    Did anybody watch the end of the Clippers/Memphis game Fri night??

    Ah yes..my point so proven. Van Gundy who was doing the tv commentary was in disbelief. Why?? Clippers scored to make it a 2 point game..maybe 5 seconds to go..instead of imendiately fouling the player on the inbound pass..clipper players standing around..like they gave up..could care less. Guess what, not every player cares like the fans wanna believe. The game is secondary to real life and the salary you make..when do people get that. Maybe some twenty five yrs ago it was different. This is not a business and the competitve aspect is not so key anymore. Watch the countdown here...forward to around the 2 minute 30 second mark..watch number 2...its funny but so true..how people like to hyp[e up the game and the bullshit...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Onfzet1xxs

    what i saw was a bunch of ridiculously dumb athletes making mistakes 1 after another in the last five minutes. The great Paul was terrible. He turned it over three straight trips trying to dribble thru 4 guys like somehow he could. Then we have the jackass rebounding the foul shot out of bounds when it was going right in a teammates hands. Every time the Clippers would make a mistake Memphis would do something stupid right after the clippers did.

    I see shady stuff all the time that makes me question how legit the NBA actually is.

    With that said, there was 3 seconds left, not 5. The Clippers just totally lost Connelly and couldn't catch him in three seconds. It wasn't so much that they weren't trying to foul, it was more that they were disorganized after the made shot and Memphis immediately inbounded the ball.

    LOL. That's giving them too much respect. I see these morons doing all sorts of dumb shit at the end of the games.

    Bledsoe was daydreaming and close to the basket on Foye's shot in case of a rebound, shot went in and he didnt find his man, if he's on his man he could have fouled and who knows what happens after that. Just a mental mistake on his part, it happens, especially to the younger players.

    Yeah. It was a scramble situation at the end of the game. LA hit a desperation three pointer with three seconds. No one was in position and Memphis did the smart thing by immediately inbounding and running up court.

    It's not like LA wasn't trying to foul. They just couldn't catch him in 3 seconds.

    All I know is I had the under 179 & Memphis ML on live play from early 2nd Q. When I looked at the box score, play by play, I realized I got lucky as F on the under. Wow!!!

    u can also ask y watson passed the ball to asik when all he had to do was dribble the ball around until they fouled him
    sometimes the game just moves too fast and people just dont think

    They were just happy to be in the playoffs. They knew they weren't making it past Spurs.
