Hawks get majorly ****ed.

The intentional foul rule in the NBA should just be thrown out since it never gets called. Daniels makes no play on the ball whatsoever on the 2nd ref **** up. The first should have been 2 shots on the foul before the inbounds.

NBA refs are the ****ing worst.

Just don't get how coaches who are paid millions of dollars and have assistants who get hundreds of thousands of dollars can make a decision like that when it matters most?

Agreed, although Al ended up with his free throws and blew it. Tough spot for a guy who hadn't been playing for much of the season. Bigger play to me was Josh settling for 21 footer (and we all thought he was past that) and then Joe Johnson being the mediocre player he is. Joe had his shoulder by old man Pierce and still got rejected. No way he shouldn't have at least drawn a foul there.

I knew that the ref wouldn't call that a shooting foul. Not in Boston.

No, its just a team with Tmac on it is destined for 1st round exit.

You honestly can't be satisfied with that series when Rose was out.

Getting past the first round is a huge year for them. Doesn't matter how it happens.

Yeah, hopefully they enjoy while they can. Boston will get rid of them.

DENVER — Denver Nuggets reserve center Chris “Birdman” Andersen has been excused indefinitely from all team-related activities after Douglas County sheriff’s deputies searched his home Thursday as part of an investigation by the department’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
So, Andersen won’t be on the bench when the Nuggets face the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of their playoff series Thursday night.
The team issued a statement saying Andersen has been “excused from all team-related activities indefinitely as he deals with the reported investigation” and declined further comment.
The 10th-year pro hasn’t played in the postseason after averaging 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds during the regular season.
Sheriff’s spokesman Ron Hanavan confirmed that the search took place Thursday. Andersen has not been arrested and Hanavan said no arrest warrant has been issued.
The department began investigating Andersen in February after receiving information from a law enforcement agency in California. Hanavan declined to release details, including the nature of any pending charges, citing an ongoing investigation. He said they’re asking that the case be sealed.
Andersen answered the door at his Larkspur, Colo., home, about 40 miles south of Denver, and let deputies in, said Deborah Sherman, another sheriff’s spokesperson.
“He did cooperate. He spoke with deputies,” Sherman said.
The unit investigating Andersen investigates child porn, Internet luring and child predators.
The sheriff’s office said it recovered property from Andersen’s home that investigators believe is connected with the case. Sherman said items typically seized by the unit include computers, hard drives, and thumb drives, though she said she could not provide details on what items were seized from Andersen’s home, citing the ongoing investigation.
An arrest is not imminent, Sherman said, saying that it typically takes several weeks to a month for investigators to collect evidence from the seized items.
Deputies requested that the search warrant application filed in court be sealed because of the ongoing investigation.
Mark Bryant, who serves as Andersen’s agent and attorney, said: “At this time, I respect the process and I have no further comment to protect the integrity of everyone involved. We’ll proceed from there.”
A message left at Andersen’s home wasn’t immediately returned Thursday to The Associated Press.
Andersen is in his 10th year in the NBA and his seventh season in Denver, although his playing time dropped dramatically this season as young players gobbled up more minutes.

What's funny is that the Nuggets will take the Lakers to a game 7. Clearly a two team race in the West.

Yeah I agree. Home court is a huge advantage in basketball. Lakers will get it done in LA

okcchief · 05-10-2012, 10:27 PM

Ive been pretty confident in OKC against these two teams all along. I think the Lakers would be more fun because our crowd gets so amped for them. If we have Perk we'll beat these teams in 5 games. If we don't, it will be tough, but we should still win in 6 or 7.
It's a much better matchup for us than the Clippers or Memphis would be. Don't mind seeing it go 7 so Perkins gets a couple more days. Although a game Saturday night sounds like fun

okcchief · 05-10-2012, 10:30 PM

George Karl is schooling Mike Brown BTW. I think Denver has a chance in game 7.
