Big Al Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 big al Stern will never hand the trophy over to Cuban Don't I know it, which makes last night's ruling that much more unforgivable. Mark my words, Stern wants another Pistons-Spurs series so badly, he can almost suck on it. Quote

Joe Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 It wouldn't be the NBA Playoffs without some serious conspiracy theorizing. Anticipating a Game 7 down in the Hill Country. Quote

BruceW Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Deeeeeeeeetroit Baller Fans, What's up? You guys feelin' alittle nervous? Why ain't you guys talkin'...... Thinkin' of the NBA Finals?? SS1, yeah we are nervous as hell. Pistons are blowing it big time. If they lose, they are going to disappear and leave all the explanations to Saunders. If they win, they will be lucky and should not puff out their chests, which they will do. ... ... That call against Terry was bullshit, plain and simple. Not only does the tape NOT show Terry landing a punch to Finley, but it also shows THREE OTHER SPURS watching the same play. Didn't any of THEM have the guts to say something? GO MAVS!!! FUCK SKIP BAYLESS!!! You are one blind man in absolute denial. Al - I agree with your sentiments on Bayless in general. But Terry DID punch Finley...in the jewels.

Big Al Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I'm sorry, I've watched that video over and over and I don't see where Terry was doing anything other than trying to get his bearings. He was on his back, people flying all over him, Finley was in the path of Terry trying to get himself together. But, after watching it a whole bunch and especially in slow motion, I can see where they might see that as a legitimate punch. I'm not sure this will ever be truly resolved. However, something else I thought of: if Bayless thinks that the Mavs have needed the refs to win this series, then he TRULY has not been paying attention to this series, which, regardless of who wins, oughta go down as one of THE fiercest, most competitive, most EXCITING playoff series EVER! But again, that's Bayless for ya..... Quote

JSngry Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I saw contact and a closed fist. The velocity of the contact is a bit less than I'd consider a "punch", though. Looked more like a shove to me. but a closed fist is a closed fist, I guess. Quote

Aggie87 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 that film on jason terry was shot and EDITED by 5-0 SS1 - the video on my link shows it a little better, I think. No telling how many different cameras are rolling at any point in a game, but it's a little different angle than the one on the youtube link. Quote
BruceW Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Seems to me even if only one camera angle "caught" the punch, then it is still a punch. Quote
Big Al Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Granted, I'm a Mavs fan, so you can take the following with however much salt you wish; but..... Yes, Terry had his hand balled in a fist. Yes, Finley's crotch was right in the path of the fist. And yes, Terry's fist was headed in the general direction of Finley's nuts. But I still maintain that it was all "wrong place, wrong time;" there is lots of room for interpretation. I've watched this clip over and over and over and over and I still remain unconvinced that Terry did anything intentional. What really galls me about this decision is the fact that Terry is being suspended for "throwing a punch." Now think about this for a second: according to the league, the fact that Terry balled up his fist and threw his arm (to say NOTHING about making contact) is justification for suspension. (I suppose Terry should've simply reached into Finley's shorts and yanked; that would've only cost $10k). With that logic, nobody can ball up their fists and punch the air. Far-fetched, I know, but no more so than Stern's straw-grasping with this decision. I mean, it'd be one thing if Terry just up and racked the guy out in the open; this was clearly not the case. This series has been too intense for petty BS like that. But again, I'm a Mavs fan, so....... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 That article was lame. What, Duncan shouldn't foul out because he's a All Star? An All-Star is incapable of making six fouls? Tell that to Chauncey Billups last Wednesday! Quote
JSngry Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Skip's a trip nowadays, but he used to be pretty sharp. He was predicting Landry's decline and fall when everybody else still thought that he'd put together another winner, and he was just about the only cat in the world who predicted Montana over Marino back in Super Bowl Whateveritwas. But that was a loooooong time ago.... Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 I saw the clip a few times on "Mike and Mike." No doubt in my mind: Terry sent a quick hook into Finley's groin area. It was short and quick, clearly designed to intimidate. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) Detroit and Cleveland approaching halftime. I wonder where $$1 is right now.... (In front of the tube for sure!!) My predicted blowout hasn't manifested itself....yet! Edited May 20, 2006 by connoisseur series500 Quote
BruceW Posted May 20, 2006 Report Posted May 20, 2006 this game is in 4th quarter and is too close for my heart. Pistons better get their asses untracked. Quote
