I dont know when. It did not effect me as I was on the over (loser). Portland up 9 with the ball and dribbling it out, when Sebastian Telfair launches a ball from 5-8 feet behind the three point line after the REF tells him he needs to shoot the ball, when in fact he did not need to. Of course he made it to win by 12!! Big controversy after the game as to why he even shot the ball.

Not that it's a bad beat but it looks like the T-Wolves are going to lose outright as favorites on their own floor again tonight.

lawrence- Congrats.

Jman- The clock was not winding down asit was off, but the ref clearly came over and almost whispered something in his ear. I mean he came right up to him and even looked to put his hand on his back and clearly said something to him. Bernie Bickerstaff was pissed.

Damn, I am glad i wasn't on this one! I know how hard they can be as much as anyone, that one sounded brutal!

Ref aided too!

Wondering why Bernie would care, the game was not close...

Iam sure he just felt like it was running it up. The crowd wanted him to shoot the ball also as it put them over the 100 mark and maybe they were laying the 10 also. He had the ball all covered up though until the ref came up to him.

SOB thats almost always a dribble out anymore...I would have been livid!

Maybe the ref said 'hey you realize the fans win a free pizza if you guys score 100'...sometimes they have these kind of promos....unfvcking real!

NBA tonight - brutal

Wizards +2.5 blow a 22 point 3rd Q lead and lose by 3

Indy +5 2ndhalf foul Dallas with 4 sec left up by 3 and Nowitzki, trying to miss, banks in a FT

NYK +6 2nd half blows a huge lead, including 7 points in final 45 seconds on Hardaway's series of TOs, missed shots and fouls.

As someone who had a -7/+10.5 middle set up on that game, I didn't need to hear that.

I don't watch the games only read the finals because of stuff like this.

I hope to god the guy who hit that shot gets herpes from the next skank he screws.:finger:

What really kills me so many NBA teams seem to just give up if down by 10 or so at end of game.I have seen a few games lately where they are down with well over a minute and don't even bother to foul.Why don't they keep fouling and launching 3 pointers? Back in the Larry Bird era teams wouldn't give up till the final seconds.Disgraceful.:bowl: :shootbb:

I disagree. I'm doing incredible this year. Key is to stay away from the TV game or feature game and you'll do ok.
