the league.

Baseball dude. For your own good.

He deserves the call because it was such an obvious flop.

Harden was bodying him up 50 feet from the basket, lots of contact both ways. No way should a ref reward him with an offensive foul with 15 secs left.

Stupid decision by Harden and I don't have a problem with the call.

He deserves the call because it was such an obvious flop.

Not only that, but while it wasn't a foul when they called it, he had fouled him two or three times prior to that on the play.

(edit) just saw fusnik's post. I'm a hack.

This made me laugh.

Over under on Joey Crawford appearances in the remainder of the Finals (assuming it goes 7 games) 1.5 games -- you going over or under?

David Stern's audacity is truly something remarkable. Here we have a guy in Crawford who's jawing at a team/player (Tim Duncan) asking him if he wants to fight and not only is the guy fully reinstated as a referee, but he gets to continue reffing Spurs games. In fact he reffed Game 6 of Spurs v. Thunderscats.

He reffed Game 1 too I believe. No way should Crawford ever referee a Spurs playoff game after what went down between him and Duncan.

I just wish both teams could lose.

I like the storyline of Lebron and the Heat tearing it up in the regular season, having a great record, etc., and then falling apart in the playoffs. Some part of me is OK with players taking a pay cut to bring other great players to the same team.

On the other hand, I really really just don't like Hardin of OKC. I'm sure that goes back to his college days when he single-handedly beat BYU due to every time someone breathed near him or looked in his general direction it was a foul.

And I find Fisher annoying. Not because he left the Jazz. But because when he played for the Jazz he missed layups and after he left he seemed to never miss a critical 3.

I'm torn. Who do I want to lose the most?

I think there's been a foul that hasn't been called on just about every possession of this game so far.

I'm guessing that's not the quarter Miami was looking to have.
