What do they mean with 'Thunder has a foul to give'?
 Quoting: RoXY


In each quarter each team is allowed 5 fouls. Team fouls. Team fouls are fouls that are not in the act of shooting. But shooting fouls also count against team fouls.

So if a player fouls a guy coming up the court with a foul to give you can foul him and he doesnt shoot. If you already have 5 fouls then any foul means free throws.

When tehy are saying "okc has a foul to give." It means that as the clock is winding down they can foul and not give up the shot. It forces the other team to try to get a shot after the foul eats up clock time. Hoping they wont get as good a possession.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

Lebron is better than all of the above.

Stop following what people tell you and watch teh game stats.

Lebron does more of everything than all those guys.

Wilt played against old fogeys who WATCHED HIM SCORE. There was no freakin defense. Go watch teh tape. IMO there should be a * for wilt.

Kobe and MJ are better scorers sure(however lebron is improving his jump shot) but lebron is a better basketball player.

Seattle citizens voted them out, far as I'm concerned. They voted against the new arena that would have kept them there.

They aren't the Sonics anymore. That team was left in Seattle.

This is the Thunder. Not sonics. Get over it.

Re: Who is watching the NBA finals? Pro basketball talk thread
David stern and the refs are trying to give the games to the heat because of lebron. Durant is never in foul trouble but the past two games he's in foul trouble. WTF??? Even the commentators are saying all those weren't even fouls. So blatant in your face trickery and bias going on. Heat in 5 it's over! Sorry guys but I've been a fan for years but I saw my team get demolished by the refs against OKC I'm a spurs fan but the games are decided before the end of the finals.

Or OKC will win game 4 & 5, Heat 6 & than it will be 'fairly' decided in the 7th...

I mean, with an economic crisis going on it's a huge cash-cow for lots of people - also 'hard-working folks making an extra, honest buck'.

And if the game's rigged anyway, why not?

Wanna bet?

I was watching tape of MJ in the finals, i forget what year. Gary Payton stole the ball from him and went down and layed it up and MJ didnt stop them.

Soemthing people fail to realize is how defense makes you tired. Jordan didnt chase him down cause it was too much effort. I watched and thought "oh wow lebron would chased his ass down and got the block." Mj didnt even give it any effort. Lebron would never do that.

Playing defense and offense at the level James does is beyond MJ and Kobe. No one does it all like leberon.

People are all over MJ and Kobe cause they got rings and they score alot. Lebron will get his rings and he scores a lot too. And has more blocks,assists,rebounds,steals,tipped passes,kick balls, and a higher FG%. If you look past the fan fair it isnt even close.

Lebron is on another tier above MJ and Kobe. But people wont recognize this till he gets 5 rings. But hes gonna get a few before.

Well maybe not so much MJ. Id say the only people id put in MJ tier are lebron and bird. and thats it. But lebron is way better than kobe. No doubt about it.

They are the 3 at the top all time right now. And lebron gets more bonus because hes still got more time to continue entertaining.



And naw OKC gonna lose it in 5. Lebron is done being polite. I think last year he threw it away cause of all the pressure. But after losing he has no pressure now. Just doing what he does. If he woulda done that last year they woulda won.

OKC is a good team. But they are young. It isnt their time just yet. But considering where they are and the potential and room to grow? I think were gonna see Miami and OKC again next year as well. And maybe even the year after that.

Re: Who is watching the NBA finals? Pro basketball talk thread
If I remember correct MJ had an exceptionally talented team around him that was virtually unbeatable. So why bother about 2 lousy points if you are convinced beyond doubt that you & your buddies always score more than the opponent.

Actually I'd like to see Lebron play for OKC...

Basketball is enjoyed by those with IQ's less than 80.

Congratulations, retard.

It is a moronic, " back-and-forth" sport, taking absolutely no brains to engage in, thus enjoyed immensely by African-Americans, and a sport that just goes from one side to the other, in monotonous brain-dead fashion, just like soccer, and even hockey.

Anyone with a brain would rather play Chess.
