2010-2011 NBA Season

Indiana just scored 54 points in the third quarter against Denver. 20-for-21 from the field. Pacers lead 115-78.

I'm anxious to see if Kiki Vandeweghe and Alex English can slice into that deficit.

 

And Indiana made its first 20 shots of the quarter. Lone miss was a McRoberts 3-pointer with a second left in the third.

 

Another insane game. Jazz score 32 points in first half, trail Miami by 19. They score 72 in the second half, 42 in the fourth, against a Heat defense that hadn't given up 100 in a game. Millsap has 44, including 3 threes late, and just sent it into OT with a buzzer-beater. But Deron Williams has fouled out. Reminds me of the Jazz win over the Cavs last year at the buzzer.

 

I'm not sure Chris Bosh could play any softer than he's playing right now. Milsap eating them alive in the mid-range and on the block.

Wade is taking over in the OT, though.

Kirilenko trey puts the Jazz up. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if the Heat blow this.

 

Collapse complete.

Wade commits foul with 0.4 seconds left in a tie game.

Utah up 116-114.

 

Boy, hate to see Miami blow a 22-point lead at home and lose in OT.

 

Sir, we have a blue font for posts such as this.

 

For me, the best thing about this story is seeing the byline. I'd heard last year that Phil wasn't in such great health, so it's good to see he's back at it.

 

The "superstar" and "max-deal" labels for Bosh are proving to be comical. He won't get the touches he got in Toronto but rebounding is heart and he has done a poor job so far.

Mr. Softy.

 

Yeah. Bosh averaging a robust 15 and 6 so far.

hahaha

 

There's no dateline and nothing in the article indicates that he travelled to Turkey to research or write the story.

So, how does he write a lede like this:

He wasn't there. How can he measure the level of anticipation? He should have quoted someone else describing the level of anticipation rather than stating it himself.

Though, he also didn't talk to anyone in Turkey either. He only quotes Turks residing in the States and one player currently playing in Italy who spent a couple of years playing in Turkey.

 

That was amazing -- that they let McRoberts shoot that last shot.

Indiana was on an incredible tear, but that quarter also said a lot about Denver's lack of heart. My rec league plays harder defense.
