Yeap - and a team like the Magic foul when they are down 12 or more...

Different coaching philosophies. Sucks when you have money on the line.

I followed the last couple minutes online. Overall I like the way NBA teams handle games late. Its not "quitting" to concede at a certain point.

But come on. How does Dallas not foul there? 2-possession game with 13 seconds left and the ability to move the ball to half-court (not sure their timeout situation...)

How do you not play that out. Granted its probably going to take 4 missed free throws...but how much effort does it take to foul and make them hit a free throw to seal it. I guess they had somewhere to be...

It was bad...

Crazy night in NBA.

Monta Ellis hits a RIDICULOUS 3 point chuck up to win in Houston.

The Suns hit an amazing 3 point shot off a FT miss with no time left to send the Spurs to OT as a 16 point dog.

Even though I was on the wrong side of it all, as a basketball fan, this is good stuff.

I went very small tonight. I saw line movement on a couple of your plays and didn't take them. Thought about taking the night off and wish I had.

1-4 right now but like I say, went small. Took Hou, GS, and Memphis. Also took Maryland and Bradley. How does MD beat Duke and then lose to these shit teams when they need wins to make the dance?

Added Denver and Arizona St both a little bigger. Trying to salvage the night....even a split and it wont be too bad a day.

The Dallas game sucked (watching it online) b/c Dirk ends up on the line when they are down. Turned into a free throw contest just to push and we hit one, Dirk hit 2, then they don't even foul.

This is the most reg season NBA I've watched in years lol. Ready for march madness and then the playoffs.....

Watch the end of the Magic game right now and you can see the difference. They were down 7, 11 seconds to go - foul.

Down 6, 6.2 seconds to go - foul.

Wow, they didn't found down 8 with 4 seconds. Amazed...

And how is Memphis SO good at defense? Why don't other teams copy their sets, or is it just about effort?

Shutting down Lebron so far, impressive.
