NBA Ramblings- May 5th
Paul Pierce's technical foul on Mo Williams in Game 2, reminded me how I'm beginning to think continuation in the NBA should be outlawed. If offensive players are allowed to complete a play after the whistle, why can't defensive players do the same thing to prevent an "And 1"? (James Posey was very good at this). It's just not fair.......The Spurs went on a 14-0 run in Game 1 of their series with the Suns on Monday night after the Celtics game. They actually cut the lead to 3 but couldn't get over the hump. I still think they win that series. And in case anyone else doesn't want the Flakers to make the Finals, cheering for the Spurs is your only bet, considering Alvin Gentry's comments earlier in the year where he mentioned "no one beating the Lal 4 times." Way to evoke confidence in your team. I still say the Spurs win that series as Popovich is the master at making adjustments.......TNT's promotion of "Leverage" is on par with "The Closer" from a few years ago. The only difference is Leverage actually looks somewhat tolerable. Sorry Kyra Sedgwick.
