clock management in the NBA
See it way too often, a team has the chance to hold for one (one final shot and deny the other team a shot) and they look for a quick hoop....or chance for a 2 for 1 and they take there time and its turns out a shot a piece. See it so damn often and it really irritates me.

Once guys get to the NBA, fundamentals and brains go out the window. So much talent in the league, but they make a mockery of playing the game. I still bet it....LOL!

Cleveland made a hoop with a minute left to get within 8 and played straight up defense letting Suns burn up entire clock. Did the Cavs coach think they can make up 8 points in 36 seconds or did they just throw in the towel with a minute left down 8 at home. Either way didn't make sense to me.

I was watching this only because I took the Cavs +8. I was expecting a foul after the hoop. Didn't understand not even trying to extend the game.

Oklahoma City gets within 5 with 40 secs left after 2 made FTs and they dont foul??????????????? Did they think they were gonna make up 5 pts in 16 secs if they played defense?

Denver then scores to up 7 with 20 secs left and misses the FT.....Oklahoma rebounds a missed 3 and gets fouled to get within 5 with 11 seonds left and then they dont foul? I dont understand this league sometimes.....really dont

Minny seems to be the one team in the league that always fouls to extend the game. They never quit....

I dunno but down only 5 with 12 secs left is usually a spot where I see a foul nearly every single time....at least thats what I thought.

When I coached hoops, as long as it was a 2 possession game I instructed my folks to foul......
