I conceded that it could've been a little bit earlier. 35 seconds qualifies as a little bit earlier don't you think?

you're kinda dense.

If you keep saying this over and over again it won't make you right.

You are wrong.

This is the playoffs. Do you have a better shot of winning and advancing standing around for 24 seconds down 9 or fouling within a second or two, hoping they miss free throws and hoping you can hit some threes and do that multiple times?

At least Cleveland has Delhomme now

When you are talking about the right play to make with 45 seconds left an extra 35 seconds make a difference, no?

You say you conceded it but you continue to say less than one minute when the calls for a foul were clearly with a minute+ when Lebron backed off Rondo and everyone started looking at the Cavs bench and then just gave up.

FlyWf predicted Cavs in 4.

Quit. We Are All Witnesses.

ezkuroy, awesome man

You were right about Jamison.

yes please bring on the "quit/we are witnesses" pics

actually lebron gave one hell of a ****ing effort tonight. but there was some quit at the end, so yeah, he's a quitter lol

God you guys love to argue about dumb *****. Obviously i understand that they have zero chance to win if they don't foul and maybe 0.0000000000001% of a chance to win if they do start fouling. My comments were not whether it was the right play or not it was that it happens all the time. A minute and 21 seconds, 45 seconds whatever. When a team is down 9 that late in NBA games they don't do the extend the game out forever thing by fouling that college teams do. You guys watch enough NBA to know that so don't act like i'm just pulling something out of no where.

Is fouling the 100% most mathematically optimal thing to do to extend the game?

Yes.

I never said that it wasn't. The point that i was making is that in similar situations in the NBA you never see the foul to the bitter end thing so to call out mike brown or the cavs for it is kind of lame. No one was yelling "foul foul omg hawks aren't fouling" in the hawks-orlando series when the game was obv over in the waning moments.

Out****ingstanding ! ! ! ! !

ima guess the scenario was a ton different in the orl/atl game you're referring to. and no, you're not allowed to compare random regular season games with playoff game 6s that can pretty much decide the future of your franchise.

Yes, Yes I do.

But you started this argument and are the only person arguing your side, and you are clearly wrong. The whole appealing to a higher authority move was really weak as well.

why do people care THAT MUCH if they foul? did someone bet the over or something?

The Hawks lost by 14 and scored the final 7 points of the game in the final minutes and a half, not exactly a comparable situation

that picture makes michael jordan roll over in his grave.

Dude i can't keep up with the new posts down to the second. When breen was talking about it, it was the 45-50 second mark. I don't know when the exact moment in time the 2+2ers started calling for fouls. If it was 1:21 okay fine. Still doesn't change the fact that it was very standard for the NBA and if you guys spent this much energy banging on it everytime it happened you wouldn't have time to do much else.

Maybe try it with "And like that" in the gap in the dust (where it makes an indent to the left), and put "he's gone" just below the dust, but above Lebron in the nice dark space there. Just an idea. Right now, "he's gone" gets kind of lost.

which player had his head out of town more, in their final game?

lebron, or cristiano ronaldo?

Next year it will be very obvious how horrible LBJ's supporting cast is. You can't beat good teams when you have the #1 and #6 best players on the court, even when the #1 is LBJ.
