re: What a joke...calling a timeout in the NBA allows you to advance the ball 65 ft.

They just changed the rule in OT. Such bullshite.


Did I say that? The rule was stupid tonight....it was stupid yesterday too, and the weeks and years prior. It makes the league look gimmicky, like the arena football league or something.

it has always been the rule. You're only bitching because the Heat called timeout.

Indy did it the possession before


And it was stupid then too.

I did NOT have a rooting interest in this game. This is not bitching due to the Heat winning.
As a casual fan who just happened to be watching the game, I left feeling like the game had been handed to the Heat, merely due to the fact that they had a timeout left with 2.2 seconds. The rule cheapens the game. For all of you diehards who like the rule...then you can have your little video-game inspired bullshite.

That doesn't change the fact that the rule's sole purpose is to keep the game close at the end of the game. It's a bad rule. It adds entertainment value but makes no sense whatsoever. Has nothing to do with tonight.

FUUUUUCK do you people lack reading comprehension?

I DIDNT GIVE 2 SHITS WHO WON THE GAME.

The same amount of shits weren't given that it was LeBron who won the game. I am very neutral...but that rule bastardizes the game and anybody who denies that is delusional. That is all.

So say the heat lose the game, would you be making this thread considering the fact that a timeout helped the pacers advance the ball for George's tying 3?

Hell no, you wouldn't have.

i think the rule is fine, but they should put them on the other side of half court like 10 feet behind mid court. near the three point line.
