Doyel you are an idiot

"The NBA doesn't even foul until after 30 seconds left in the game anyway because of the 24 second shot clock you can get more possessions in a minute."

What?! I don't even know what you are saying here, please try again. 

Thank you for explaining to all of us why they call a time out at the end of the game? I wasn't aware that they get the ball at half court!(sarcasm)

 You say that they are extending the game by calling timeouts at the end of the game, I say great.  That is good and all but we aren't upset that they are extending the game.  We all love more basketball.   But that is where the problem is.  We aren't getting more basketball, we are getting more free throws and more fouling.  It is great that the NBA has Kobe and Lebron, but honestly, I don't want to see them at the free throw line.  I want to see them breaking ankles and making nasty shots.  The last minute of the NBA is nothing but crap, I really have no idea what games you have been watching.

Also, gotta agree w/ yeahboy.  The refs are horribly inconsistent.  I don't think there has been any game changing calls this year(maybe the 3 pointer in the pistons game) but if something isn't a foul early in the game, why does it all of sudden become a foul late in the game?

Also, can we please just skip the rest of this round in the playoffs and bring on Lakers/Hornets and Boston/Detroit.  I have no interest in any of these series right now, although the spurs/hornets game was good last night.

 Do you not agree that the PLAYERS commit the fouls not the refs? blame greg popavich or Flip saunders that their teams are boring as hell. The last minute is perfect and for anyone wanting to see excitement I would say to forget all the other minutes and watch the last because that is where the memories and all-decade plays are made. Go ahead take away Derek Fishers 3 for the lakers a couple of years ago, or Jordan's shots against the cavs or Jazz. all of these happened in the final minute. All you have left is Lebron clanking threes off the back iron.

Also I wouldn't be so sure that the Hornets are going the beat the defending champs. For someone that writes a lot and acts like they know what you are talking about, your predictions sound like you looked at the seeding and picked the top four teams, and again this isnt college basketball.
