Stern Wants to Allow Basket Interference in Games

“Well I’m going to urge the owners — and it’s not very radical but we were talking about it for awhile — to adopt the international rule on basket interference. That is to say, once the ball hits the rim it’s in play. Because I think that it’s too hard to call. I think that we don’t want to stop the game every time to see if it’s the right call, but the camera that looks down on the basket can tell the story if the refs have gotten it right. And it’s just impossible to call to make whether the ball’s touching the rim, on the rim, off the rim or the like. And I think that would make the game faster, better, and less controversial.”

I'm all for it, what you guys think?

against it, it makes the game more about size rather than fundemental skills or finess

and axle, as another laker fan, I have to admit at first I was thinking WTF, but really... the lakers came into that series on a losing streak, and have a LONG history of getting torn up by PG's (sorry Dfish still love ya tho). remember when arron brooks of the houston rockets went for 30 a night against LA and nearly took them out in the second round.

anyway they seem to have found there groove and bynum is improving noticably game by game. keep this in mind my east coast bball lover. LA won the last two championships with bynum playing virtually no minutes, giving them about 5:5 on an injured knee.
 
^ Word. Andrew has proven that he is easily the 2nd best Center in the league behind Dwight and you can even argue that this year, he has been better than Howard defensively. He owned Perkins last year on one leg, now that he's healthy.... C's better watch out!

lol, that kid is never healthy. He is always one slip away from busting up that bum leg of his again. I know every time he walks funny or lands after a rebound or dunk Laker fans are wincing. The kid is a walking glass jaw which is why no one else wants him.

Bynum is nowhere close to the defensive player as Howard. .4 spg and 2 bpg is nice for Bynum no doubt, but Howard 1.4 spg and 2.4 bpg is far better as well as having 4 rpg more. I don't see how you can even argue Bynum being better defensively.
 
He alters a ton more shots than Howard.



Lol OKC fans talking all kinds of shit about how the Lakers are scared of them lmfao. I really want to see them play Memphis. When Shane battier and Tony Allen are sticking to Durant and Westbrook like flies on crap, you can see how empty their offense would look.


IN YO FACEEE!

This is not a case of the No. 1 seed losing or embarrassing itself. The Grizzlies took this series despite the Spurs' considerable effort...




Grizzlies in 6
Lakers in 5

Celtics in 6
Bulls in 4

Funniest moment of the night: Grizz player (I believe Randolph) gets knocked into the stands, and lands on some rotund middle aged white guys lap. He proceeds to yell at the individual who pushed him out, while remaining right in this guys lap. Fucking hilarious scene.

Eventually the guy tried to push the player off of him, but seeing a basketball player yelling at somebody while in a fans lap is a strange moment. You would think he would have gotten up then started yelling.
 
Watch out for those Mavs. Noone gives them respect. That is dangerous. They will take LA to a minimum of 6, I'm thinking 7.

That was tony allen.
 
it would be nice to see the Mavs win, but it's tough to buy stock in any Dallas team in the playoffs

I'm very happy to see the Spurs out :) though I do agree that this series wasn't the case of a number one seed falling on their own ass. Memphis played their hearts out
 
The Mavericks are horrible front runners, oddly just like the Cowboys, but are great at playing the under dog. I wouldn't call them under dogs here necessarily, but they certainly aren't the favorite. If they had Caron, they would be the favorite I believe. The Mavericks here remind me of the Finals team before game 3. Except this team has better defense. I'm not saying they are going to the Finals again, but I think this team has as good a chance as any other.
 
LA in 5. Mavs are a nice, soft, jump shooting team and that is exactly what the Lakers need right now. Kobe vs Peja/Marion/Stevenson? Bryant is gonna have an awesome series, hahah. Bynum is gonna tear it up on both ends, there's really no one on that team that can even hope to contain him. Chandler can't guard him, Haywood does a better job, but he's an offensive liability. The match ups heavily favor the Lakers.
 
mavs are better than the hornets, and tyson chandler adds a demention this team never had before. so im saying LA in 6 I think gasol will have a break out series maybe odom.

So pumped about the other series. Boston/miami will be great, memphis/OKC will be fuckin awsome. the only series that looks to be a little average is the bulls hawks. we will see.
intersting to see miamis defining moment come as well to. pretendor or contender. we will know after this series.

Marion is a great defender. If you think that Carlisle will have Peja on Kobe you are insane. Stevenson is a good defender too. Noone can stop Kobe, only slow him down a bit. Chandler is a monster defensively. He makes every other person on the court better on defense. Who is going to stop Dirk? No one matches up with Dirk well. And if he drives the lane and gets to the line like he did against Portland, he is unguardable. LA in 7 is likely, but I can see Dallas winning.
 
^Yes he is. D-Wade for the win. Dude can't hit a three in the regular season to save his life, but when the playoffs come around he can hit it from anywhere.


James Jones for the motherfucking win as well. 25 points on insane threes, and drawing motherfucking charges.


I'll enjoy my afterglow for now, but knowing that this is a best of seven series with the C's Big 3, I still cannot rest easy. Nice to win game one, but I hope we continue to play with this intensity.
 
^yeah enjoy it for now. Even if Miami wins the series, then you'll have the bulls with home court where they were 36-5 this season.

How many times did Miami beat the bulls this year? (they didn't)

The bulls showing in the first round was sad, they barely won 3 of the 4 games but the bulls record against the other top 5 teams in the league this season? 9 wins and 4 losses and undefeated at home against every great team. Miami's? 4 wins and 9 losses.

Home court is certainly nice when you hardly ever lose there!
