Drose got burned on the defensive end which lost a game for the bulls in the bucks series, so it's cool that he wins a game for them now. His expression after the shot like "i'm the man" cracked me up, because that shot was mostly luck. Bulls might be without pau gasol in the next game.

They could've won with Gasol.

Did you see DRose stand perfectly motionless while LeBron charged into him? Rose went flying, then jumped back up and headed down court; but LeBron wound up under the basket writhing in pain.

That was one of the bravest and most foolish things....Rose laying his body on the line like that. Not even the big guys stand in LeBron's way.

The Cavs coach almost had a Chris Webber moment. Was trying to call a timeout with 20 seconds to go when he had no timeouts left. He got lucky as hell.

dayum I hated the ending to that game. I was watching when they put the time back on the clock. Guy next to me kept saying...they won't make it because .8 will be too much of a rush for anyone to sink it...then the refs put a bunch of time back on the clock...and LeBrand did his thang. He's so whiney for a manly man. Bothersome creature all around.

He did...but...those things actually happen a lot. Coaches motioning for a timeout they do not have...and an assistant stops them. Because stairs was a high profile game it got a lot more attention...as it should...but it was hardly unique.

Also not unique for a star player to change a planned play.

The delay checking the clock turned out to be correct. There should have been more time. And because those things happen all the time...these delays checking out of bounds or time, essentially giving teams an extra quick timeout, including DEFENSE, not a big deal.

I turned it on yesterday and watched Derrick Rose nail a couple of free throws.

they need to get rid of that. If they review, the players go to the other side of the court.

Every time I see him hit a free throw, it reopens the wound.

In this case it gave the Cavs a timeout they did not have. They need to fix that. Never mind that LeBron threw Butler out of the way. Let em play.

Chicago did not have a timeout either.

Both teams were able to regroup.

And more important,y, the clock was incorrect and was fixed.

Maybe the NBA can adopt some rule changes...if a review, players stay on the floor, do something with this fouling strategy- it kills the product when done the entire game, address the whining like they said they would do. Makes the product less watchable. Every made three point shot or free throw being accompanied by some ritualistic motion gets old too...especially when a big production.

The game itself is great...tweaking some of that crap would make it a lot smoother.

Very Tiger related because of DRose.

I've been screaming this (not on here obviously) for years. It gives both teams a free timeout that neither one deserve. Even better, if the teams do go huddle up during a review, then charge the teams a TO. If they don't have one, it's a tech
