Game 6 NBA Finals Plays

[bainsey]

1. Nothing.
2. Foul, Allen, for the same reasons Cam stated.
3. Nothing, clean.

Regarding the Bosh block, I'm going with the minority here. The body contact occurred before the block. Usually, that results in a foul call.

I'm more of an interested fan during the playoffs where they tend to play the whole 48 minutes.

It seems the purity of the NBA left when Detroit's Bad Boys play affected the way the game was played in the past.

That and the special treatment given to Michael Jordon. PR took the place of real fairness in the game giving some teams an unfair advantage.

I would like to hear the opinions of you basketball junkies on my points, even if you disagree. Any added opinions are fine too.

I think you are buying into media hype.

Except for the 48 minutes of play, I agree with you. During the regular season, too many players/teams mail it in. Particularly in the late season where you see teams tanking on purpose to increase their draft odds. How is that sport?

Seems to me you're claiming the officials were intentionally cheating in favor of Jordan.

The NBA of the 90's was so watered down with mediocre teams, I guarantee you owners didn't want to see their cash cow sitting on the bench in foul trouble. Nor did they want to see him shooting 4-17 from the field with only 4 foul shot attempts.

Remember it took the greatest player "ever" 7 years to play on a championship team in the NBA. Not to mention his basketball owner letting him go play AA baseball for two years at one of White Sox MiLB affiliates amid rumors of gambling.

I'm not saying cheating, but the rules got bent plenty of times.

If you want to see intense competition, watch the Stanley Cup finals, in fact, the entire Stanley Cup Tournament. Sixty minutes of action, night, after night, after night.

I would agree if I liked hockey........but it is the time they don't look for any reason to fight, or the goons don't get ice time. I've never been a fan of two halftimes, but at least they skate sudden death overtime..

It does seem odd to those of us who are also fans of football, basketball, soccer, et al.

Although it does mean that I get to drink twice as much beer.

Both the steal and block shot were determined to be no call correct.
