It's a good thing that the Jazz don't play the Spurs in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs because they might be looking for payback after this foul on Francisco Oberto: That has to be the hardest, most non-chalant foul I've ever seen. Let's just take a wild haymaker-like swing near somoene's face and see what happens! I also really enjoyed Hubie Brown's response to Mike Tirico's call of "incidental contact" on the previous play: "Did I hear you say incidental? Incidental because you and I are 40 feet away."

If you've come here looking for praise of the Spurs and Tim Duncan, then I suggest you leave now, because you won't find it here - ever. Tim Duncan didn't hit a clutch shot to force the second overtime. He lucked out and hit a shot he never takes. There's nothing clutch about that at all. It's like picking some idiot out of the stands and asking him to hit a half-court shot. Occasionally the idiot hits it. Was he 'clutch'? Hell no. He was lucky, just like Duncan. Now, once again, the loathsome Spurs - and their hideous brand of basketball - have the upper hand on the Suns. I ...
