It cracks me up how big the superhumongo database I manage is. Occasionally I'll have to sub-partition it b/c the reports time out if I try to run - prayformojo Jun 19, 11:53 8
- This reminds me that I still need to crunch the NSFW numbers on ST -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 12:12 5

you stay. to the end. of the game. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 11:45 2
- There have been games I started making my way out of the areana and kept watching, slowed up to make sure I saw the end and then bolted. - Spawn Jun 19, 11:47 1
  - sure, that's totally fine, just don't leave. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 11:51
as ever, hyde is correct. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 11:44 30
- and pixie is wrong. i do totally blame them. you don't leave with 30 seconds left and a chance...nm - x Jun 19, 11:49 29
  - yep. -- nm - b. Jun 19, 11:53
  - You don't leave with 30 seconds left even if you're down by 20, IMO. You stay and show your respect to the champs. - Jim Jun 19, 11:51 20
    - yeah, this is true as well...nm - x Jun 19, 11:57 1
      - I would LOVE to see a team actually get their trophy and win a championship. - Jim Jun 19, 11:59

      - Many of them do not know there is going to be a game 7! -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 11:54 14
        
        I didn't watch...I keep hearing some murmuring about the officiating...did the Spurs get jobbed at the end? - Jim Jun 19, 11:58 13
        
        For sure. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 12:15
        
        Duncan tackled Wade out of the lane at one point. There's no room for either team to complain. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 12:06 2
        
        You mean Bosh? Cause on the replay it showed it was just another Bosh flop... -- nm - Stephen Jun 19, 12:12 1
        
        no, it was Wade. On the Manu basket where he all of a sudden had 30 feet of clear space to run - Reagen Jun 19, 12:15
        
        i think the weeping over the officiating is overdone....nm - x Jun 19, 12:03 2
        
        and it's boring, to boot. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 12:06
        
        I agree. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 19, 12:04
        
        Yes. And even one of the announcers said, to paraphrase, I'm ok with that no call, but that's a foul in the first 48 minutes. - Stephen Jun 19, 12:01 5
        
        The announcer's said Manu's elbow to LeBron's throat would have been a Flagrant Foul in the regular season - amoxy Jun 19, 12:08
        
        I love how the whole point is to "not let the officials decide the game"...but no-calls kinda help decide the game to, no? -- nm - Jim Jun 19, 12:03 3
        
        If they would have made a couple of free throws, this argument would be moot -- nm - amoxy Jun 19, 12:04 2
        
        yeah. leonard hits two and it's over...nm - x Jun 19, 12:06
        
        Exactly. The Spurs had lots of chances to put it away. They just didn't. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 19, 12:05
  - the only chance they had was if Pop took out Tim Duncan and left the paint totally unguarded -- nm - charlie Jun 19, 11:50 5
    - I like how much less flack he has gotten than Vogel did. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 11:51 4
      - he's gotten a fair bit of flack for it. and, y'know, having won 4 previous championships buys a little slack...nm - x Jun 19, 11:55 1
        
        I understand, but it is still rather funny. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 11:55
      - Remind me again who Vogel is.....? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 19, 11:54 1
        
        Understand, but it was the *exact* same situation. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 11:54
  - No. Way. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 11:49
