The Bosh no call? Are you kidding me? I'm really baffled that people are complaining about that call. I really don't care about either team, so I have no emotional bias here, the only player on either team that I have any sort of emotion for is Manu Ginobili, and that is because I hate him more than any player in recent memory. I just feel like the people complaining about the no call either just hate the Heat because they think they are supposed to hate the Heat, or just know nothing about the game of basketball.
I agree he has room to grow still in confidence, which is the scary part because he has already been playing at a level Kobe has never achieved in the finals, and that coming from a HUGE Kobe fan. Still no comment on the atrocious no call walk leading into the no call foul, I guess it's just more fun to complain about the latter lol
LOL! Seriously, if two bodies can collide like that in the action of shooting and nothing is called, then they really need to change the name of the sport. It is no longer basketball. Baskethockey? Baskeylacrosse? Basketrugby? Basketfootball? Probably not the football thing, looks like that might be too much contact to be allowed in football.
Um...there can be contact in the action of shooting. Contact in the act of shooting is not an automatic foul. And it wasn't a collision either, Bosh only got him with his lower body. Everything up top was clean. If Green went straight up, and Bosh jumped like he did, then yeah, it would have been an easy foul call, but Green was fading away. It was good no call. I don't even see how this is debatable.
You win. I am old. Back in the day of using wooden peach baskets, that was a foul. I still think its time to change the name of the sport. Thugball? Wrestleball? Doubledribbleball? Travelingball? A lot of good alternatives to name the "new" game. I should just shut up, I don't watch it anyway.
Technically you are correct, it was a foul. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying it was a good no call. You simply DO NOT call a lower body foul on a fade away 3 point shot that had no affect whatsoever on the shooter to end the game.
I think the only time that isn't called a foul, is when the NBA championship is on the line. No ref wants to be the guy that made a call that decided the title. If this were a game in December, Green is at the line shooting 3.
But I thought "back in the day", the game was much more physical than it was today? How could it be more physical, but also deem lower body fouls on a fade away 3 a "collision"?
More physical than today? Are you smoking your Toms? I'm not one to argue, I really am not a fan. I enjoy a well refereed high school or college game. But, the pros throw too many rules out the window to be enjoyable for me. I just cant stand to watch it.
Every time I hear some old guy *****ing about today's game versus the game in their time, it's about how everything is a foul now and that the game was much more physical back in the day. You're first old timer I have ever heard complain that the game is more physical today.
I'm the new generation of old timers. I just like to see the game played by the rules. That concept is lost on the NBA.
That's one of those calls that can go either way, and either way one side is furious with the no call. I just find it humorous that STILL no one calling for the foul has commented on Ginobilis ugly *** walking 6 steps just prior.
At least in HS and college they call traveling and carrying the ball when they see it. Big difference from the NBA.
Lebron still sucks y'all. Down 3-2 in the series he drops 32-11-10 for a triple double then finishes game seven with 37-12. Not a clutch bone in his body I tell ya lol
He had a great game, no question about it. Shane battier was the difference maker imo. sent from my samsung note 2
So, do people still think LeBron can't close out games? Or series? 37 and 12 but also a jump shot, steal, and 2 free throws to seal the deal. 4 MVPs, 2 Championships, and 2 finals MVPs isn't a bad record for a guy his age... But haters are still going to hate and say the refs wanted him to win, he's not cluth, he can't shoot, yada yada yada...
