We had another variation of this gag simply referred to as the "first foul of the game" bet. While still in the locker room before tip-off, we would make a wager on which of us would call the game's first foul. That referee would either have to pay the ball boy or pick up the dinner tab for the other two referees. Sometimes, the ante would be $50 a guy. Like the technical foul bet, it was hilarious — only this time we were testing each other's nerves to see who had the guts to hold out the longest before calling a personal foul. There were occasions when we would hold back for two or three minutes — an eternity in an NBA game — before blowing the whistle. It didn't matter if bodies were flying all over the place; no fouls were called because no one wanted to lose the bet.

We played this little game during the regular season and summer league. After a game, all three refs would gather around the VCR and watch a replay of the game. Early in the contest, the announcers would say, "Holy cow! They're really letting them play tonight!" If they only knew...

He speaks the truth about the 2002 Lakers/Kings Game 6. Everyone watching that knew it was rigged for the Lakers to win.

They should just move the Clippers back to San Diego. Either that or just have them be pre-game entertainment at Lakers games. Kinda like a special olympics version of the globetrotters.

Who's the worst franchise in California: Raiders or Clippers?

Clippers. They serve absolutely no purpose. Raiders at least help in the natural selection on the idiots who kill each other in the stands.

Mavs trailed Utah 67-52 going into the 4th quarter tonight.

They won by 11, 96-85.

26 point swing in one quarter. Most NBA teams struggle to score 26 in one quarter.

edit: the recap isn't up on ESPN yet, but my quick reading of the play-by-play says Nowitzki scored 29 points in the quarter himself.

J.J. Redick Alert

Through 4 games, Redick is averaging 15.8 PPG in 34.0 MPG, hitting 52.4% of three point attempts. He has scored in double figures all 4 games, including a 27 point night on Sunday.

Adam Morrison has scored 0 points in 3 minutes played, appearing in only one game.

Dirk was the first player since Shaq in 2001 to go 40/10/5/5.

Dirk's 29 points in the fourth was two shy of Wilt's fourth quarter record of 31. This is the closest Dirk will come to one of Wilt's records, especially his record for most women boned. Dirk does, however, have him beat in cheeseburgers.

Looks like the Steve Nash MVP campaign has started.

Yes, the Suns are 7-1, but only two of those wins were against winning teams.
And I don't expect Jason Richardson to hit 60% of his threes or Grant Hill to average nearly 9 boards for the rest of the season.
The team is a mirage.

I'm not a fan of the Pistons but they seem like they'll be ok once they get healthy.

Honestly I don't have a team inthe NBA. Usually my loyalty goes wherever my favorite player (Shaq) goes. I was a Magic fan, then Lakers, then Heat. But I don't feel like jumping to the Cavs. Never liked the team, and while I think LeBron is an amazing player I can't say I'm a fan

Rookie Brandon Jennings went for 55 tonight against Golden State.

The last time a rookie went for that many points was 1968, when Earl Monroe went for 56. What's more impressive? Jennings didn't score in the first quarter.

The Warriors sent Stephen Jackson and Acie Law to Charlotte in exchange for Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4659552

Not sure what Charlotte is doing here. They sent two expiring contracts (Bell this year, Radmanovic next year) for a malcontent with a 3-year extension that kicks in next year.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #109 on:** November 16, 2009, 12:48:33 PM »

What are they going to do with expiring contracts? Create cap-room to sign James, Wade, and Bosh?

Bocsius · « **Reply #110 on:** November 16, 2009, 12:51:50 PM »

If we were talking about the Clippers, they'd parlay those contracts into a max deal with Adam Morrison.

He's still capable of playing in the league, and starting on some teams. He's no longer capable of constantly driving to the basket successfully, and he's not a premier shooting guard in the west or east.

http://veetle.com has streams in HD, but the selection of games is sometimes patchy. Otherwise I just use http://atdhe.net and http://myp2p.eu, but the quality generally sucks.
