Ticket says
So far Mr. B 95-94 E-Team with both loving their Lakers: B's Nash 18-E's Howard 21 at halftime. B's Gay & Grif vs E's Ellis & Tim later.
A Johnson,CP3 +Ticket 141-109 Invaders+ JR Smith on Ticket's radio in a slump + Westbrook & Vucevic.
Correction Tix 142 so far
E Team says:
So, nobody blows up, nobody falls down.
E Team 124, B Team 124
Looks like we'll play a little two on two:
Monta and Duncan vs. Griffin and Gay.
Partial scores-E vs B tie as posted....Ticket 142 as posted Invaders 136 also 2 on 2 Amir and Paul vs.Vucevic and Westbrook...Wingos done at 154 Caps only 81 and needing 74 from Harris and Jennings to get the win...Swat 155+Conley Germans 90 w/Harden/Durant and Ibaka still to play
E Team says:
Mark, Conley went already.
Somehow Invaders missed Conley but had Zbo and Gasol so add 31 for Sean and Swat finishes w/186 Germans need 97 form their remaining 3 guys a good bet w/KD and Harden being among them
Ticket argues for three more fantasy points swindled from his opponent's beloved neighbor. Check it out.
NBA officials miss enough calls, whether in major situations or not, that it's foolish for anyone to expect them to be perfect. Yet it's not unreasonable to believe that referees will understand when and how they're allowed to apply their judgment based on the NBA rulebook. From the point of view of the Chicago Bulls, that rationale justifies their anger over the final seconds of their home game against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
With just 5.7 seconds left in overtime and the Nuggets leading , Bulls guard Marco Belinelli took the inbounds pass near midcourt and dribbled down the left side of the court. With roughly 3.2 seconds on the clock, he hoisted up an out-of-control jumper while falling out of bounds near the baseline, and the shot appeared to be destined to fall short. That's when hyperactive All-Star center Joakim Noah soared over Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler to tip the ball in with his left hand for an apparent game-winner. It was a terrific effort.
Unfortunately for the Bulls, the triumph was short-lived. The referees reviewed the play and determined that the ball was over the cylinder when Noah touched it, thereby constituting offensive interference. This change did not make Chicago head coach Tom Thibodeau happy, and he immediately began to yell some not particularly nice words at the referees. Denver's ensuing inbounds pass was uneventful, and the Bulls were saddled with the loss.
Yet, according to Thibodeau, the issue had nothing to do with Noah touching the ball over the cylinder. Rather, it's that the play never should have been reviewed in the first place.
Review in the final seconds is common now and Invaders former upstairs neighbor was doing what Russell and Chamberlain did frequently and w/impunity in the early 60's.It was a common to hear Warriors announcer Bill King to utter the phrase "...and Chamberlain guides it in.."It was set play for Chamberlain and Russell as none of the other teams in the league had big men to stop it.Bullets who moved to Baltimore in '63 were the former failed Chicago Packers expansion team of '61-'62 (meant to drive rival ABL club from the city) had at center Walt Bellamy the 3rd beast center of the time he scored well but was a poor defender-Noah should be commended for putting up the most complete stats of any center in the league and being rarely worried about scoring-next closest all around stat sheet stuffing big men are Marc Gasol and Roy Hibbert
Final in a low scoring contest seemingly no one wanted to win Wingos prevail over the ineffective Nitecaps 154-136 HW(Rubio-7...Klay-20...Danilo-21...Horford-33...DWill-39...Dirk-34)Caps(Jennings-36...Harris-19...Turner-9...ZBo-27...Pekovic-15...Dragic-30)
E Team says:
The Wingos avoid the tab! The Wingos avoid the tab!
Tix says
Invaders 194-179 Tix needs A (16) Johnson.
E's up 6 with his Tim vs B's Gay.
Loved the Bellamy reference. The ABL became the ABA I presume. Had Zelmo Beatty been a Hawk? Had he a one dimensional Bellamy rep? The Floridian who may have seen his records broken by Hardaway,Wade,Zo or LBJ (had the NBA seen a brighter future there than Missouri's Hawks)?
Tix says
With the demise of E's less used Tim & second option Supermutt Howard, has the NBA ever had less dominance in the pivot? Noah a lower scoring center than Noah, possibly the best in the biz? Could Rose and an upset of the Heat later in what's now Spring launch Noah beyond the good but not yet best centers in their day?
Zelmo's first big year was '63-64 I believe.He was looking good from pick and rolls from Wilkens one of the great points of the era and Bob Pettit's ability as a "stretch 4" (before the label existed that's now so fashionable) who could rebound as well but Zelmo was a more refined mid range shooter and an efficient scorer than a dominant force-by 1965 Nate Thurmond was the 3rd best big man followed by Wayne Embry who Wes Unseld was a clone of.The ABL wasn't related directly to the ABA but has 2 things in common-the 3 point shot rule and that Connie Hawkins was the best player the first year of both leagues-Hawkins led the league in scoring and was MVP at age of 20 in 1962 in the ABL
And even suffering through the torn labrum Howard is still the best center in the league Invaders believe but the only thing that bothers me is the complete lack of any sign of improving incrementally his shooting and offensive instincts.Russell was never really a very good offensive player but he worked on his shooting and had tremendous instincts about when to go to the hole w/his superior athletic ability.
partial scores-Tom's post of score w/Invaders is correct awaiting Amir...Swat 186 P4 151 Harden still to play...E 168 B 162 Duncan vs.Gay to decide it...and congratulations to Hawthorne I better try and win that NIT ...
E Team says:
Ticket lives to play in Match 40.
Swat must keep the Jazz at bay and, more importantly, hope Harden doesn't notch seven more fantasy points with minutes to play and the Rockets up 12.
And Tim Duncan goes to the bench late in the third, have logged his 32 fp, leaving the E Team in a momentary 200-200 tie with Mr. B. It matters not whether Duncan returns; the E Team has clinched third place in the regular season.
E Team says:
Less than 20 seconds to play, Jazz has to foul, who has the ball?
Harden, of course.
He hits two and the Germans win the pennant! The Germans win the pennant! The Germans win the pennant!
Final Ticket beats the Invaders 205-194 T(Noah-39...Amir-26...Josh-26...Curry-40...Paul37...Wall-37)Invaders(LaMarcus-50...Vucevic-22...Thad-33...Westbrook-36...JR-27...BLopez-26)
Final-In a thrilling clincher the Germans win it 188-186 over Swat P4(Holiday-43...Harden-37...Durant-49...Bosh-22...Ibaka-12...George-25)Swat(Conley-31...Lawson-20...LBJ-60...AJeff-24...MGas-33...Batum-18) Congratulations to the P4's for winning the regular season title
Final ETeam has beaten the Belveders 217-200 E(Howard-30...Monta-44...Pierce-35...Duncan-49...Kemba-31...Vasquez-28)B(Nash-29...Wade-32...Gay-38...Griff-38...DLee-36...Boozer-27) ETeam takes the high point money w/ his 217
Tix says E-Team's Tim replaced by Diaw with 4 minutes left in game, not the third period, with a 72-62 lead over GS. Thought my goose was cooked since an E-Team tie with Senor B meant I could tie him in the standings but not match his points in match 40. Tim returns to game,scores and Mr. B meets me with a trip to the dance more or less coming early for us. In honor of E-Team I will name the 5 & up team I manage after the big & little "E".
E Team says:
Look, it really is the Big Dance.
It even has a play-in game!
Congrats to the P4s on the regular season title.
Russ Hodges! Best call ever.
P4
