I also have no doubt that all you Celtic and Bulls fans would be arguing the exact opposite positions if the situation was reversed haha.

that's how all close games should be decided. ok your smallest guy gets to clock our biggest guy, and then we see who can make the most ft's.

well duh, i'm not complaining about ray getting tossed and no c's fans are up in arms about rose never getting a call.

i think the refs wouldve called the flagrant if theyd initially realized how bad the hit was but then the whole thing sort of just meandered along until millers at the free throw line all squinting and in pain
― p?nico (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:14 (fifteen years ago) link
but they were over there reviewing the play the whole time. according to local chi announcers, they went to the monitor once, then went back again.

Del Negro should have just told the trainer to pretend to not have any Stop Bleed or whatever, a la Steve Nash's bloody nose
― DJ Khaled El-Amin (dyao), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:17 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i didn't even realize he was bleeding at first.
i will fully admit the bulls didn't get some calls in that game (how does perk have 0 fouls for the game??) but also that ray fouled out on some tacky bullshit. in a game that close, as i stated, there's about a million things that could have broken differently and produced another result. that's just how it goes.

Tim Donaghy probably had a lot riding on this game and called in some favors
― DJ Khaled El-Amin (dyao), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:20 (fifteen years ago) link
had there been no blood i dont think people would be as into the idea of this being a flagrant - and the presence of blood doesnt necessarily correlate w/the severity of the hit - could easily just be a weird freak cut
just to be clear by the rule book as rondo was not making a play on the ball and it was a blow to the head that was clearly a flagrant - agree w/it not being called tho

nah it should've been called for sure, absolutely. but whatever, the bulls will just get a couple of extra calls their way tonight.
― ~*GAME 2 SNYPA*~ (omar little), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link
ok cream, i am a huge stan for rondo, and i'm glad the Cs won, but if you agree that it was a flagrant, wtf? what are these "non 48 minutes who score the most concerns" that are going to destroy the game? we should just let 'em throw punches as long as the clock is winding down?

A flagrant foul-penalty (1) is unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent.
the complete flagrant 1 definition from the nba rules, fwiw

well the extra game considerations are protecting player health - its obv important but has nothing to do w/the actual game of basketball
throwing punches is another issue altogether - that an obvious ejection and suspension - the player at that point isnt playing the game of basketball and is endangering people - rondo on the other hand was just trying to keep miller from scoring
should be noted too that rondos play doesnt even register as far as shit they used to let guys get away with in the golden magic/bird/jordan era
― p?nico (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link
rondos play was clearly necessary
― p?nico (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 17:55 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah that's my thing--seems like the refs called based on rondo's intent, not the result. obv problematic in some sense. it would help if the wording of the rule wasn't retardedly vague.

Shaq's punch is so comical looking.
I suppose if I was Brad Miller we would also be stripping naked and running away so really I can't judge.

"Dwight Howard had a great game, and he's a great player, but he just lives in the 3-second lane on offense and defense," DiLeo said. "I'm just saying he's standing in the 3-second lane on offense and defense. He's a great player, and he doesn't need any advantages."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy heard DiLeo's remarks, took the podium and defended his star center by taking a shot at DiLeo.
http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nba/coaches/65/30030.jpg "Am I supposed to come up here and talk about the game. Or am I supposed to come up here and lobby for the calls I want the next game?" Van Gundy said. "Is that what it's about now? We're supposed to lobby for the calls we want the next game? Let's just play the games."
