    Man what a shot by Paul. That was really tough. His reaction is priceless just like "yeah I did that".

    Question, with less that .3 left go you possibly use the heel of your wrist to punch the inbounds pass towards the hoop? Or maybe volleyball spike the inbounds pass? You can't catch and shoot but those would technically be tips

    Chuck never stops with the idiocy. They interviewed Crawford on Inside the NBA, and Barkley was busy sucking up to him. "You deserved to be on the All Star team, it was a travesty that you didn't make it."

    Jamal Crawford wasn't even among the top 25 players in the West this season.


    STEPH CURRY was left off the All Star team. What kind of moron thinks Crawford was better than Curry this season (or any season)?

    And when he was banging the drum before the AS break for JR Smith and Crawford, he was unable to name a single player who should've been left off the team in favor of Crawford.

    The travesty here is Barkley.

    Just a touch. I think a spike would be too much, that's like an extended touch. Has to be inbounder throws it at the rim and a teammate just touches it, no spiking it down or anything.

    What would make me nervous is if I'm playing defense, you never know if some idiotic ref will call incidental contact as a foul. All hell would break loose if they called a foul on one of those tenth of a second plays.

    Bucks finally realize that it makes no sense to have Larry Sanders guard Bosh. Took a whole game.

    Sanders has potential. He's still quite young.

    To the Curry thing, I think you could have left Dwight off the team, he made it right?

    Do you NBA guru's think Denver has a shot to make it to the finals out of the West?
    I admire their team play.
    It's nice to see a team built like that in a league full of top teams consisting of 2 or 3 superstars that chuck it all game- surrounded by aging vets and role players.

    Would love to see Denver vs. the Knicks or Heat in the Finals

    Now that David Lee is out, that helps them and they should get past OKC. I'm not sure if they could get past the Spurs the next round though. If they get past the Spurs, most likely OKC waits.

    They'll need some help meaning injuries and I don't think Andre Miller turning back the clock every game can be relied on. They are a bad road team but very good home team, they lose the HC advantage after this round if SA beats LA though.

    He did make it but he couldn't have been left off the team.

    Here were the choices (Curry might have a case to get on over a guy, but Crawford clearly doesn't):

    Aldridge*, Duncan, Harden, Westbrook, Randolph, Parker, Lee


    *- The best candidate to be replaced. See this, for example.

    What's interesting is that Aldridge has been snubbed himself in the past. See this article from 2011. Aldridge was a better player than Blake Griffin that year, but Griffin got in because of his dunks. Hell, Aldridge and Love both should've gotten in over Griffin and Duncan.

    They should get past OKC? I disagree.

    I think they were second behind OKC in terms of likelihood to make the finals, but that's when they were healthy. Losing Gallo was a blow. I had them beating GS (Warriors aren't good enough, with or without Lee) and losing to SA.

    That's true. He's pretty good already. I was commenting on how they had their low post shot blocking force chasing Bosh around the perimeter.

    Bucks back against the wall. If they lose, they'll have to win 4 straight to take the Heat in 6 games.

    Ellis and Jennings were very quiet in that 1st half...

    0-5 shooting with 1 point between them...

    Who's scoring for them to keep them in the game? JJ? Ersan?

    why six games? because they can't win game 7? in that vein, they won't win game 5 either

    Brandon Jennings prediction was the Bucks in 6. I was mocking that :)

    6/11 from FT line
    Brandon + Monta = 11 only

    Only down 3 heading into the 4th
