NBA 2012-2013

Game 7 of the 2000 Conference Finals was one of the best games I've ever seen. I also totally hated the 2000 Jailblazers team. I don't really want to besmirch it, but I will anyway. The Lakers shot 21 more foul shots than the Blazers. Mind you, we're not talking about 64 foul shots here, the Lakers had 37.

But it's interesting to me that Dick Bavetta was a ref in that game, Game 7 of the 1993 WCF and Game 6 of the 2002 WCF.

Clifford Robertson missed an easy layin to lose it for the Blazers in that game. Still haunts me.

See, another person with a good reason why it's OK to discuss the refs.

Discussing the refs is fine, but in the context of "They will for sure screw my team out of a win tomorrow" it's annoying.

Ranking the top Big 3's.

10. Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson
9. Magic, Kareem, Worthy
8. Drexler, Kearsley, Porter
7. Bron, Wade, Bosh
6. Kobe, Pau, Odom
5. Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc
4. Malone, Stockton, Hornacek
3. Duncan, Parker, Manu
2. Jordan, Pippen, Grant
1. Bird, McHale, Parish

And another kick to the nuts for Jazz fans:

4. Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek | Utah Jazz

Composite WARP: 189.2 | Qualified seasons: 6 (1994-99)

Cumulative WARP: 324.4 | Average WARP: 54.1

Championships as Big Three: 0 | Finals exits as Big Three: 2
If this trio played at any point in NBA history other than Michael Jordan's Era, they'd probably be known as the model for Duncan-Parker-Ginobili. But of course, the general public tends to be blinded by the shiny rings that the Jazz trio unfortunately never received. Their cumulative WARP of 324.4 ranked third in modern history.

A former All-Star and one of the premier shooters of his time, Hornacek probably doesn't garner the recognition that he deserves. The guy was a beacon of efficiency and nearly joined the 50-40-90 club in field goal percentage, free throw percentage and 3-point percentage, respectively, during his entire run with the Jazz. Easily the best Big Three to never win the title.

8. What, no love for Duckworth?

Crawford gets the call tonight.

David Aldridge asked Bosh why Danny Green was getting so open, Bosh answered with "he won't tonight"

Lebron will be wearing his new Lebron X shoes tonight, inside the shoe it says "2-time champion"

hmmm.

I am really nervous right now. I think this it for San Antonio not sure they can win game 7 in Miami.

You've got 4 in the bank, no need to be nervous.

Yep, game 7 would be tough for the Spurs. Joey Crawford out there tonight -- should be a good game.

I'm pretty surprised that Magic/Kareem/Worthy is not higher on that list.

Edit: Also, no Shaq/Kobe/Rice?

I saw a stat that the Spurs are 14-2 in closeout games on the road.

[cougjunkie]

Wow. Wade yokes on on Timmy and Kawhi answers giving Mike Miller what I am sure is not his first or last facial.

I love Kawhi Leonard.

I'm not sure there is a player I hate more than Battier.
