  1. Random thoughts. Sylvester Stallone is going to be one of the more underrated actors of this generation. Last Action Hero is a criminally underrated movie.

    I mean, some of them are a little extreme though. If you have to search 8 pages to find something its not really the same. You are down to like 1 percent relevance by then.

    I am not sure how you can call a injured guys performance pathetic. He played his heart out. he had a bad series, but he left it on the court.

    the bloods in the water. I just don't think the Spurs have as much of a killer instinct. The best player on the court happens to have it and he knows that he is 2 and a half minutes from the finals.

    Fines will be imposed for clear cases of flopping

    I am not in favor of this or the Hack a Shaq rule change. I don't want guys to stop flopping. I want it to start hurting their teams. And the best way to do that is to not call it. If a 265 lb player gets shot out of a cannon because he was slightly touched, just don't call the bullshit. Let him slide across the floor while his man gets a easy layup. The problem isn't the flopping, its the refs calling that bullshit. Basically this is fining players for the refs doing a shitty job. The Hack a Shaq thing, look, I think its lame basketball, its not actual basketball, it doens't prove who the better team is, it proves who has more players that can give pointless fouls. But, it can be solved easily if the player makes the freethrows.

    Rasheed has gotten alot of "He was looking at me all angry" techs. I remember he got kicked out of a playoff game against the lakers for looking at the ref.

    I honestly think Collins is a better coach than Skiles. Maybe even Avery ( I am not completely convinced that having Paul Westphal, Donnie Nelson, Dell Harris and others on the bench with him didn't help Avery alot). He seriously is a VERY good coach that has shown the ability to adapt to the styles of his teams and not so much just stick to one type of team, his players liked him, he knows the game and he is a winner. I wish Atlanta had hired him.

    Why is anyone pretending that Doug Collins is a bad coach? he has 4 losing seasons in his career (although one was half a year in Detroit where he was 21-24...so really on 3 losing seasons). the first year in Chicago and the last two year sin Washington. What the hell man?

    I don't know though. Its pretty random sometimes. LIke the other night Fisher got a T for swinging in the air despite Kobe getting in refs faces and we all know the Spurs bitch about everything. There is really no rhyme or reason to the getting T's in the NBA and its messed up because Sheed is that close to getting suspended when he shouldn't have gotten half of the T's.

    I wonder what kinda job he will be able to do without Jordan around to undermine everything he says this time. Personally I think he is a damn good basketball coach. Might not get you to a championship, but will get you on the road to one. Like Rick Carlise.

    Nick Hogan

    Maybe I chose the wrong words. I dont get the whole pretend this is a tragedy that was caused by Nicks spoiledness or stupidity. It was an inevitable occurance that two stupid kids were involved in and one got hurt more than the other. Sure they have been incredible assholes about the whole thing, but seriously, the whole outrage over Nick getting this kid injured is silly.

    Nick Hogan

    I personally thought the whole go to jail thing for nick because this kid got hurt was plain silly. The kid got in the car and knew Nick was going to be drag racing. Its unfortunate what happened, but seriously, that kid is far from a innocent victim in this. this isn't the first time he was in the car when Drag racing with Nick and it wouldn't have been the last if not for the accident. Now on the Hogans being a bunch of fucking dicks, yes, they are being complete assholes in this whole situation.

    The problem is that refs keep calling obvious flops and rewarding it. If it is a post game flop fine, then good, but for the in game, its on the refs. i mean Stuckly slightly touching Ray Allen on a inbounds play and Ray acting like he was shot and the ref calling a foul...that was ridiculous. Also, I really need to know what Rasheed Wallace says to refs. I mean, you watch Garnett call them every name in the book, PJ brown clearly said "If you would make a fucking call I would". Ray Allen was yelling with that "slapping the back of my hand in my palm like a parent" thing right in the refs face, Kedrick Perkins bitches about EVERY call despite them clearly being fouls, but Rasheed always manages to get a T in like 3 seconds. What is his magic words?

    I am starting to see the theme here. mark Jackson never jumped more than 2 inches off the ground in his prime, Van Gundy...nah. Reggie Miller...nope. thats why they keep not seeing the big deal in shoving actual big jumpers out of the air as a flagrant. That is simply the most dangerous foul in basketball. And yeah refs....reward that flopping.

    Good call by Phil there. I didn't notice the ball hitting the rim. So file it under who gives a fuck about the last shot.

    Dude, he didn't move into him. Fisher hit him with his feet still set. He didn't move into him at all. Then on the shot he jumped into him some, but there should have been a foul on the floor before the shot.

    Its one thing of the offensive player jumps into the foul, barry pump faked and fisher jumped on him. There was literally nothing barry could do until Fisher was out of the way then. he couldn't pass, he couldn't shoot...nothing. i am all for no calls when it doesn't actually affect the play. But that was horrible.

    That wasn't a bad pick for the Sixers. I mean, look at that draft. You could have had a bunch of guys that got paid alot of money and had career ending injuries.

    Kobe shooting that ball was the most boneheaded play of the night. I still think they will dodge the bullet but what the hell was HE thinking.

    Tonight, I think Pop made a big mistake pulling Brent Barry when he did. Barry hits some big shots, then he is immediately pulled int he 4th. they made their comeback with him on the court and weren't looking so hot when he wasn't.
