NBA Playoffs 2012

[DC]

you guys act like the top superstars dont get double standards in all sports..

Not the NHL (unless it's off-ice discipline).

your right ra though caps fans have cried out for years that sid the kid got preferencial treatment

BROOOOOOKLYN!!! Stephenson giving LBJ choke after missing FT LOL



Looks like the league did suspend DWade for game 3

[DC]

hey I have hyped him here last 5 years so got to say Dwade was beyond awful.. When you signed the big 3 you are only left with min cap space.. just like paxson, kerr, rick fox, before them all heat role players have to do is hit open shots .. for the most part they are not..UD is working hard but cant buy basket.. Battier shooting career worst %..with bosh out wade and bron need to be wade and bron and only lbj is holding up his end of the bargain..

Really interested in what happens sunday.. its not like lakers, celts, bulls were never down in a series before during their runs years ago so we will see if the heat got heart or not..

[tballa55]

This series goes 7 and I'm sure Miami will win, but Indy is up there with OKC on my exciting teams to watch list.

BS1 are you finished playing doddle-jump yet and went bought a Celtics hat?

[jtk4]

your in the minority on that jtk .. every team and fan outside boston and indy have felt those qbs get quicker flags thrown when their hit.. now you can add rodgers and brees.. i dont mind it.. Sports is TV entertainment.. NFL should protect their stars..I'm Pats fan and I totally believe Tom draws more flags ... NBA nor america wants Indy/SA finals.. Were a country that loves superstars.. we love underdogs yes but David without Goliath no one watches.. Goliath vs Goliath people will.. even if you disagree with nfl vs nba point nba itself has been giving stars preferential calls forever..

Here is the amount of roughing the passer calls over the last 4 years. NE was tied for third but "Patriots appear to have a fairly high count, but only eight of those calls were for Brady, two were for Cassel, two for Hoyer."
1 BUF 17
2 OAK 14
T3 ATL, CAR, CHI, MIN, NE 12
T8 DET, SF 11
T10 NO, STL, TB 10
T13 ARI, DEN, GB, JAC 9
T17 CIN, NYJ, WAS 8
T20 CLE, IND 7
T22 HOU, KC, SD, SEA 6
T26 MIA, NYG, PIT, TEN 5
30 DAL 4
T31 BAL, PHI 3


So uhmm yeah. Good point.

[tballa55]

The whole passing more than most teams might factor in too.

2 points first why only go back 4 years..peyton and brady have been the big 2 since at least bradys second SB so i would have gone back 8 years... second its not just number thats the factor.. its how many that were called were actually roughing the passer.. hence the big time stars will draw the flag on questionable hits.. only way you can really determine that is watching the tape of all of them.. have fun

or quality of o line even giving chances for qb to get hit

but whatever we should move this to nfl thread.. im pats fan and I LOVE the fact brady will draw flags on questionable hits.. but god forbid someone from boston is rational with home teams.. fuck if lebron joined the celts they would find a way to justify cheering him saying that being in this city changed his values .. even though he would be same guy..

[jtk4]

does not really matter if you go back 4 or 8 or a 100 the numbers point to Brady and Peyton not getting a greater amount of calls comparative to the league. He only had 8 in 4 years so it would not be that hard to go back and watch those 8 (assuming you had the film) and see if they are warranted or not. But I am willing to bet that some of the "scrub" QB's were also awarded RTP calls that were questionable. IF brady had twice as many as the next guy I would agree with you. How is this not rational? I gave my opinion and backed it up with facts.


So back to my point, the NFL is fairly consistent on RFP calls.






Chalmers brought it tonight.

[DC]

Dwade is on the spot Sunday afternoon .. If lbj had played that way.. terrible shooting game.. but worse bitching to refs instead of getting back on d.. going off on coach for calling you out on it.. not getting with team in huddle.. every douchebag from Bill Simmons to EL Prez would be all over him to no end...fuck Prez still posting about lebron again this morning .. Wade has gotten the free pass cause of 06 right now.. Hope he mans up and someone besides colin cowherd tells it like it is regarding heats struggle..

keep holding your breath

[Section 40]

I'd rather shoot myself than listen to C-Webb...Mute??

Doris Burke makes cwebb sound like Marv Albert

[tballa55]

DC congrats on having your Heat back, if they keep playing like that they'll be very hard to beat.

Spurs might sweep the playoffs

thanks not out of woods yet though ..

no way spurs sweep okc .. that has 7 or at least 6 written all over it...

[tballa55]

DC thank Stern for telling the refs not to call a flagrant 2 against anyone on Mia, because if that was called correct the series would be over.
