Can't really blame Tony Allen on that final play. Most player will try to block it will only 1.7 seconds left. Great game nonetheless since it's thefirst game I've watched the Celtics playing a quality team.

If you talkin to me, I had that in the quick reply box after the foul but didnt press it, but I wasnt acting like I was 'calling' it, I said it needs to be him, then edited wit aafter the foul...
I meant the referees calling that foul; don't end a great game like that.
Fifth, I wish I had a screencap of the chick's booty when the cameras went to Devin Harris in the Mavs' locker room. Looked like Rachel Nichols.
Rachel Nichols has nice buns?

How are you gonna end the game on a pump fake-lean into the defender foul? The Reggie Miller Special?
That's why I quit watching the NBA outside of my two teams, but I figured this would be a good game so I'd watch. Now I remember why I stopped.
I hear you, bud.
This crap has GOT to stop.pump fake-lean into the defender
It's just such a shame that someone KNOWN for pulling this pulled it to end the game.

1.7 seconds left? Yeah, I'm pretty sure 100% of NTers would have been on that fake as well.

The last thing you want to do is go for a shot block on a JUMP SHOOTER to end the game.....

SO what should he have done, just stand there and watch Billups shoot a 16 footer? That would have been dumb.
Tony Allen made an instinctive basketball play. Problem is, he's not in a basketball league. This $*@# is Sternstuball, it ain't the same sport. Ifthis is any other league in the world, that's a no call or offensive foul and Billups coach is yelling at him for not just shooting.
Wouldn't you have rather seen Billups nail a J over Tony Allen's closeout defense? Or Tony Allen with the great block or contest? A pump fake and leaninto you on a marquee national tv game? C'mon Stern. Handle that
Fourth, the Celtics have lost 2 games by a basket and another in ot by 5 points. Still the team to beat.
I like the C's cause of Ray Allen and KG....but the Celtics haven't even made the playoffs with that squad, and although they will this season, thatdoesn't make them the team to beat. The Pistons have thee starters that can equally compete with the Celtics, except they have veterans with championshipexperience.
They just beat the Celtics who are straight DOMINANT @ home, great win to show who's the team to beat in the East.
Tony Allen did NOT jump into Billups.
Tony Allen DID NOT jump straight up, he broke the "parallel plane" your allowed and jumped towards Billups and tried to play it off by turning hisback, refs won't fall for that nonsense.

Nah, he just had to be more alert. Its just like how coaches tell their players how to gaurd Kobe, they tell the players to never leave their feetcuz he gonna draw the foul everytime. You gotta know the players who take advantage of that...
I guess I can understand the complaints, but its not streetball where players are just gonna play straight up. Pro ball has always been a game of deceit.

Nah, Tony Allen didnt jump into Billups, but he jumped AT him, its not like he jumped straight up with his hands up. The reason why refs call thatis because that impedes a player's space when the contact is made, who's to say Billups wasnt tryna shoot a leaning jumper? Of course that wasnt hisintention, but its in the rules for the refs to respect that...

He simply jumped, and Billups jumped into the mid-air Allen.
And THAT is the problem I have.
I don't fault Tony for jumping. I fault Billups for jumping into an airborne Allen, the refs for falling for it, and the league for not doing anything about it.
Bottom line: there's nothing wrong with jumping to block a shot, as long as you're not jumping into the player. When the offensive player sees that maybe yu're going to jump into him and maybe you're not, and he decides to jump into the defender to be SURE that there's contact, there's a problem.
And THAT'S the reason the league is not bringing in the fans post Jordan, because it's not about basketball anymore. It's about fooling the refs and loopholes in the interpretation of the rules.
But Stern will continue to focus on the wrong things like dress code, and taking away player's iPods, and trying to turn them into schoolgirls when the bottom line is the on court product is deteriorating in quality.
Preach.
If anything it was an offensive foul. Tony Allen was more vertical than Billups
Your a blind person my friend.
