Why didnt the Spurs Foul?

Image
Why oh Why didn't the spurs foul???  The Nuggets got the rebound with 27.8 seconds left, they got the ball over halfcourt with  17.9 seconds, and the Spurs just didn't foul. This is basic Basketball, I mean it should be automatic, it should come naturally, it should be stuck deep somewhere in the subconscious, in this suitation you foul and you foul as quick as possible, this is not Basketball from the 50's, you can pull back a lead quite easily. The Spurs had an outside chance here,  but couldnt get up a shot even when the Nuggets missed, they let the Nuggets run out the clock. I'm speechless, I'm without speech. Not since the Nelson Giants  who were once down by four and had possession and didn't even get up a shot, have I been this much in shock. Staggering!! Maybe its time to do a #ClassicNBA  tag along with the #ClassicNBL tag? Gotta Love the Playoffs.

Meet 2018's version of Brendan Telfer, her name is Dana Johannsen, she used to be nzherald's main sports reporter she is now with Fairfax's  stuff's  website. If you would like to compare her to any other Journo, Brendan Telfer would be the one, like Brendan Telfer she has a history of lying about certain sports, and totally ignoring others. Bredan Telfer was the Journo who loved to tell the NZ public that Netball was this global sport. He loved to mock League calling the league world cup worthless, while cheering on any world cup victory in Netball, he would state Rugby is huge, league is nothing, yet wouldn't make the true comparison  with Netball and Basketball. Today stuff's, Dana Johannsen did this piece on how Netball which has long been the number one sport for girls is under threat from other sports, Rugby in particular, but she mentioned other sports as well are challenging Netball in New Zealand for girls. Yet, she didnt mention the main threat and tha...

Steven Adams: Game Two

Image
Every Kiwi must of loved this. Game two of the Conference Semi Finals, The Thunder needing the win, after losing Game one. Spurs passes the Ball to their Aussie player Patty Mills, wide open for three, and as takes the shot, THE BIG KIWI, Steven Adams comes from no where and makes the little Aussie throw up a air ball. Adams tried to get back to the loose ball, but was hold back by a fan. Didn't matter though, because the Thunder won! He had 17 Rebounds in the game, and 12 points, but it was his heart and his courage that won the game for the Thunder tonight. Let that be a lesson to all Aussies, you never try to get one over a Kiwi, you just cant win. THUNDER UP!
